Air conditioning repair for Cowey Green

How the job changes from property to property

Multi-split systems

With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.

Condensate drains and pumps

Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that is not level can spill water too.

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Cowey Green

Any repair we carry out in Cowey Green starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. If the problem is air conditioning running but not cooling and weak airflow from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.

Around Cowey Green, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning repair in Cowey Green

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The brand, model and parts involved
  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • Whether the existing supply is suitable

One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

What to send for a quote

Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • The remote or wall controller showing any error
  • The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
  • Your consumer unit or fuse board

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a place like Cowey Green, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
  2. The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
  3. We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
  4. With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
  5. We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is

How to get a quote

Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?

Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Switch the unit off and ring 07833 053749 or send an email.

Who is responsible for leak checks?

Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

Will skipping a service affect the warranty?

Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

Is the equipment covered by a warranty?

The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?

We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
