How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so we check whether the fault is in one room or the shared outdoor unit. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
Circuit boards and sensors
Boards and sensors are the system’s nervous system. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Heat pumps
- Ducted systems
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. In a place like Pilgrims Hatch, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How long does the work take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
What does an air con repair cost?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When we’ve found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier and we will keep you updated.
Give the outdoor unit space. Leaves, plants and stored items around it restrict airflow and make the system work harder and debris drawn into the fan can cause noise and damage.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
