Air conditioning servicing in Farnborough: the local picture
Farnborough’s centre falls inside the Farnborough Conservation Area. Church of All Saints, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 9 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Farnborough’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
A service once a year suits most home systems, and some business systems need more.

Air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Farnborough
Servicing is also a chance to spot faults early. We listen to the fans, look at the pipework and insulation, test the controls and check the electrical connections are sound, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a musty or damp smell when the unit starts and a system that struggles to cool on warm days.
For a home in or near Farnborough, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning servicing will not do:
- A system short of gas because of a leak
- Rooms that gain heat faster than any unit could cope with
- Poor original installation, such as drains without a proper fall
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Questions from Farnborough
Can you do air conditioning servicing in Farnborough?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Farnborough is part of that. Just call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Does my air con in Farnborough need a yearly service?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
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.
Does the manufacturer’s warranty require regular servicing?
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms. Check your brand’s conditions, which may mention servicing and file every service record.
How long will the engineer be here for the service?
Expect it to take anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Access and the number of units decide most of the time so we will confirm the time when we book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Farnborough?
The indoor coil is cold and wet when the system is cooling. Dust sticks to a wet surface, and over time the coil and drain tray can get dirty enough to smell.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
A musty smell from the indoor unit is often a sign it needs a service.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Farnborough.
- First we take the details: brand, model if you have it, how many indoor units and anything that’s been bothering you.
- The system is run and checked before anything is opened up.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Next come the terminals, the controller and the refrigerant side, with a leak check if the system’s size makes one a legal duty.
- Before leaving, the engineer writes up the visit and talks you through anything worth knowing.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
