Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Somerley
A slow leak can go unnoticed for a long time. Performance drops slowly and only becomes obvious when the weather is at its extreme.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Warning lights on the indoor unit
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

About our air conditioning servicing in Somerley
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. There’s no guessing at the bill afterwards. If you are dealing with air conditioning that isn’t cooling as well as it did and frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes, we can help.
For a home in or near Somerley, a service once a year suits most systems, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Some indoor units rely on a small pump to move the water. The pump is tested to make sure it works since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
Filters
Some systems have extra filters for fine dust or odours. We check these as well and explain what the manufacturer recommends.

Air conditioning servicing in Somerley: the local picture
Somerley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Somerley, you reach the Somerley Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 17 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Somerley; Mill House (grade II) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
If you look after a school such as Birdham CE Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.

Not far from Somerley, a recent job of ours was on East Street, Chichester (PO19), about 5 miles north-east: installing a Daikin wall-mounted unit in the dining area and a second unit serving the kitchen pass area.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Somerley
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Somerley?
It can, as Somerley is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Will you come out to Somerley?
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.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What does an air con service involve?
A clean of the parts that collect dirt and a check of the parts that do the work. That means filters, coils and drains, plus electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance, and F-gas leak checks where they apply.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I do any of the installation 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.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Somerley can be planned properly.
- You tell us the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Pricing air conditioning servicing in Somerley
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What kind of system it is
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your installation or service records
- The address and the type of property
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
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.”
