- A unit blowing warm air
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
A returning symptom is worth reporting quickly. Describe what’s happening and any error code, and we will look into it.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that’s typically simpler than a breakdown repair.
Air conditioning repair in Crowthorne
Any repair we carry out in Crowthorne starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are a system that needs topping up again and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
Shops, offices and homes in Crowthorne all use the same basic kit: an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipes between them. A fault can be in any of them, which is why we test before we replace parts.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Crowthorne
Do you cover Crowthorne for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Crowthorne 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.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Crowthorne?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Crowthorne is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, and phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is normally the better answer. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
When to call us in Crowthorne
A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A system that needs topping up again
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Proof of F-Gas company certification

What else we do in Crowthorne
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Three things shape a visit in Crowthorne: parking, access to the outside of the building and when suits you.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
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 the repair is priced before work begins.
