About our air conditioning repair in Farnborough
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, which is why diagnosis comes first. Typical jobs include a unit that won’t start and weak airflow from the indoor unit, on heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.
Outdoor units in a place like Farnborough can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

FAQs for Farnborough
Do you cover Farnborough for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Farnborough is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Will you come out to Farnborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we’ll diagnose the fault on site.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Different systems, different jobs
Fans and compressors
Fan motors and bearings wear over time, and the first sign is often noise or weak airflow. Indoor and outdoor fan motors can normally be replaced, depending on parts availability.
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. We plan the trip to Farnborough around you.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a price
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
What air conditioning won’t do
Air conditioning repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is normally the answer)
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
- An old system with obsolete parts
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Air conditioning repair in Farnborough: the local picture
The middle of Farnborough is part of the Farnborough Conservation Area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 9 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of All Saints (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

When to call us in Farnborough
An error code is the unit’s own diagnosis, in shorthand. Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and the same code can have more than one cause so the code is a starting point, not the answer. Sensors, communication faults between the units and circuit boards are frequent culprits.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
Many breakdowns start small, with a drip, a smell or a unit that takes longer to cool.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
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.”
