Lower Heyford questions
Will you come out to Lower Heyford?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Lower Heyford out of hours?
Lower Heyford is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
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 we’ll quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Air conditioning repair in Lower Heyford, done properly
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. Typical jobs include ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and a fault code on the display, on multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Lower Heyford, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What air conditioning will not do
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- No power to the building at all
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records for the operator’s records.
What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Lower Heyford easier.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
