- Drips from the indoor unit
- New noises from the system
- A suspected refrigerant leak
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Headington Hill.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. Each run is checked before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
