Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Picket Piece
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, 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, then record it in the F-Gas records. We’re often asked to deal with a flashing light and a system that won’t run and frost on the pipework, across multi-split systems, heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Picket Piece, 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.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We plan the visit to Picket Piece from the survey or your pictures.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

What air conditioning will not do
Air conditioning repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Picket Piece
Will you come out to Picket Piece?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Picket Piece out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Picket Piece. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Picket Piece and across Hampshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.

Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
