Keeping systems in Wokingham running
Central Wokingham is inside a conservation area. About 17 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Wokingham, Church of St Paul (grade II*) among them. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. The last census (2021) found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Offices and shops near Wokingham station can have their systems serviced without closing. Schools such as Walter Infant School can book servicing for half term or the summer break, when rooms are empty.

Air conditioning servicing in Wokingham
For an annual service, the price 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 are often asked to deal with condensate leaking into the room and leak check records that need bringing up to date, across wall-mounted split systems, air-to-air heat pumps and ducted systems.
Many business systems in Wokingham fall under the F-gas leak check rules, at least once a year for 5 to under 50 tonnes CO2 equivalent, which can be done at the same visit as the service.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.
System by system
Maintenance contracts
For businesses, a contract keeps servicing and any required leak checks on schedule and each visit is recorded.
Condensate drains and pumps
Cooling pulls moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away. We clean the drain tray and clear the pipe so it flows properly.

What else we do in Wokingham
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes around an hour for one indoor and one outdoor unit, with extra time for each additional indoor unit, and we tidy up before we leave. Work at a business in Wokingham can be split over a few visits so you keep trading.
- A date is fixed and the service price confirmed in advance.
- We switch the system on and check it in operation.
- Then the cleaning: filters, coils, fan and the drain line.
- We check the wiring, controls and refrigerant circuit, and leak check systems that need it.
- It’s run once more to confirm all is well, and the record is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Heat gains the system was never sized for
- A system short of gas because of a leak
- Cooling capacity that does not match the space
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
FAQs for Wokingham
Does my air con in Wokingham need a yearly service?
Typically once a year for homes, more often for busy business systems. Check your manufacturer’s warranty terms too, as some of them make regular servicing a condition.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning servicing in Wokingham?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
