Air conditioning servicing in Strood, Medway
Need air conditioning servicing in Strood? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, then sign it off with written records.
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- Condensate leaking into the room
What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes an hour or two for most homes, and longer where there are several indoor units or a ducted system. Most visits to homes in Strood are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- 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.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Air conditioning servicing in Strood, done properly
Every hour, an indoor unit draws the room’s air through its filter and over its coil again and again. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. Servicing removes it, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. Common call-outs are for ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit, on multi-split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
Around Strood, we service home systems and business ones. Most homes only need a service once a year, while hard-working business systems may need more.
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.

- Pipework or drainage that was badly installed in the first place
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with

What else we do in Strood
Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Strood
Electrical terminals can work loose as the system heats, cools and vibrates. That can lead to intermittent faults which is why they’re checked on every service.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
- F-gas leak checks falling due
- No service record for the last year or more
For a school like Elaine Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term.

FAQs for Strood
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning servicing in Strood?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Where pictures are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Do you cover Strood for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Strood falls inside our working area. Just phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, for homes and businesses. We fix the schedule, the scope and the cost with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
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 electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. A service record follows.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning servicing in Strood
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
