About our air conditioning repair in Durrants
Any repair we carry out in Durrants starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. Typical jobs include a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and poor airflow even with clean filters, on heat pumps, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Outdoor units in a place like Durrants can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t 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. Visits to Durrants are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

When the fan runs but the air isn’t cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Testing tells us which.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
Shops and offices around Rowlands Castle station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.
What your quote should include
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
FAQs for Durrants
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Durrants?
It can. Durrants is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Durrants?
Durrants is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Typically a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
After we have gone
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips and the manual shows how to clean them.
Air conditioning repairs in Durrants: local notes
At about 3 miles from the coast, Durrants is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal outdoor units can suffer from corroded coils and terminals, which can lead to poor cooling or trips. Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 88% of homes in Durrants and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 44% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Terraced homes rarely have side access, so say whether we reach the back through the house, a garage or a rear lane. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Durrants, you reach the Sir George Staunton Country Park Conservation Area. There are 3 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Durrants. About 6 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Durrants, Autumn House and Woodlands (grade II) among them. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
When cooling fails at a school like Havant Academy, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
