Most air conditioning manufacturers require annual servicing by a qualified engineer to keep their extended warranty valid. Missing a service — or having one carried out by an unqualified person — can void your right to claim when a component fails. We carry out warranty-compliant annual services for all major brands and provide the documentation you need to support a warranty claim.
Homeowners and businesses across Leicester trust Elite Cooling & Heating to keep their AC warranties valid.
Air conditioning warranties are more conditional than most people realise. While manufacturers offer extended warranties of up to 5 or 7 years on compressors and parts, the small print almost always requires annual servicing by a qualified engineer to keep that warranty active. It also typically requires that the system was installed by a qualified installer, that F-Gas regulations were followed from day one, and that any refrigerant work was carried out by F-Gas certified engineers.
When a component fails and a warranty claim is made, manufacturers check the service history. If there is no evidence of annual servicing — or if the service was carried out by someone without the appropriate qualifications — the claim is declined. Given that compressor replacement on a domestic system can cost £800–£1,500 and full system replacement considerably more, the cost of annual servicing is a small investment to protect a potentially large claim.
We provide a written service certificate after every service that records the date, the work carried out, the engineer's name and qualification, the F-Gas records, and the system's operating condition. This certificate is accepted by all major manufacturers as evidence of compliant annual servicing.
If you have missed one or more annual services, the best course of action is to book a service now and rebuild your service record from this point. While a retrospective service cannot reverse the lapse, an up-to-date service record significantly strengthens your position if a future warranty claim is disputed. Contact us to discuss your situation and we will advise honestly on where you stand.

Most do, particularly for the extended warranty period beyond the standard first-year warranty. Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung, Toshiba and Fujitsu all require annual servicing by a qualified engineer to activate and maintain their extended warranties. We recommend checking your specific warranty documentation and contacting us if you are unsure what is required.
No. Warranty conditions require annual servicing by a qualified engineer — they do not require it to be the original installer. We service systems installed by any company and provide service certificates that meet manufacturer requirements.
We provide a written service certificate recording: the date of service, the system make and model, the work carried out, the engineer's name and F-Gas certification number, the refrigerant circuit pressure readings, and the next recommended service date. This documentation meets the evidence requirements of all major manufacturers for warranty purposes.
If your system has a fault within the warranty period and you have a valid annual service record, you should make a claim directly to the manufacturer or the original installing company (if they are still trading). We can carry out the repair work and provide supporting documentation for your claim — contact us to discuss your specific situation.
