Shere air conditioning servicing
We cover Shere for air conditioning servicing. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
- F-gas leak checks falling due
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll talk it through.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Plants, bins and stored items piled around it get in the way of the air it needs and should be moved away.
Air conditioning servicing in Shere
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. We’re often asked to deal with noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, on VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
In a village like Shere, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and 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.

Shere questions
Does my air con in Shere need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Is Shere within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we don’t recommend it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
That’s down to your manufacturer’s terms, which vary. If servicing is required, a regular service record is the evidence, and we can explain what your brand asks for.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shere
A dirty filter or coil makes the system work harder for the same result. A service puts that right with a clean, and it means the system isn’t straining through the summer. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Shere.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What a service looks like in Shere
The middle of Shere is part of the Shere Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 50 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Shere; The Church of St James (grade I) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 38% of homes in and around Shere before 1919, and about 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
For a school like Shere CofE Aided Infant School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Visits to Shere are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.
- The wiring, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, plus a leak check on systems large enough to need one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. As an example, 3 kg of R32 comes to about 2.0 tCO2e, while 3 kg of R410A is about 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
