What air conditioning servicing can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Shadoxhurst
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: a musty smell, weak cooling, water dripping indoors or simply because it’s been a while. Whatever the reason, the visit follows the same thorough checks. Typical jobs include a unit showing a fault code and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps.
For a home in or near Shadoxhurst, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What else we do in Shadoxhurst
For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Shadoxhurst.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Shadoxhurst questions
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Shadoxhurst?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Shadoxhurst is part of that. Just call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Is Shadoxhurst within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Ducted units in ceiling voids and outdoor units in awkward places can add time and we will let you know before the visit.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We are happy to go through them with you, and our service record shows the work was done.
