Signs you need air conditioning repair in Boughton Malherbe
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A unit blowing warm air
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

How we handle air conditioning repair in Boughton Malherbe
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. If you’re dealing with an error code or flashing light on the unit and poor airflow even with clean filters, we can help.
A visit to Boughton Malherbe is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Do you cover Boughton Malherbe for air conditioning repair?
We do: Boughton Malherbe falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on what’s involved, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that does not fix it, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Related advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
