- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
Where a repair is not worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans what you can’t reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Great Tey
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guessing is expensive, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. If the problem is an error code or flashing light on the unit and a unit that won’t start, we can help.
A visit to Great Tey is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Great Tey.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Great Tey’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Great Tey Conservation Area. Church of St Barnabas, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 15 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Great Tey’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Weak cooling, water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes are the faults we’re called about most. A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

FAQs for Great Tey
Is Great Tey within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Great Tey in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Great Tey is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- An old system with obsolete parts
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
