Maintenance contracts
We tailor the schedule to how hard the system works so it fits your site.
Air conditioning servicing in Farningham, done properly
An air conditioning service is a check and clean of the whole system, indoor and outdoor units together. Filters and coils are cleaned, the drain is cleared, and the electrics, controls and refrigerant performance are all checked. We carry out air conditioning servicing for homes and businesses in Farningham and the rest of Kent, for most leading brands. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are iced-up coils or pipework and condensate leaking into the room.
Most systems around Farningham need servicing once a year, ideally in spring before the warm weather.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep the drain outlet clear
- Read the warranty conditions for your brand
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. Nothing extra is done without your say-so and the decision is always yours.
Check that the condensate pipe outside can still drain. If the outlet is blocked, the water has to go somewhere, and that is normally back towards the indoor unit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Farningham
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Common questions in Farningham
Will you come out to Farningham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How often should air conditioning in Farningham be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
What do you check on an air conditioning service?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. We also check the electrical connections, the controls and the refrigerant performance plus a leak check on systems that need one.
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’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Who is responsible for 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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

- The engineer runs the system and checks how it’s performing.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
