About our air conditioning repair in East Dean
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a unit blowing warm air.
In a village like East Dean, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We check it’s cooling or heating as it should and that the fault hasn’t left anything else behind, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants and stored items around it restrict airflow and make the system work harder and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.
What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Visits to East Dean are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- 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.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

When air con fails in East Dean
Central East Dean is inside the East Dean Conservation Area. On the National Heritage List, around 27 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of East Dean; The Parish Church of All Saints (grade I) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed. The 2021 Census found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

Common problems we fix in East Dean
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. It usually points to poor airflow, such as a clogged filter or a fan problem, or to a refrigerant leak. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- A unit that barely blows any air
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
Dirty filters and blocked drains cause more faults than people expect.
