What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
About our air conditioning repair in Chidham
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. If the problem is a unit blowing warm air and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can help.
In a village like Chidham, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
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.

Chidham: your questions answered
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Chidham?
It can. Chidham is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Chidham out of hours?
Chidham is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, then ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re 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.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
What a repair looks like in Chidham
Chidham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corroded fins, fixings and electrical connections on outdoor units are more common near the sea, and they can cause faults. About 70% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 15 within half a mile of the centre, such as Middleton House (grade II*). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
If a system fails at a school such as Chidham Parochial Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.

How it works

- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
