Air conditioning repair in Brighton and Hove, done properly
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. If the problem is air conditioning running but not cooling and a unit that barely blows any air, we can help.
Shops, offices and homes in Brighton and Hove all use the same basic kit: an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipes between them. The fault can be at either end, or in between, which is why we test before we replace parts.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Brighton and Hove questions
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Brighton and Hove?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Brighton and Hove. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you cover Brighton and Hove for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Brighton and Hove is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When we’ve found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the job, but most of the time 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.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

Pricing air conditioning repair in Brighton and Hove
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the units are to reach
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- No power to the building at all
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think before you book.

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.”
