- Drips from the indoor unit
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Work in Compton is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

About our air conditioning repair in Compton
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that does not fix it, call 07833 053749. We reply to enquiries the same working day. Common call-outs are for a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and a unit that has lost refrigerant, on ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and heat pumps.
A visit to Compton is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

FAQs for Compton
Do you cover smaller places like Compton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Compton?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Compton. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is normally the better answer. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Why act early in Compton
Running with a fault wastes electricity. Poor airflow or low refrigerant means more running time for less effect and the extra work wears the parts faster. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we are called out for in Compton
Water dripping from an indoor unit is usually about the condensate. The drain may be blocked or kinked, the condensate pump may have failed, or the unit may not be level, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Look out for these signs:
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Air conditioning repairs in Compton: local notes
The last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Compton’s centre falls inside the Compton Conservation Area. In the mile around Compton’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. About 19 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Compton, The Parish Church of St Mary (grade II*) among them. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
If a system fails at a school such as Compton and Up Marden CofE Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

What else we do in Compton
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

- A discontinued model with no parts available
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
