Air conditioning repair for Aldborough Hatch

The process

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Aldborough Hatch before visiting.

  1. Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
  2. Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
  3. If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
  4. The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
  5. Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.

Before we arrive

  • Clear a path to the units and the space around them
  • Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
  • Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Air conditioning repair in Aldborough Hatch, done properly

We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guessing is expensive, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. If the problem is an error code or flashing light on the unit and a system that needs topping up again, we can sort it out.

In a managed building in Aldborough Hatch, the repair may need booking through the agent or building manager, so let us know who needs to know we’re coming. Outdoor units on roofs may need a key, a permit or an escort, and we plan for that before we arrive.

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.

Air conditioning repair in Aldborough Hatch: the local picture

Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Aldborough Hatch?

A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.

If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
  • Drips from the indoor unit
  • Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises

The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What records you get at the end
  • Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
  • Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning

Questions to ask before booking

Aldborough Hatch: your questions answered

Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Aldborough Hatch?

Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. Where pictures are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.

Can you do air conditioning repair in Aldborough Hatch?

Yes, Aldborough Hatch is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?

Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?

No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.

What does F-Gas certified mean?

Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.

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. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?

Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us

Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.

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.”
