Air conditioning servicing in Up Somborne
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, and tells you about anything that looks like it’s heading for trouble. The work covers VRF systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are frost or ice on the refrigerant pipes and noisy fans or rattling from the outdoor unit.
Several units at a home near Up Somborne can be serviced in one visit, which keeps it simple.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Up Somborne: your questions answered
Is Up Somborne in your area for air conditioning servicing?
Yes. Up Somborne is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How often do you service systems in Up Somborne?
A yearly visit is right for most households. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant performance and leak checks
tCO2e is the refrigerant charge in kg multiplied by its global warming potential, divided by 1,000. So 3 kg of R32 is roughly 2.0 tCO2e, and the same amount of R410A is roughly 6.3 tCO2e. We check the label on your system and tell you where it sits.
Filters
A clogged filter cuts the airflow through the unit. That makes it harder for the system to reach the temperature you’ve set, which is why filters are always part of the service.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Up Somborne.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Filters, coils, fans and drains are cleaned and cleared.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- We run the system again and leave you a service record.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

What a service looks like in Up Somborne
VOA council tax data date about 47% of homes in the Up Somborne area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 72% 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. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 12 within half a mile of the centre, such as Rookley House (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t 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. A musty smell from the indoor unit is often a sign it needs a service.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.
Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What a customer said
“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.”
