Highstreet air conditioning repair
We cover Highstreet for fault finding and repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF air conditioning, whatever the brand. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- A unit that won’t start
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
What the work involves, system by system
VRF systems
VRF systems often hold enough refrigerant to need regular F-gas leak checks. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records, and the operator keeps the records.
Condensate drains and pumps
We clear the drain, test the pump and check the fall, so the water goes where it should. Failed pumps are replaced and tested before we go.
About our air conditioning repair in Highstreet
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. If the problem is drips from the indoor unit and air conditioning running but not cooling, we can help.
Around Highstreet, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Highstreet.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
FAQs for Highstreet
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Highstreet?
It can. Highstreet is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Highstreet out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Highstreet. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Normally a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that is not level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Other services in Highstreet
What we’re called out for in Highstreet
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
A unit that keeps tripping or showing the same code is worth a proper diagnosis.
Comparing quotes
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A supply fault outside the property
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

At about 2 miles from the coast, Highstreet is close enough for sea air to matter. Corroded fins, fixings and electrical connections on outdoor units are more common near the sea, and they can cause faults. Census 2021 figures found about 79% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

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.”
