About our air conditioning repair in Dungate
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. Typical jobs include an error code or flashing light on the unit and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes, on multi-split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
We plan the trip to Dungate so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts, and we tidy up before we leave. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Dungate.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
Air conditioning repair in Dungate: the local picture
The last census (2021) found about 81% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Dungate House (grade II). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
If a system fails at a school such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

How we price air conditioning repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A leak on an old R22 system
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Ceiling cassettes
- Heat pumps
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
When to call us in Dungate
Some faults stop the unit completely: fan motors, boards, interconnecting cables and tripped breakers. A breaker that trips a second time should be left off until an engineer has looked at it.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected

Dungate: your questions answered

My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, and call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What does an air con repair cost?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
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.”
