How we handle air conditioning repair in Brighton
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that does not fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us. We reply to enquiries the same working day. The work covers multi-split systems, heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about water dripping from the indoor unit and a unit that barely blows any air.
For a shop or office in Brighton, a system that stops in a heatwave is a real problem. Our 24/7 emergency line takes calls at any time, with repair call-outs from £75 + VAT.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Common questions in Brighton
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Brighton?
It can. Brighton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Do you cover Brighton for air conditioning repair?
We do: Brighton falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is normally the better answer. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Book an annual service after the repair
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. We don’t promise dates we can’t control and we’ll keep you updated.
Clean the filters regularly. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. In Brighton, we plan business installs and repairs around opening times.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a quote
For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and tell us about the property and what you need. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Air conditioning repair in Brighton: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Brighton. Coastal outdoor units can suffer from corroded coils and terminals, which can lead to poor cooling or trips. About 66% of homes in Brighton and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 58% of households live in flats. In flats, outdoor units are often on balconies, roofs or high walls, so tell us how we reach yours. Brighton’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Valley Gardens Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Brighton and it takes in 11 conservation areas. About 78 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Brighton, Church of St Bartholomew (grade I) among them. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Shops and offices around London Road (Brighton) station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for. For a school like Fairlight Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on

Why it’s worth doing now in Brighton
R22 systems are a different case. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 is not allowed, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system typically points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that’s the right answer. Getting the work booked early in Brighton avoids the busiest weeks.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
