Common problems we fix in Crawley

Look out for these signs:
- A fault code on the display
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A unit that barely blows any air
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

About our 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, which is why diagnosis comes first. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
In a village like Crawley, 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.
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.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. We do not promise dates we cannot control and we’ll keep you updated.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Crawley can be planned properly.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- 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.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Advice
Nearby places to Crawley
Also in Crawley
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted and cassette systems
With ducted and cassette units, most of the system is hidden in the ceiling and access is part of the job. Many have condensate pumps, and pump failures are a common cause of ceiling leaks.
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. Each run is checked, then repair, pressure test and recharge.
Crawley questions
Is Crawley within the area you cover?

Is Crawley in your area for air conditioning repair?

Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
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.
