Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Somewhere like Burnt Heath, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.

About our air conditioning repair in Burnt Heath
Any repair we carry out in Burnt Heath starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. If the problem is weak airflow from the indoor unit and a unit that won’t start, we can help.
Around Burnt Heath, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What the work involves, system by system
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
Burnt Heath questions
Will you come out to Burnt Heath?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Burnt Heath for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Burnt Heath is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.

Owner checks or an engineer?
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
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.
When to call us in Burnt Heath
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. Common causes include sensors, wiring between the units and the circuit boards.
What we’re most often called about:
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- New noises from the system
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
