Air conditioning servicing in Little Somborne, done properly
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 work out where your system sits and check it accordingly. Common call-outs are for ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit and systems that need a 6 or 12-monthly leak check, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and air-to-air heat pumps.
Most systems around Little Somborne need servicing once a year, best done before summer.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Common problems we fix in Little Somborne
Condensate has to drain away from every indoor unit. Debris in the tray or a sticky pump can stop it draining and the result is drips from the indoor unit.
Customers usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Systems that haven’t been serviced for a while
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Humming, rattling or squealing from the system
Most homes book one service a year; busy offices and shops may want more.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Little Somborne can be planned properly.
- We book a time that suits you and confirm the price.
- Before any cleaning, the system is run so we can see how it behaves.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- Electrical and refrigerant checks follow, including a leak check if the rules require one.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Common questions in Little Somborne
Is Little Somborne within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How often do you service systems in Little Somborne?
Usually 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.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
The service covers the indoor units and the outdoor unit: filters, coils, drains and fans, then the electrics, the controls and how the refrigerant circuit is performing. A service record follows.
Does my air conditioning need an F-gas leak check?
The GOV.UK rules set leak checks at least every 12 months for 5 to under 50 tCO2e and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e. With leak detection fitted, the interval can be doubled, and we can tell you where your system sits.
Do you top up refrigerant during a service?
Refrigerant is only added after the leak that caused the loss has been dealt with. Adding gas without a repair just lets it leak away again, so we do not recommend it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
System by system
Wall-mounted, ducted and cassette units
With a ducted system, the unit is hidden above the ceiling. We need access to the unit, its filters and its drain, so let us know where the hatch is.
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers so you know it does what you ask.
Keeping systems in Little Somborne running
About 37% of homes across Little Somborne and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 83% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Little Somborne, including Church of All Saints (grade II*). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
A musty smell from the indoor unit is often a sign it needs a service.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Little Somborne
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
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 can work for either side.
