Your questions about air conditioning repair in Cross in Hand
Do you cover Cross in Hand for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Cross in Hand is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Is Cross in Hand within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
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, so we explain the terms on your quote.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.

What air conditioning repair cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will say what we think before you book.

- Ceiling cassettes
System by system
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.
VRF systems
In a VRF system, many indoor units share outdoor plant. We use the system’s fault history and codes, then test to confirm, and repairs are priced before they go ahead.
From one of our customers
“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.”
