How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. In a place like Great Totham, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Great Totham
Will you come out to Great Totham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Great Totham?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Great Totham is one of the places it covers. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
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.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged and every step is recorded.
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that is not level can spill water too.
When to call us in Great Totham
Rattles, buzzes and grinding sounds tend to be mechanical. Fan bearings, loose casing, leaves or debris in the outdoor unit and vibrating pipework are typical causes, and some noises point to the compressor.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A system that needs topping up again
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.
