Borden: your questions answered
Do you cover Borden for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Borden. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Is Borden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. Most of the time, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
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.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak usually means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Borden
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 doesn’t fix it, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If you are dealing with an error code or flashing light on the unit and a unit that has lost refrigerant, we can help.
Around Borden, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. For a village like Borden, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.
Wall-mounted split systems
On a wall-mounted split, the indoor and outdoor units talk to each other through a control cable. Communication faults show up as error codes, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
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 can work for either side.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
