Air Conditioning Servicing in Faversham
We cover Faversham for annual servicing and F-Gas leak checks for domestic and commercial air conditioning. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.

- Smells coming from the indoor unit

Air conditioning servicing in Faversham, done properly
An annual service is £95–£150 + VAT, confirmed before the visit is booked. Larger systems with several indoor units, ducted units or commercial plant are priced on their details. Either way, you know the cost before the engineer arrives. We’re often asked to deal with weaker cooling than last year and an unpleasant odour when the system runs, across air-to-air heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
If your system in Faversham smells musty, drips or has lost some of its cooling, a service is often the first fix, and if it finds a fault, we explain it and price the repair.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes anything from an hour for a simple split system to most of a day for a larger installation. Shops and offices in Faversham can usually stay open while we work, or we come after hours.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- Inside, the filters, coil and drain tray of each indoor unit are cleaned.
- The outdoor unit gets its own clean, with leaves and debris cleared away.
- We test the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing.
- Anything we find is explained, with a fixed price if it needs a repair.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Do you need air conditioning servicing in Faversham?
Systems that run most of the year collect dirt faster than ones used on a few hot days. Heat pumps used for winter heating and units in busy offices, shops or kitchens get through a lot of air, and they benefit from regular attention.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Smells coming from the indoor unit
- New noises from the indoor or outdoor unit
- Condensate leaking into the room
For an office near Faversham station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours.

FAQs for Faversham
Does my air con in Faversham need a yearly service?
For most homes, once a year. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Faversham?
It can, as Faversham is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Are you F-Gas certified?
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.
Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for 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. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
