About our air conditioning repair in Hunston
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worth it. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. We look at the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and how well the system suits the room, then give you an honest view. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about an error code or flashing light on the unit and air conditioning running but not cooling.
Around Hunston, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Common questions in Hunston
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Hunston out of hours?
Hunston 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 cover smaller places like Hunston?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that is not it, we’ll find the cause.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. As a guide, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.

What else we do in Hunston
How the job changes from property to property
Circuit boards and sensors
Testing comes before any part is replaced because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Parts may need ordering and we will explain any wait.
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.
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Hunston.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Air conditioning repairs in Hunston: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Hunston. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. The Hunston Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Hunston, within about a third of a mile. 2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hunston. About 12 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Hunston, The Manor House (grade II*) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 34% of homes in and around Hunston have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Schools such as North Mundham 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 affects the cost of air conditioning repair
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- The size of the job
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that.
When it’s something else
Air conditioning repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is normally the answer)
- A building problem rather than a system fault
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
