FAQs for Chiddingstone Causeway
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Chiddingstone Causeway out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Chiddingstone Causeway. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Do you cover Chiddingstone Causeway for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Chiddingstone Causeway is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we’ll give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.

After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Have the system serviced once a year
If a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, and explain why. We can quote for a replacement system on the same visit where that’s the better answer.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749.
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. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Visits to Chiddingstone Causeway are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

System by system
VRF systems
In a VRF system, many indoor units share outdoor plant. Faults are diagnosed through the system’s own fault codes and controls, then confirmed by testing, and repairs are priced before they go ahead.
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. That is why we repair the leak first.
