Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How long does an air conditioning service take?
The visit takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. If we find something that needs repairing, we explain it and price it before doing anything else, and you can ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email to book.

Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
About our air conditioning servicing in Whippendell Bottom
Servicing doesn’t mean topping up refrigerant. Refrigerant runs in a sealed circuit and shouldn’t need adding to. Where the checks suggest gas has been lost, the right step is to find the leak, and we’ll set out how. If the problem is weaker cooling than last year and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Most systems around Whippendell Bottom need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

If you can’t remember the last service, it’s probably due.

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
The process
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. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Whippendell Bottom.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- We run the system first and see how it’s performing.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- We check the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing, and carry out a leak check where the rules call for it.
- You get a service record, with anything that needs attention explained.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
