Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Charlton-on-Otmoor
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 doesn’t fix it, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. Typical jobs include water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a unit that barely blows any air, on multi-split systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.
A visit to Charlton-on-Otmoor is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A supply fault outside the property
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Charlton-on-Otmoor
Do you cover smaller places like Charlton-on-Otmoor?
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.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Charlton-on-Otmoor out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Charlton-on-Otmoor. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
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 use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Most of the time, we recommend replacement. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
Where a repair isn’t worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Don’t ignore early signs. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
