About our air conditioning servicing in Rye
People in Rye book a service for all sorts of reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that’s overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and F-gas leak checks falling due.
A yearly service suits most systems around Rye, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rye
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

Common questions in Rye
Is Rye within the area you cover?
Yes. Rye is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often do you service systems in Rye?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. We agree the cost up front, and each visit is recorded.
What a service looks like in Rye
Rye lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air settles on outdoor coils, so coastal systems benefit from regular servicing. The middle of Rye is part of a conservation area. Historic England lists about 287 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Rye, including Church of St Mary (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If you run premises near Rye station, ask about servicing several units in one visit. If you look after a school such as Rye Community Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Rye.
- We start with the details of the system and anything you’ve noticed.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- If a repair is needed, you hear why and what it costs before anything is done.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Advice
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
