What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
F-gas leak checks are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, at least yearly up to 50 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.
Condensate drains and pumps
Cooling pulls moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away. The tray is cleaned and the pipe flushed through so the water has a clear path out.
Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Faringdon
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain, check the electrics and controls, and look at how the refrigerant circuit is performing. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Faringdon and the rest of Oxfordshire, for most leading brands. If the problem is F-gas leak checks falling due and a musty or damp smell when the unit starts, we can help.
A service around Faringdon is booked to suit you, and a single system usually takes an hour or two.
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 so it’s to hand next time.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Hold on to every service report
- Shut doors to the room so the system is not cooling the whole house
- Check the condensate pipe outside isn’t blocked or crushed
Where the system needs F-gas leak checks, the result is recorded, and the next check is due within the period the rules set. We can diary it for you.
Act on the early signs. A new noise, a faint smell or a drip is easier to deal with early than after a breakdown.
Your questions about air conditioning servicing in Faringdon
Does my air con in Faringdon need a yearly service?
Usually once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Some manufacturers’ warranty terms ask for regular servicing, so it’s worth keeping the records.
Will you come out to Faringdon?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Can I have a maintenance contract for my air conditioning?
Yes, and the schedule is set around your system. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after each visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Faringdon and across Oxfordshire. Let us know who the records should go to.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Faringdon.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- The engineer switches the system on and checks how it behaves before taking anything apart.
- Dust and grime come off the filters and coils, and the drain is flushed so water runs away properly.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. 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.

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.”
