About our air conditioning repair in Berkhamsted
Refrigerant does not get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers ducted systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are a fault code on the display and water dripping from the indoor unit.
For a repair in Berkhamsted, a photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label is a great start. We can then see the make, model and refrigerant, which helps us plan.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

When it’s something else
Air conditioning repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the quote in Berkhamsted
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- How many units are involved
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Before you get in touch
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Common questions in Berkhamsted
Can you do air conditioning repair in Berkhamsted?
We do: Berkhamsted falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Berkhamsted?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Berkhamsted is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Photos of an existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing in Berkhamsted.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- 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
How to get a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
