Air conditioning repair in Bow Common, done properly
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, which is why diagnosis comes first. The work covers heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and new noises from the system.
Many buildings in Bow Common have a managing agent or security desk, so tell us who controls access. Roof access can need keys or permits, which is worth sorting before the visit.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Common questions in Bow Common
Can you do air conditioning repair in Bow Common?
Yes. Bow Common is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Bow Common for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Bow Common. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Common problems we fix in Bow Common
Error codes are the system telling you it has found a fault. Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and the same code can have more than one cause, so we read the code and then test to confirm. Sensors, communication faults between the units and circuit boards are frequent culprits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
Schools such as St Paul's Way Trust School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
Why act early in Bow Common

It takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive, and you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Booking in spring means a home or office in Bow Common is ready before the first hot week.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749.
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. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
From one of our customers
“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.”
