Woking: your questions answered
Do you cover Woking for air conditioning servicing?
We do: Woking falls inside our working area. To start, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few photos.
How often should air conditioning in Woking be serviced?
Once a year suits most home systems. Larger systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more also need a leak check at least every 12 months under the F-gas rules.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
What’s included in an air conditioning service?
Both the indoor and outdoor units are checked and cleaned: the filters, coils, drain and fans, followed by the wiring, controls and refrigerant performance. You get a record of the visit.
Do you do service contracts for air con?
Yes. With a contract, the frequency and the scope of each visit are written down, at a fixed price agreed with your quote. It takes the scheduling off your plate.
Is an F-gas leak check a legal requirement for my system?
The rules are based on tCO2e, which comes from the refrigerant charge and its GWP. At 5 to under 50 tCO2e, it’s at least every 12 months; at 50 to under 500 tCO2e, every 6 months. Hermetically sealed systems holding less than 10 tCO2e do not need them.
Air conditioning servicing in Woking, done properly
A service is as much a check-up as a clean. The engineer checks fans, pipe insulation, controls and electrical connections, then explains anything that looks like it could cause a problem later. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are an unpleasant odour when the system runs and ice forming on the pipework or outdoor unit.
Business systems in Woking often need F-gas leak checks, at least once a year for 5 to under 50 tonnes CO2 equivalent, and we can combine that with the service.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.
Do you need air conditioning servicing in Woking?
The outdoor unit lives outside. Leaves, dirt and debris collect on the coil and around the casing and that restricts the airflow it relies on.
Customers normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Drips or damp patches below an indoor unit
- Leak check records that need bringing up to date
- A service that is overdue
Site managers at schools like Goldsworth Primary School can have the site’s units serviced during a holiday.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Installation faults that need reworking
- A system that’s too small for the room it serves
- A system short of gas because of a leak
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Multi-split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems

Air conditioning servicing in Woking: the local picture
The Basingstoke Canal Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Woking, within about a third of a mile. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Woking and it takes in 6 conservation areas. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 9 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade II*). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 30% of homes in Woking and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 45% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit.
Businesses close to Woking station can book an early or late slot so the service doesn’t get in the way of trade.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a short visit for one split system, longer for multi-split, ducted or commercial plant. Town-centre streets in a place like Woking can be tight, so tell us the parking options.
- It begins with a few questions about the make, the rooms served and any symptoms.
- The indoor units are opened up and the filters, coils and drain trays cleaned.
- Outside, the coil is cleaned, the fan checked and the area cleared.
- Electrical connections, controls and refrigerant performance are tested.
- We explain what we found and price any repair before it’s done.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Know your manufacturer’s servicing conditions
- Report drips, smells or noises early
- Diary the next service before this one is forgotten
If we find a fault, we explain it and give you a price to put it right. Nothing extra is done without your say-so, so you stay in control of the cost.
An annual service is the simplest routine to keep to with extra visits where the system runs constantly or needs more frequent leak checks.
From one of our customers
“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.”
