What we are called out for in Hornton
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
For a school like Hornton Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays.

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Hornton
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too and the make and model help us prepare. The work covers heat pumps, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are an error code or flashing light on the unit and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises.
Outdoor units in a place like Hornton can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Hornton
Is Hornton in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Hornton is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover smaller places like Hornton?

When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Why is not my air con cooling?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.

What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. For a village like Hornton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- 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.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We check it’s cooling or heating as it should and that the fault hasn’t left anything else behind, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Use the system sensibly. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
