About our air conditioning repair in Payden Street
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. Common call-outs are for a system that needs topping up again and poor airflow even with clean filters, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
Around Payden Street, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

What we are called out for in Payden Street
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- A unit that will not start
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
Before you book anyone
- What records you get at the end
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Payden Street.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
