Our air conditioning service in RM17
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. The work covers VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are an old system that needs replacing and fans and portables that don’t keep up.
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
How we quote
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Why choose AirCon Doctor
- Diagnosis first, then a fixed price
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- F-Gas certified company
- MCS certified heat pump installers
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Around Grays

Where we install in RM17
From Grays, Little Thurrock and Chafford Hundred outwards, RM17 has every kind of home. We survey every property before we quote, then a fixed-price quote.
We reply to enquiries from RM17 the same working day, and our emergency line is open 24/7.
Grays: If you commute from Grays station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed. Homes near St John the Evangelist are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File the paperwork with the manual
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
The work area is left tidy: dust sheets lifted, offcuts and packaging cleared, and the holes for the pipework sealed. Pipework outside is covered in trunking or insulated and neatly fixed as agreed on the survey.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Why it fails
Poor sleep is one of the most common reasons homeowners ask about air conditioning. An open window doesn’t always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, especially on a still night.
Look out for any of the following:
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
Pricing air conditioning in RM17
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- How easy the units are to reach
- The brand, model and parts involved
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Your installation or service records
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Common questions in RM17
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book, and we are happy to show ours.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
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 come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
