Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Hornestreet
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It does not matter who installed it, so tell us the make and model if you know it. We’re often asked to deal with a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and frost on the pipework, on VRF systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
We plan the trip to Hornestreet 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 every service is written up.

Common questions in Hornestreet
Is Hornestreet within the area you cover?
Yes. Hornestreet is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Hornestreet?
Hornestreet is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we’ll give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Air conditioning repair around Hornestreet
Census 2021 figures found about 88% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Lyme Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 10 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hornestreet’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
Schools such as Langham Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term. Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.

What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or email us.
How the visit works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Hornestreet.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- 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.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

What air conditioning won’t do

- No power to the building at all
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

- Ceiling cassettes

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
Where a repair isn’t worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. We can quote for a replacement system on the same visit where that is the better answer.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain, so it is not running flat out all day.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
