What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Hackington.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Hackington
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, so we diagnose before we repair. The work covers ceiling cassettes, heat pumps and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that needs topping up again and new noises from the system.
In a village like Hackington, 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.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Hackington: your questions answered
Is Hackington in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Hackington is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Is Hackington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- An old system with obsolete parts
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Hackington
A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drips from the indoor unit
- A unit blowing warm air
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
If a system fails at a school such as The Archbishop's School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
