Your questions about air conditioning repair in Matchams
Do you cover Matchams for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Matchams is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Matchams out of hours?
Matchams is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is normally the better answer. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that isn’t it, we will find the cause.
Air conditioning repair in Matchams
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. We’re often asked to deal with a suspected refrigerant leak and a fault code on the display, across ducted systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
We plan the trip to Matchams so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
Air conditioning repair around Matchams
About 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault. Weak cooling, water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes are the faults we are called about most.

Why it’s worth doing now in Matchams
The rules on refrigerant affect repairs. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. Planning ahead for a job in Matchams means we can bring everything needed.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
