What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Westgate-on-Sea.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- The electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are checked, with a leak check where required.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Before we arrive

- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Pricing air conditioning servicing in Westgate-on-Sea
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How easy the units are to reach
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Your installation or service records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Common questions in Westgate-on-Sea
How often do you service systems in Westgate-on-Sea?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Westgate-on-Sea?
It can. Westgate-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
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 written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after each visit.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
- Close windows when the air conditioning is running
- Book the service at least once a year
For systems that need them, the leak check and its result go on record, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
Cleaning the filters between services helps a great deal. Most indoor units have filters you can slide out and rinse, and the manual shows how.
Keeping systems in Westgate-on-Sea running
The coast is only about 1 mile from Westgate-on-Sea. A yearly service matters more near the coast, where salt speeds up corrosion on coils and fixings.
