After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. We don’t promise dates we can’t control, so we keep you posted.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.

System by system
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
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.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- No power to the building at all
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems

We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, and ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Lower Shiplake.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
