How the job changes from property to property
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.
Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Tendring
Air conditioning pulls room air through a filter and across a cold coil many times an hour. Whatever is in the air, from dust to pet hair, collects on the filter and coil. A service clears it away, so the system can move air properly and the drain can do its job. Typical jobs include systems that haven’t been serviced for a while and drips or damp patches below an indoor unit, across air-to-air heat pumps, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Tendring, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Tendring
How often do you service systems in Tendring?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Is Tendring within the area you cover?
Yes. Tendring is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
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 are members of Checkatrade too.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again and that is money wasted.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
We do. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.

Keeping systems in Tendring running
About 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Tendring, you reach the Tendring Conservation Area. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Tendring, Church of St Edmund (grade II*) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. Site managers at schools like Tendring Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Looking after your system
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Keep the filters clean between visits
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
When we finish, we leave a record of the visit, listing the work, the checks and any recommendations. File it with the system’s manual and warranty documents so the service history is in one place.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooling capacity that doesn’t match the space
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

“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.”
