The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Farlington.
- First, we agree a time and confirm the cost of the service.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- We clean the filters, coils and fans and clear the condensate drain.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- A final test run follows, then you get the service record.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Keeping systems in Farlington running
Farlington is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. About 40% of homes in the Farlington area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Historic England lists about 8 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Farlington, including Fort Purbrook (grade II*). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.
Site managers at schools like Solent Infant School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Questions from Farlington
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Farlington?
It can. Farlington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Regular servicing, with the outdoor coil cleaned and checked, helps a coastal system last.
Do you cover smaller places like Farlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
At least once a year is a sensible routine for most systems. Systems that work hard, such as those used for heating or in busy workplaces, may benefit from more frequent visits, and your manufacturer’s terms may set their own expectations.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Will you regas my air conditioning on a service?
A regas is a separate job, done once a leak has been found and fixed. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we don’t recommend it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
For landlords and property managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Signs you need air conditioning servicing in Farlington
Small refrigerant leaks don’t announce themselves. Performance drops slowly, until it can’t keep up on the hottest or coldest days.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Condensate leaking into the room
- A system that struggles to cool on warm days
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you get at the end
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
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.”
