About our air conditioning servicing in Sholden
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak somewhere. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. Typical jobs include smells coming from the indoor unit and weaker cooling than last year, across ceiling cassettes, air-to-air heat pumps and multi-split systems.
In a village like Sholden, outdoor units often face hedges, fields or gardens, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What a service looks like in Sholden
Sholden is within about 2 miles of the coast. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings. About 65% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. The centre of Sholden lies within a conservation area. Church of St Nicholas, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 9 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Sholden’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Booking before the first hot spell means the system is ready when you need it. Schools such as Sholden Church of England Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Common questions in Sholden
Is Sholden within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does my air con in Sholden need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after every visit.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Why deal with it now?
Drainage problems tend to grow. What starts as a damp patch under the indoor unit can become water running down the wall, which is easily avoided by clearing the drain on a service. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Sholden.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:

- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair

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.”
