How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Landport can typically be finished in one visit.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

About our air conditioning repair in Landport
For breakdowns that cannot wait, there’s a 24/7 emergency line, such as a server room overheating or water coming through a ceiling. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code and we’ll talk you through what happens next. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises.
Outdoor units around Landport often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. That is one of the first things we check.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Questions from Landport
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Landport?
It can, as Landport is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Do you cover Landport for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Landport. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
Replacement is normally the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is usually the better investment.
When air con fails in Landport
The coast is only about 1 mile from Landport. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Landport, you reach the Mile End, Landport Conservation Area. In the mile around Landport’s centre, 10 conservation areas have been designated. Historic England lists about 48 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Landport, including Church of St Agatha (grade II*). Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. About 62% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. In flats, outdoor units are often on balconies, roofs or high walls, so tell us how we reach yours.
When cooling fails at a school like Ark Dickens Primary Academy, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. Shops and offices around Portsmouth & Southsea station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.

What air conditioning will not do
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning repair will not do:
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 and we will say what we think.

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.
Circuit boards and sensors
We test sensors and boards before replacing them because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Parts may need ordering, and we tell you if so.
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.”
