Air conditioning repair in Chartham, done properly
Our emergency line runs 24/7 for urgent breakdowns, such as a server room overheating or water coming through a ceiling. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code and we will talk you through what happens next. If you’re dealing with a system that keeps cutting out and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units in a place like Chartham can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

How the job changes from property to property
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
Condensate drains and pumps
The drain is cleared, the pump tested and the fall checked until the condensate runs away properly. If a pump has failed, we replace it and test it before we leave.
Chartham: your questions answered
Is Chartham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Chartham for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Chartham. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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.
Why is not my air con cooling?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that does not fix it, ring 07833 053749.
The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Chartham so we arrive with what’s needed.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Chartham and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
