Air conditioning servicing in Farthingloe
Whether a leak check is required depends on how much refrigerant the system holds and which refrigerant it is. GOV.UK sets the frequency by the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e): at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e. We tell you which band your system falls into and carry out the checks it needs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are water dripping from the indoor unit and new noises from the indoor or outdoor unit.
For a home in or near Farthingloe, a service once a year suits most systems, best done before summer.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Keeping systems in Farthingloe running
Farthingloe 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. Census 2021 figures found about 77% 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. Farthingloe’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more. Schools such as Aycliffe Community Primary School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Farthingloe can be planned properly.
- We start with the basics, such as the brand, the number of indoor units and any symptoms.
- On arrival, a quick performance check shows how well it’s working before the clean.
- Filters, coils and the condensate drain are cleaned and cleared.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- We leave you a record of the service and explain anything we found.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

What owners can safely do
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Clean the filters between services, as the manual describes
- Keep to an annual service, or more often if needed
- Keep doors and windows closed while the system is cooling
Once we have gone, use the system as normal and see how it performs. If you notice anything unusual, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll talk it through.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, garden waste, bins and climbing plants all restrict the airflow, so clear them back.
Farthingloe: your questions answered
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Farthingloe?
It can. Farthingloe 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.
Does my air con in Farthingloe need a yearly service?
Normally once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Business systems may also need F-gas leak checks, at least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Do you work on all makes?
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.
Do you offer air conditioning maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned to suit how hard the system works. The price is fixed with your quote and you get a record after every visit.
What does an air con service involve?
We clean the filters and coils, clear the condensate drain and check the fans. The electrics, controls and refrigerant circuit are tested too, with an F-gas leak check where the system requires one.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
It depends on the system’s tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e). From 5 to under 50 tCO2e, leak checks are required at least every 12 months, and from 50 to under 500 tCO2e every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems under 10 tCO2e are exempt.

“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.”
