- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant

About our air conditioning repair in Little Leighs
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. Typical jobs include poor airflow even with clean filters and a unit that won’t start, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Little Leighs, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. 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 photos first means the trip to Little Leighs can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Little Leighs
Can you do air conditioning repair in Little Leighs?
Yes, Little Leighs is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Little Leighs for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Little Leighs. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
System by system
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. Each run is checked before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
Let and managed properties
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
