Air conditioning repair in Crawley
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, so we diagnose before we repair. We are often asked to deal with weak airflow from the indoor unit and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, across ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and heat pumps.
Outdoor units in a place like Crawley can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Use the system sensibly. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it is not running flat out all day.

Let and managed properties
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Why deal with it now?
Faults don’t fix themselves. A fault ignored in spring is still there in summer, so it’s worth having it diagnosed while you can plan the repair. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.

What a repair looks like in Crawley
Crawley’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Crawley Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 22 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Crawley, including Church of St Mary (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. The last census (2021) found about 75% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts. Dirty filters and blocked drains cause more faults than people expect.

Common questions in Crawley
Do you cover smaller places like Crawley?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Crawley for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Crawley is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Crawley, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749.
