Air conditioning repair across West Berkshire: what to expect

Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that does not fix it, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. Typical jobs include a unit that barely blows any air and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes, across multi-split systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.

We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.

  1. Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
  2. We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
  3. You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
  4. With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
  5. We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.

What affects the price in West Berkshire

Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

What the work involves, system by system

Circuit boards and sensors

Testing comes before any part is replaced, so you do not pay for a part that wasn’t the problem. Some parts need ordering from the manufacturer, and we tell you if so.

Refrigerant leaks

Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.

Why deal with it now?

R22 systems are a different case. R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system typically points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that’s the right answer.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
  • What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
  • Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
  • Whether the quote is a fixed price

How we price air conditioning repair

Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:

  • What state the existing equipment is in
  • The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
  • The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
  • A single visit or a regular plan

The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Before you get in touch

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
  • The address and the type of property
  • A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
  • A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number

Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Signs you need air conditioning repair

Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that is not level are the usual causes, and ice on the coil that melts can drip too.

Customers typically contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
  • A unit that won’t start
  • A unit that barely blows any air
  • Air conditioning running but not cooling

FAQs for West Berkshire

Will you make a mess?

We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.

When will I hear back?

You will hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

Do I get paperwork after the visit?

Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

What warranty do I get?

Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Do you cover West Berkshire?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes West Berkshire.

Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?

There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.
