About our air conditioning repair in Cubitt Town

A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and write it up in the F-Gas records. If you are dealing with ice on the pipework or the coil and new noises from the system, we can sort it out.

In Cubitt Town, as across London, air conditioning works hard in hot spells, which is when weak cooling, leaks and error codes tend to appear. A photo of the error code and the unit’s label helps us arrive with the right parts in mind.

Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Cubitt Town?

Rattles, buzzes and grinding sounds tend to be mechanical. Fan bearings, loose casing, leaves or debris in the outdoor unit and vibrating pipework are typical causes, and some noises point to the compressor.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A system that won’t switch on
  • Ice on the pipework or the coil
  • Weak airflow from the indoor unit

For a school like Cubitt Town Infants' School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.

Before booking anyone

  • What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
  • If the figure could change on the day
  • What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards

How to choose an air conditioning engineer

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
  • A supply fault outside the property
  • Heat gains the system was never designed for

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on in Cubitt Town

  • Heat pumps
  • Multi-split systems
  • Ceiling cassettes
  • VRF systems
  • Ducted systems
  • Wall-mounted split systems

Looking after your system

Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
  • Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
  • Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips

After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We check it’s cooling or heating as it should and that the fault hasn’t left anything else behind and point out anything else we spotted.

Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Cubitt Town

Is Cubitt Town in your area for air conditioning repair?

We do: Cubitt Town falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover Cubitt Town for emergency air conditioning repairs?

Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Cubitt Town. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.

How long does the visit take?

It depends on the job, but most of the time it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We will confirm it with the quote.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.

Can landlords and managing agents book you?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Do you work on all makes?

The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.

Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?

The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.

How it works

Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Cubitt Town.

  1. We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
  2. A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
  3. We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
  4. With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
  5. The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
  • Keep pets and children away from the work area
  • Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Getting a price

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
