Air conditioning servicing in Southwick
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. Each brand sets its own terms and we are happy to go through them with you. Our service record shows the work was done. If the problem is error codes or flashing lights on the indoor unit and no service record for the last year or more, we can help.
We plan the trip to Southwick and can service more than one unit in one visit.
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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common problems we fix in Southwick
Each indoor unit makes water when it cools, and that water needs a clear route out. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining and the result is drips from the indoor unit.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Weaker cooling than last year
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
If you look after a school such as King Richard School, servicing is easiest in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it

What air conditioning will not do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooling capacity that doesn’t match the space
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
What happens on the day
Our engineers 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. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Southwick.
- We ask about the system: the make, the number of indoor units and any problems you’ve noticed.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Air conditioning servicing in Southwick: the local picture
Southwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 80% of homes in the Southwick area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 39% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. The Southwick Conservation Area is within about a third of a mile of the centre of Southwick. Historic England lists about 51 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Southwick, including Red Lion Inn (grade II). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

Southwick questions
Will you come out to Southwick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often should air conditioning in Southwick be serviced?
For most homes, once a year. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
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 under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
