Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Kingston upon Thames
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a unit that won’t start and an error code or flashing light on the unit.
Air conditioning repairs in Kingston upon Thames are often in flats, offices and shops, with outdoor units on balconies, rear walls or flat roofs. Knowing where the outdoor unit sits, and how to get to it, helps us plan the repair.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

- A leak on an old R22 system

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
VRF systems
VRF systems often hold enough refrigerant to need regular F-gas leak checks. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records, and the operator keeps the records.
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Kingston upon Thames before visiting.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- 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
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Advice
FAQs for Kingston upon Thames
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Kingston upon Thames?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Where pictures aren’t enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Kingston upon Thames?
Kingston upon Thames 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.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Typically a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we’ll quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
