About our air conditioning servicing in Shoreham-by-Sea
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. Each brand sets its own terms, and we can explain what yours says. You get a record of each service to keep with the warranty paperwork. The work covers air-to-air heat pumps, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
A service in Shoreham-by-Sea usually starts with the filters and the indoor coil, then the drain, the outdoor unit and the electrics, and we finish by testing the temperatures and checking for leaks.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air conditioning servicing in Shoreham-by-Sea: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Shoreham-by-Sea. Salt air settles on outdoor coils, so coastal systems benefit from regular servicing. The Shoreham-by-Sea Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Shoreham-by-Sea, within about a third of a mile. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Shoreham-by-Sea. Church of St Mary De Haura, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 36 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Shoreham-by-Sea’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
Offices and shops near Shoreham-By-Sea station can have their systems serviced without closing. If you look after a school such as Buckingham Park Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

For landlords and property managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
- Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
After the service, you get a record of what was done, with the checks carried out and anything we’d recommend. Keep it with the manufacturer’s paperwork so the service history is in one place.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow and should be moved away.
Common questions in Shoreham-by-Sea
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Shoreham-by-Sea?
We do: Shoreham-by-Sea falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Shoreham-by-Sea?
It can. Shoreham-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
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 AirCon Doctor is certified.
Is a regas part of an air conditioning service?
Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. We check the refrigerant performance, and if we suspect a leak we explain how it can be found and repaired.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. A visit in Shoreham-by-Sea is booked for a time that suits you.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
