Soho air conditioning servicing
One call covers annual servicing and F-Gas leak checks for domestic and commercial air conditioning in Soho: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
Air conditioning servicing in Soho, 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. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. The work covers multi-split systems, VRF systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are smells coming from the indoor unit and a unit showing a fault code.
For a flat or office in Soho, tell us where the outdoor unit is and how we reach it, as that affects how long the service takes. Managed buildings may need the visit booked through the agent.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many units are involved
- How easy the units are to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone 07833 053749 for straight advice and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Questions from Soho
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning servicing in Soho?
The easiest way is to give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details and photos. Where pictures are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
How often should air conditioning in Soho be serviced?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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 tell you what to do first.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
The service checks how the refrigerant circuit is performing, but does not include adding gas. If gas has been lost, the right step is a leak search and repair, then a regas with a fixed price for each step.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Is Soho in your area?
Yes. Soho is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- VRF systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we tidy up before we leave. For a job in Soho, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Air conditioning servicing around Soho
Central Soho is inside the Soho Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Soho and it takes in 30 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 956 within half a mile of the centre, such as House of St Barnabas (grade I). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 49% of homes in and around Soho were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 96% of households live in flats. If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we will need to get to the outdoor unit. City dust and debris build up on London outdoor units, which is why servicing matters.
For an office near Tottenham Court Road station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.
Soho is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We cover Soho for air conditioning servicing, along with the rest of Greater London. Our list for Greater London has 764 entries and Soho is among them.
Not far from Soho, a recent job of ours was on East Hill, Wandsworth (SW18), about 5 miles south-west: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the open-plan living area.
Here we cover the W1F, W1T and W1D postcode area. Being close to the A4 and A301, Soho is simple for us to get to.

Landmarks near Soho
Around Soho, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Bar Soho, St Anne's Churchyard and Harris Westminster Sixth Form and the streets around them. You will also find LITE Regal International School (0.6 miles west) and London Library (0.5 miles south-west). There’s a railway station in Soho itself: Tottenham Court Road station. A little further out are Kingly Court (within half a mile west) and Montfichet's Tower (1.3 miles east). Not far away are St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
What we are called out for in Soho
Outdoor units sit in the weather all year. Leaves, grime and plant growth gather on the fins and around the unit, which makes it harder for the unit to shed or pick up heat.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- Error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit
Schools such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
From one of our customers
“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.”
