System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Where water can’t drain by gravity, a condensate pump lifts it. We check the pump runs and switches as it should since a stuck pump often means water from the unit.
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set so cleaning them is one of the first jobs.
Air conditioning servicing in Windmill Hill
A manufacturer’s warranty can come with conditions, and regular servicing may be one of them. The terms differ from brand to brand, so it’s worth reading yours, and we can explain what yours says. Our service record shows the work was done. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are drips or damp patches below an indoor unit and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts.
Several units at a home near Windmill Hill can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.

Windmill Hill: your questions answered
How often do you service systems in Windmill 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.
Is Windmill Hill in your area for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Windmill Hill falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
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 can tell you where your system sits.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
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.
Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Call about new noises or smells rather than waiting
- Make sure the condensate outlet can drain
A maintenance contract takes the scheduling off your hands. We agree the visits and the cost up front, and we get in touch when the next one is due.
Book a service at least once a year, and more often if the system works hard or the rules require it.

- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- We clean the filters and coils and make sure the condensate drains away.

- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Before we arrive
