What affects the quote in Hamble-le-Rice
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What does an air con repair cost?

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
Fans and compressors
Fan motors and bearings wear over time, and the first sign is often noise or weak airflow. A worn fan motor can typically be replaced where the parts are available.

Advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
