Air conditioning repair in London Colney, done properly
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it, so tell us the make and model if you know it. We are often asked to deal with weak airflow from the indoor unit and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, across heat pumps, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Outdoor units around London Colney often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. That’s one of the first things we check.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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 happens if it’s left?
A struggling system costs more to run. A dirty coil, a blocked filter or a low refrigerant charge all make the system work harder for less cooling and the extra work wears the parts faster. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.

System by system
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we are called to. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
London Colney: your questions answered
Is London Colney in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. London Colney is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in London Colney out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in London Colney. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
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 every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. As a guide, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find.
The process
You don’t need to do much 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. We plan the visit to London Colney from the survey or your pictures.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
