- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A system that runs but does not cool the room
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
After we have gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We check it’s cooling or heating as it should and that the fault hasn’t left anything else behind and point out anything else we spotted.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans what you cannot reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
Air conditioning repair in Havering's Grove, done properly
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worth it. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and water dripping from the indoor unit.
A visit to Havering's Grove is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Havering's Grove

Can you do air conditioning repair in Havering's Grove?
Yes, Havering's Grove is within the area we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Havering's Grove easier.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
