Air Conditioning Repair in Hadlow Down
Need air conditioning repair in Hadlow Down? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around you, then sign it off with written records.
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- A unit that barely blows any air
How we handle air conditioning repair in Hadlow Down
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. If the problem is a system that won’t switch on and ice on the pipework or the coil, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units in a place like Hadlow Down can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

When to call us in Hadlow Down
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What happens if it’s left?
Refrigerant supply is changing. R410A systems can still be repaired legally, though the GB phase-down is making R410A harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Hadlow Down.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear access to the fuse board
