Do you need air conditioning repair in Broadford?
Water dripping from an indoor unit is typically about the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that is not level are the usual causes, and ice on the coil that melts can drip too.
What we’re most often called about:
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- New noises from the system
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
If your system near Shalford station stops in a hot spell, our 24/7 line is open.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Book an annual service after the repair
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention and point out anything else we spotted.
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.

Common questions in Broadford
Will you come out to Broadford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Broadford out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Broadford is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Broadford.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. 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.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
