Questions from Headcorn
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Headcorn out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Headcorn. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you cover smaller places like Headcorn?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. 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.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Turn it off, let the ice melt and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
About our air conditioning repair in Headcorn
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guesswork costs money, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. Typical jobs include an error code or flashing light on the unit and a system that needs topping up again, on multi-split systems, heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
In a place like Headcorn, outdoor units can be close to hedges and gardens, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. We check the coil early on.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Headcorn
Leaving a fault seldom makes it go away. A drip can turn into a damaged ceiling, and a slow leak can leave the compressor straining, so getting it looked at early typically means a simpler repair. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we price air conditioning repair
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy the units are to reach
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- What state the existing equipment is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your installation or service records
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
What we’re called out for in Headcorn
Water dripping from an indoor unit is typically about the condensate. The drain may be blocked or kinked, the condensate pump may have failed, or the unit may not be level, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A unit that won’t start
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
Near Headcorn station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
