Air conditioning repair in Paddock
Any repair we carry out in Paddock starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. We are often asked to deal with drips from the indoor unit and a unit that barely blows any air, across heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
Around Paddock, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
If the same symptom comes back, tell us straight away. Describe what’s happening and any error code and we’ll come back to it.
Don’t ignore early signs. Drips, noises, weak airflow and error codes are early warnings and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- No power to the building at all
- A leak on an old R22 system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Paddock
Is Paddock within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Paddock for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Paddock is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can you come out for an emergency air conditioning repair?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will agree the next steps with you.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that cannot breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line if it’s still not cooling.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
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 call 07833 053749 or send an email.
When air con fails in Paddock
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned. Paddock’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Paddock, Great Paddock Farmhouse (grade II*) among them. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
If a system fails at a school such as Challock Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. The visit itself 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 Paddock.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
