Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Westwood
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Westwood and the rest of Kent, whatever the make. We are often asked to deal with a system that struggles to cool on warm days and a unit showing a fault code, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
We plan the trip to Westwood 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 will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. We clean them and check for damage, and if a filter is past its best we tell you.
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers to make sure the system responds properly.
Servicing in Westwood: local notes
About 48% of homes across Westwood and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. On the National Heritage List, around 8 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Westwood; Ivy House (grade II) is one. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
For a school like Bean Primary School, maintenance visits can be booked out of term. Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A refrigerant leak, which needs finding and repairing, not topping up
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

How we price air conditioning servicing
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How easy the units are to reach
- How many units are involved
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
To get a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Common questions in Westwood
How often do you service systems in Westwood?
Once a year suits most home 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Westwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. 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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Not as a routine part of the service. The refrigerant circuit is sealed, so a system that is short of gas has a leak. Where the checks point to a leak, we explain the options for finding and fixing it.
When is an F-gas leak check required?
Under GOV.UK guidance, systems of 5 to under 50 tCO2e need a check at least every 12 months, and 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled, and we can tell you where your system sits.
What do you check on 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.

What else we do in Westwood
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. For a place like Westwood, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
