Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
Air conditioning repair in Childrey, done properly
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. If you’re dealing with water dripping from the indoor unit and air conditioning running but not cooling, we can help.

Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
If a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Small changes are worth acting on. 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.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think.

Air conditioning repair in Childrey: the local picture
VOA council tax data show about 31% of homes across Childrey and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The centre of Childrey lies within the Childrey Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 29 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Childrey; Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. For a school like The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays.

Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
In most cases, it’s the condensate system: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
