It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.

What else we do in North Heath
Do you need air conditioning repair in North Heath?
Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. The drain may be blocked or kinked, the condensate pump may have failed, or the unit may not be level, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A fault code on the display
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
If a system fails at a school such as Chieveley Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
What happens on the day
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. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in North Heath.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

What the work involves, system by system
VRF systems
VRF systems often hold enough refrigerant to need regular F-gas leak checks. Any leak we find and repair is recorded for the operator’s records.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
