- Drips from the indoor unit
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- A system that needs topping up again
Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
Air conditioning repair in Lewes
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: 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. If the problem is weak airflow from the indoor unit and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, we can sort it out.
Around Lewes, the faults we hear about most are weak cooling, dripping indoor units and error codes. Plenty of them come down to dirty filters, a blocked drain or a leak.
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. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What a repair looks like in Lewes
The centre of Lewes lies within the Lewes Conservation Area. In the mile around Lewes’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 341 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Anne (grade I). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. At about 43 miles from central London, Lewes sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
Near Lewes station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.
Lewes is about 7 miles north-east of Brighton, in East Sussex. From the centre of Lewes to the outskirts, our engineers cover air conditioning repair, from small jobs to large ones. Our East Sussex coverage runs to 289 places, and Lewes is one of them. We also work in Brighton, about 7 miles from Lewes.
One of our recent jobs in Lewes was on High Street (BN7): installing a Fujitsu wall-mounted split system in the retail area, with the outdoor unit positioned in the rear courtyard to preserve the listed street frontage.
Getting to Lewes is easy by the A26 and A275. Market Lane, Market Street and High Street and the roads off them are all inside our area.

When it’s something else
Air conditioning repair can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- No power to the building at all
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- An old system with obsolete parts
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Lewes
- Ducted systems

What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Most visits to homes in Lewes are booked for a weekday, with businesses fitted around trading.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- 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.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Advice
Lewes questions
Is Lewes in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Lewes is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Do you cover Lewes for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Lewes is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
What warranty do I get?
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 whichever brand you choose.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
What we are called out for in Lewes
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- A fault code on the display
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A unit that barely blows any air
For a school like Lewes Old Grammar School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
