How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. For a place like Addington, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

What else we do in Addington
Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
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 refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention and point out anything else we spotted.
Clean the filters regularly. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
Air conditioning repairs in Addington: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 31% of homes in and around Addington were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 65% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. In the mile around Addington’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 10 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Margaret (grade I). 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.
If a system fails at a school such as Offham Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

Addington questions
Is Addington in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Addington is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Addington for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Addington. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Who is responsible for 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.
How long does the work take?
On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Addington
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 arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Addington and across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
