Air conditioning repair in Longfield Hill
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If you’re dealing with an error code or flashing light on the unit and water dripping from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
We plan the trip to Longfield Hill so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. 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.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted and cassette systems
Water through a ceiling below a cassette or ducted unit needs prompt attention. The cause is normally the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that’s overflowing, and we check all three.
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. Each run is checked, then repair, pressure test and recharge.

Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance, so keep them clean as the manual describes.

How the visit 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 we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Visits to Longfield Hill are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
