- Frost on the pipework
- New noises from the system
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Give the outdoor unit space. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain, and debris can get into the fan.

Our emergency line runs 24/7 for urgent breakdowns, from an overheating comms room to water leaking from a unit. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code, and we will agree the next steps.

System by system
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so a fault outside can affect every room, while a fault inside may affect only one. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. For a village like Petham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- 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 you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Questions from Petham
Do you cover Petham for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Petham is one of the places it covers. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you cover smaller places like Petham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that doesn’t fix it, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.

A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
