Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code and we’ll talk you through what happens next. If you’re dealing with weak airflow from the indoor unit and an error code or flashing light on the unit, we can sort it out.

Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
You get a note of the fault and what we did: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Use the system sensibly. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
The drain is cleared, the pump tested and the fall checked, so the water goes where it should. Failed pumps are replaced and tested before we go.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Air conditioning repair in Alresford: the local picture
Alresford lies within about 2 miles of the sea. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. About 40% of homes across Alresford and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 89% 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. On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Alresford; Church Farmhouse (grade II) is one. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
For a school like Alresford Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Alresford?
Water dripping from an indoor unit is usually about the condensate. The drain may be blocked or kinked, the condensate pump may have failed, or the unit may not be level, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
- A suspected refrigerant leak
Shops and offices around Alresford station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.

Questions from Alresford
Is Alresford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Alresford out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Alresford. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. Most of the time, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It usually points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and ring 07833 053749 or email us.
