Darby Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Darby Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Darby Green out of hours?
Darby Green is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.

System by system
Fans and compressors
Fan motors and bearings wear over time, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. A worn fan motor can typically be replaced where the parts are available.
Ducted and cassette systems
With ducted and cassette units, most of the system is hidden in the ceiling and access is part of the job. Condensate pumps are common on both, and a failed pump is a frequent cause of water leaks.

The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. For a village like Darby Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

About 55% of homes in and around Darby Green date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Central Darby Green is inside a conservation area. About 7 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Darby Green, Pond Cottage (grade II) among them. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts. If a system fails at a school such as Potley Hill Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Honest limits
Air conditioning repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
