Your questions about air conditioning repair in Knowle
Will you come out to Knowle?
Yes. Knowle is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Knowle?
Yes. Knowle is one of the places we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the job, but in most cases it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. We will confirm it with the quote.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
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.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Knowle
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about frost on the pipework and poor airflow even with clean filters.
Outdoor units in a place like Knowle can be near hedges and fields, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

When to call us in Knowle
Electrical faults can stop a system altogether: fan motors, boards, interconnecting cables and tripped breakers. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off until an engineer has looked at it.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Drips from the indoor unit
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
If a system fails at a school such as Orchard Lea Infant School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Knowle can be planned properly.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you are happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Write down the fault code if there is one
If the same symptom comes back, tell us straight away. Describe what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll look into it.
Small changes are worth acting on. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
System by system
VRF systems
VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor units, often across a whole building. We use the system’s fault history and codes, then test to confirm and the repair is priced before any work starts.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. That is why we repair the leak first.

From one of our customers
“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.”
