- Noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit
- An unpleasant odour when the system runs
- Air conditioning that is not cooling as well as it did
Before you call an engineer
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Air conditioning servicing in West Hill, done properly
Servicing covers both halves of the system: the indoor units in the rooms and the outdoor unit outside. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in West Hill and the rest of Brighton and Hove, whatever the make. Common call-outs are for smells coming from the indoor unit and a service that’s overdue, across wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and VRF systems.
A yearly service suits most systems around West Hill, and some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Air conditioning servicing in West Hill: the local picture
West Hill is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal outdoor units are worth checking for corrosion at every service. West Hill’s centre falls inside the West Hill Conservation Area. In the mile around West Hill’s centre, 12 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 259 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Bartholomew (grade I). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 66% of homes in the West Hill area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 78% of households live in flats. In flats, outdoor units are often on balconies, roofs or high walls, so tell us how we reach yours.
For a school like St Paul's CofE Primary School and Nursery, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. Offices and shops near Brighton station can have their systems serviced without closing.

What affects the quote in West Hill
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many units are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The pipe route between the units
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in West Hill
How often do you service systems in West Hill?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you cover smaller places like West Hill?
Yes. West Hill 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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What does an air con service involve?
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.
Do I need a service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty?
Each manufacturer sets its own terms. Some may have servicing conditions attached, so check the terms for your system. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.

What air conditioning will not do
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning servicing, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- A failed compressor, fan motor or circuit board, which needs a repair
- A unit that was undersized when it was chosen
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
- Ducted systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant, and we clear up before we go. In a place like West Hill, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
