Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Cricklewood
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers ceiling cassettes, heat pumps and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and a unit blowing warm air.
Air conditioning repairs in Cricklewood are often in flats, offices and shops, with outdoor units on balconies, rear walls or flat roofs. Knowing where the outdoor unit sits, and how to get to it, helps us plan the repair.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. In a London area like Cricklewood, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- How many units are involved
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. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you need air conditioning repair in Cricklewood?
When the fan runs but the air is not cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- A system that will not switch on
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
Near Cricklewood station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Cricklewood questions
Do you cover Cricklewood for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Cricklewood is within the area we cover. Just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Cricklewood?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Cricklewood. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that is not it, we’ll find the cause.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that is the answer.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.

System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that is not level can spill water too.
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
What a customer said
“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.”
