Signs you need air conditioning repair in Farnborough
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. It typically points to poor airflow, such as a clogged filter or a fan problem, or to a refrigerant leak. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- New noises from the system
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
Near Farnborough Main station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Air conditioning repair in Farnborough
Across Farnborough, every repair begins with a diagnosis: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. If you’re dealing with a system that won’t switch on and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes, we can help.
Whether it’s a shop or a house in Farnborough, the system is an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipework and wiring that join them. A fault can be in any of them, so testing comes before any new parts.
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.

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.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Access to the outdoor unit position is the main thing to tell us about in Farnborough.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.

What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Farnborough?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Is Farnborough in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Farnborough is one of the places we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
