- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- A system that will not switch on
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. We do not promise dates we can’t control, so we keep you posted.
Sensible use helps. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Gubblecote
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that doesn’t fix it, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If you are dealing with a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and a noisy indoor or outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units in a place like Gubblecote can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically 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. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Common problems we fix in Gubblecote
When the fan runs but the air is not cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Testing tells us which.
Common reasons people call us include:
- A system that keeps cutting out
- A fault code on the display
- A unit blowing warm air
When cooling fails at a school like Long Marston VA Church of England Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. 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. For a place like Gubblecote, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
