What we are called out for in Hanscombe End
Some faults stop the unit completely: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. A breaker that trips a second time should be left off and call us.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Frost on the pipework
- A flashing light and a system that won’t run
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- What’s in the price and what isn’t

How we price air conditioning repair
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The brand, model and parts involved
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Your installation or service records
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hanscombe End
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Hertfordshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Hanscombe End easier.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
