How the job changes from property to property
Indoor and outdoor coils
The indoor coil is where the air is cooled or warmed. Cleaning removes the dust that coats the fins, and we look for damage or corrosion.
Filters
Filters catch dust before it reaches the coil. On a service, they’re cleaned and checked for tears and we will say if one needs replacing.
Air conditioning servicing in Whetsted
We are asked to service systems for many different reasons: smells at start-up, a unit that struggles on hot days, drips from the indoor unit, or a service that is overdue. The same full set of checks applies whatever prompted the call. If you’re dealing with weaker cooling than last year and smells coming from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
For a home in or near Whetsted, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Whetsted
Do you cover Whetsted for air conditioning servicing?
Yes, Whetsted is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Is Whetsted within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
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. Fitting leak detection lets you double the interval and we’ll confirm which band applies.
How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Work in Whetsted is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

What air conditioning will not do
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Lost refrigerant, where the fix is a leak repair
- Heat from large windows, roof spaces or equipment beyond the system’s capacity
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep the service records with the warranty paperwork
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
If you’d rather not keep track of service dates yourself, ask about a maintenance contract. The visits and the price are fixed with your quote, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. A pipe that’s been knocked or covered can back up into the indoor unit.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
