How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Everything the job in Thorpe-le-Soken needs is worked out beforehand.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Each indoor unit has its covers lifted so the filters, coil and tray can be cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
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 many jobs can be priced from that.

Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
- Leave space around the outdoor unit for air to flow
- Check what your manufacturer’s warranty asks of you
Run the system for a while after the visit and check it feels right. If anything seems off, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll talk it through.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

Thorpe-le-Soken questions
How often do you service systems in Thorpe-le-Soken?
Once a year suits most home systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Do you cover smaller places like Thorpe-le-Soken?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
It takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Access and the number of units decide most of the time so we will confirm the time when we book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Thorpe-le-Soken and across Essex. Let us know who the records should go to.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

“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.”
