About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The centre of East Lavant lies within the Mid and East Lavant Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 41 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of East Lavant, including Church of St Mary (grade I). Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
Schools such as Lavant CofE Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term. If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

FAQs for East Lavant
Is East Lavant within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is East Lavant in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. East Lavant is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is usually the better answer. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is usually the better investment.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Work in East Lavant is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- 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.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a fault seldom makes it go away. A blocked drain becomes water damage, and a slow leak drains the refrigerant until the compressor is working far harder than it should, so getting it looked at early typically means a simpler repair. Getting the date in early helps for a place like East Lavant.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

How the job changes from property to property
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.
Circuit boards and sensors
We test sensors and boards before replacing them because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Some parts need ordering from the manufacturer, and we tell you if so.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
