Air conditioning repair in Charney Bassett, done properly
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If you are dealing with a flashing light and a system that won’t run and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can sort it out.
Around Charney Bassett, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Questions from Charney Bassett
Will you come out to Charney Bassett?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Charney Bassett?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Charney Bassett 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 can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It normally points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.

What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Charney Bassett.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
If you are not sure, just call 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- VRF systems
- Wall-mounted split systems

Pricing air conditioning repair in Charney Bassett
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What electrical work the job needs
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The address and the type of property
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
