Questions from Little Baddow
Is Little Baddow within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is Little Baddow in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Little Baddow is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. 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.

Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
About our air conditioning repair in Little Baddow
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, then phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form if the problem is still there. You will hear back from us the same working day. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about air conditioning running but not cooling and water dripping from the indoor unit.
Around Little Baddow, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
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.

What else we do in Little Baddow
How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. We do not promise dates we can’t control and we will keep you updated.
Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that is typically simpler than a breakdown repair.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Little Baddow.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
