About air conditioning repair in Wokingham
Refrigerant does not get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. We’re often asked to deal with a fault code on the display and a unit that barely blows any air, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
How we quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air conditioning repair across Wokingham: local notes
Across Wokingham, the common faults are blocked filters and drains, leaks and failed fans or sensors.
Wokingham is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. One phone number covers all of it.
Reading: If your system near Reading West station stops in a hot spell, our 24/7 line is open. Schools such as Coley Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
Why act early?
The rules on refrigerant affect repairs. R410A systems can still be repaired legally, though the GB phase-down is making R410A harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.

Signs you need air conditioning repair
Noises typically have a mechanical cause. Worn fan bearings, loose panels, debris in the outdoor fan or pipework vibrating against the building are common, and some noises point to the compressor.
Look out for any of the following:
- A unit that will not start
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- Air conditioning running but not cooling

Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
FAQs for Wokingham
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 when we finish.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you offer an emergency repair service?
Yes, day and night. Urgent cases include water leaking through a ceiling or a server or comms room overheating, and we will advise on what to do right away. The number is 07833 053749.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
