Your questions about air conditioning repair in Barnes Street
Is Barnes Street within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Barnes Street for air conditioning repair?
We do: Barnes Street falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.

Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?

- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you are happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
Before you call an engineer
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Don’t 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
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
