About our air conditioning servicing in Sholing
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. If you’re dealing with weaker cooling than last year and a service that’s overdue, we can help.
A yearly service suits most systems around Sholing, and regular servicing can be a condition of some manufacturers’ warranties.
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.

Air conditioning servicing in Sholing: the local picture
Sholing is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, rinsing and checking the outdoor coil for corrosion is an important part of every service. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Sholing, including Church of St Mary (grade II). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
For an office near Sholing station, servicing can be booked before or after working hours. Site managers at schools like St Monica Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes an hour or so for a single wall-mounted unit, longer for a multi-split system. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Sholing.
- 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.
- Temperatures and pressures tell us how the refrigerant circuit is doing, alongside checks on the wiring and controls.
- A service record follows, with any faults and the options for fixing them.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Sholing questions
Do you cover smaller places like Sholing?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning servicing in Sholing?
It can. Sholing is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. A yearly service that rinses and checks the outdoor coil matters more near the sea.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Will servicing keep my manufacturer’s warranty valid?
It depends on the brand. Some may have servicing conditions attached so it’s worth reading yours. We can explain the terms, and each visit is recorded.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Safe owner checks
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 escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Different systems, different jobs
Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule and each visit is recorded.
Fans and electrics
We test the controls, the modes and the timers to make sure the system responds properly.
For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
From one of our customers
“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.”
