Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Hickmans Green

We reply to enquiries the same working day. If the problem is a system that won’t switch on and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, we can help.

Different systems, different jobs
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that isn’t level can spill water too.
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so a fault outside can affect every room, while a fault inside may affect only one. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
Common questions in Hickmans Green
Is Hickmans Green in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Hickmans Green is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 with a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Hickmans Green?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first and if that isn’t it, we’ll find the cause.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it is not the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, then phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Most of the time, 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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips
If the same symptom comes back, tell us straight away. Describe what’s happening and any error code and we will come back to it.
Small changes are worth acting on. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault, and early diagnosis usually means a smaller repair.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Hickmans Green.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
