Kimpton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Kimpton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you cover Kimpton for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Kimpton. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. 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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: 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.
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 will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Air conditioning repair in Kimpton
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. Typical jobs include frost on the pipework and a unit blowing warm air, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems.
Around Kimpton, 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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters every few weeks in heavy use and space around the outdoor unit. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Kimpton.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
