Air conditioning servicing in Sherborne St John

Air conditioning servicing in Sherborne St John, done properly

We’re 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. We’re often asked to deal with a system that struggles to cool on warm days and F-gas leak checks falling due, across air-to-air heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems.

Around Sherborne St John, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.

We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Before you call an engineer

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.

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Common questions in Sherborne St John

How often do you service systems in Sherborne St John?

For most homes, once a year. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.

Can you do air conditioning servicing in Sherborne St John?

Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Sherborne St John is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

What does an air con service involve?

The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. You get a record of the visit.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

How long will the engineer be here for the service?

A service takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, so give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk to arrange a time.

Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?

The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Sherborne St John

The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • The size of the job
  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • Whether we need access equipment for high-level work

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
  • Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
  • Any error code or flashing light on the display

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.

What we do, step by step

Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. If a lane or gateway near Sherborne St John is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.

  1. First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
  2. The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
  3. Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
  4. We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
  5. A final test run follows, then you get the service record.

  • Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
