Leave it or put it right?
Refrigerant supply is changing. R410A systems can still be repaired legally, though the GB phase-down is making R410A harder and dearer to buy and we weigh that up when we advise you. For a village like Lychpit, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

How we handle air conditioning repair in Lychpit
For breakdowns that can’t wait, there’s a 24/7 emergency line, from an overheating comms room to water leaking from a unit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code and we will talk you through what happens next. The work covers heat pumps, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about a system that won’t switch on and a unit blowing warm air.
A visit to Lychpit is planned so we can normally finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

System by system
Ducted and cassette systems
Ducted units and cassettes sit above the ceiling and access is part of the job. Many have condensate pumps, and pump failures are a common cause of ceiling leaks.
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.

When air con fails in Lychpit
The last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Lychpit’s centre falls inside the Old Basing Conservation Area. Church of St Mary, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 67 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Lychpit’s centre. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
For a school like Old Basing Infant School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Lychpit
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Lychpit out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Lychpit is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Lychpit?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Lychpit is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most of the time, it’s the condensate system: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model, and we’ll diagnose the fault on site.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
Signs you need air conditioning repair in Lychpit
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- A unit that will not start
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
Comparing quotes
- If the figure could change on the day
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- What records you get at the end
What we do, step by step
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Lychpit.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
