- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
What we do, step by step
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 anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Shirley.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that is been bothering you.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
About our air conditioning servicing in Shirley
For homes with one or two units and businesses with many, we can set up a maintenance contract. We agree the visits, what each one covers and the price with your quote, and the servicing happens on schedule. The work covers VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about water dripping from the indoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check.
Commercial systems in a London area like Shirley may need F-gas leak checks as well as a service, depending on how much refrigerant it holds. We record the checks and tell you when the next one is due.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shirley
When air can’t get through the unit easily, the system has to run longer to get there. A service puts that right with a clean and lets the system run as it was designed to. Booking in spring means a home or office in Shirley is ready before the first hot week.
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.

FAQs for Shirley

A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.

Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Straightforward work can be priced remotely. Bigger jobs get a survey and a written fixed price.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.

We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.

Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

Keeping systems in Shirley running
About 49% of homes across Shirley and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. London outdoor units collect city dust and grime, so the outdoor coil gets particular attention on a service.
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling. Schools such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
Wall-mounted units are the most common indoor unit in homes. Filters and covers come off easily for cleaning, and the drain is checked at the same time.
Filters
Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. We check these as well and explain what the manufacturer recommends.
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
