FAQs for Tidmarsh
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Tidmarsh?
Yes, Tidmarsh is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in Tidmarsh?
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.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes. A contract sets out how often we visit and what each visit covers with the price fixed when you accept the quote. It suits anyone who would rather not track service dates.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
How much time does an air con service need?
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, and we will give you an idea when we book.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
How we handle air conditioning servicing in Tidmarsh
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. If the performance checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it rather than just topping up. The work covers ducted systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and an unpleasant odour when the system runs.
We plan the trip to Tidmarsh and can service more than one unit in one visit.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Rented and managed buildings
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

Air conditioning servicing around Tidmarsh
On the National Heritage List, around 17 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Tidmarsh; Church of St Laurence (grade I) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. About 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
If you look after a school such as Pangbourne Primary School, servicing is easiest in the holidays. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Drain trays can collect sludge. A clean tray means fewer drips and fewer smells.
Filters
Certain indoor units carry additional filters alongside the main ones. They’re checked too, and we explain what the manufacturer suggests.
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Visits to Tidmarsh are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
What air conditioning will not do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Major component failures that call for a repair visit
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
