Air conditioning servicing in Three Leg Cross
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. Under the GOV.UK rules, 5 to under 50 tCO2e means a leak check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e means every 6 months. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
Around Three Leg Cross, outdoor units sit close to gardens and greenery, where seeds and leaves collect on the coil. A yearly clean keeps the system working well.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Three Leg Cross questions
Does my air con in Three Leg Cross need a yearly service?
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.
Is Three Leg Cross in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Three Leg Cross is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Three Leg Cross and across East Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Filters, coils, fans and the condensate drain are all cleaned and checked. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. 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.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, for homes and businesses. The visits, what each covers and the price are agreed with your quote and the servicing happens on time.
Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
What affects the cost of air conditioning servicing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What we are called out for in Three Leg Cross
Filters clog gradually, a little more every day the system runs. As they fill, less air gets through, the coil can get too cold and the room takes longer to cool or warm.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
Spring is a good time for a service, before the system is needed for cooling.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Three Leg Cross around you.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit is cleaned and checked, and debris cleared from around it.
- 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
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
