Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Hitchambury
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, so we diagnose before we repair. If you are dealing with drips from the indoor unit and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Hitchambury so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
The repair is written up: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Small changes are worth acting on. Drips, noises, weak airflow and error codes are early warnings and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
Common problems we fix in Hitchambury
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- A system that needs topping up again
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
When cooling fails at a school like St Nicolas' Church of England Combined School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
Questions to ask before you book

- If the figure could change on the day
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Hitchambury so we arrive with what’s needed.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

FAQs for Hitchambury
Do you cover smaller places like Hitchambury?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Hitchambury out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Hitchambury is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. Most of the time, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it isn’t the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
What the work involves, system by system
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. 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
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.
From one of our customers
“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.”
