Jacob's Post air conditioning repair
Our engineers work in Jacob's Post on air conditioning repair. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A system that keeps cutting out
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
How we price air conditioning repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How many units are involved
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
To help us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Air conditioning repair in Jacob's Post, done properly
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. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too and the make and model help us prepare. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are a unit that won’t start and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
Outdoor units in a place like Jacob's Post can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier, so we keep you posted.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans what you can’t reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.

Jacob's Post’s centre is no more than about a third of a mile from the Fairfield Conservation Area. In the mile around Jacob's Post’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated.

Jacob's Post: your questions answered
Is Jacob's Post in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Jacob's Post is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to Jacob's Post?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.
How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. If a lane or gateway near Jacob's Post is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- 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.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- 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
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

“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.”
