How the visit works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Paddock Wood when you book.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Paddock Wood
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge and write it up in the F-Gas records. Common call-outs are for a system that needs topping up again and a system that won’t switch on, on ducted systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
Around Paddock Wood, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. What you tell us about the fault shapes the visit, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Common questions in Paddock Wood
Is Paddock Wood in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: Paddock Wood falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Paddock Wood out of hours?
Paddock Wood is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How long does the work take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. As a guide, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
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 we price air conditioning repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the job
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- How easy the units are to reach
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
What air conditioning won’t do
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- No power to the building at all
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
