About our air conditioning repair in Adur
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It does not matter who installed it, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about drips from the indoor unit and a fault code on the display.
Outdoor units in a place like Adur can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
How we price air conditioning repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
When air con fails in Adur
The coast is only about 2 miles from Adur. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. Census 2021 figures found about 71% 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.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

FAQs for Adur
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Adur?
It can. Adur is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Adur out of hours?
Adur is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. 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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Visits to Adur are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about parking and loading
