- Drips from the indoor unit
- Frost on the pipework
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Herne Common so we arrive with what’s needed.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Herne Common
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too and the make and model help us prepare. If the problem is weak airflow from the indoor unit and an error code or flashing light on the unit, we can help.
Around Herne Common, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
What a repair looks like in Herne Common
At about 3 miles from the coast, Herne Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal outdoor units can suffer from corroded coils and terminals, which can lead to poor cooling or trips. About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. The middle of Herne Common is part of the Herne Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Herne Common, including Thatched Cottage (grade II). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
When cooling fails at a school like Herne Church of England Infant School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

Common questions in Herne Common
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Herne Common?
It can, as Herne Common is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Herne Common?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Herne Common. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model, and we’ll diagnose the fault on site.
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.”
