Why deal with it now?
If your system uses R22, the options are narrower. R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system normally points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that is the right answer. An early booking makes the visit to High Cross easier to arrange.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- One contact for properties across the South East and London
- NICEIC approved electrical contractors
- MCS certification for heat pump work
How we handle air conditioning repair in High Cross
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers heat pumps, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are a suspected refrigerant leak and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
We plan the trip to High Cross so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in High Cross.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, 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.
Advice
High Cross: your questions answered
Is High Cross in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: High Cross falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Why is not my air con cooling?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then call us on 07833 053749 or send an email if it’s still not cooling.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you have a 24/7 line for breakdowns?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll agree the next steps with you.

What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The size of the job
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address and the type of property
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
To get a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we’re called to. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
Multi-split systems
On a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves several indoor units, so a fault outside can affect every room, while a fault inside may affect only one. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
Air conditioning repairs in High Cross: local notes
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 47% of homes in the High Cross area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. On the National Heritage List, around 21 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of High Cross; Balhams Hall and the Cottage (grade II*) is one. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller. When cooling fails at a school like Thundridge Church of England Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
