- A fault code on the display

How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Earnley.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear access to the fuse board

Common questions in Earnley
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Earnley?
It can, as Earnley is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Do you cover smaller places like Earnley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can you come out for an emergency air conditioning repair?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will agree the next steps with you.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak usually means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

Air conditioning repairs in Earnley: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Earnley is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. About 77% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. Earnley’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Earnley Conservation Area. In the mile around Earnley’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Earnley; The Parish Church (grade II*) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If a system fails at a school such as East Wittering Community Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- A supply fault outside the property
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will say what we think before booking.
