Cripp's Corner: your questions answered
Do you cover Cripp's Corner for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Cripp's Corner is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Is Cripp's Corner within the area you cover?
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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, then call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Air conditioning repair in Cripp's Corner, done properly
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It does not matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. We’re often asked to deal with air conditioning running but not cooling and a system that keeps cutting out, across VRF systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Outdoor units in a place like Cripp's Corner can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What else we do in Cripp's Corner
When to call us in Cripp's Corner
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
These are the situations we see most often:
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- A system that won’t switch on
- Frost on the pipework
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is normally the answer)
- A supply fault outside the property
- A building problem rather than a system fault
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We plan the trip to Cripp's Corner around you.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

What affects the quote in Cripp's Corner
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
