- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A fault code on the display
Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
If the same symptom comes back, tell us right away. Describe what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll look into it.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans what you can’t reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown and that is typically simpler than a breakdown repair.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Earlstone Common
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then phone us on 07833 053749 or email us if the problem is still there. You will hear back from us the same working day. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that won’t switch on and frost on the pipework.
Around Earlstone Common, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What else we do in Earlstone Common
System by system
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records for the operator’s records.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.
How we price air conditioning repair
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What electrical work the job needs
- The pipe route between the units
- What kind of system it is
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
FAQs for Earlstone Common
Do you cover Earlstone Common for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Earlstone Common. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Will you come out to Earlstone Common?
Yes. Earlstone Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that doesn’t fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
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.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Earlstone Common.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
