Plaxtol: your questions answered
Is Plaxtol in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Plaxtol is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Plaxtol within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally 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.
Air conditioning repair in Plaxtol, done properly
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. The work covers heat pumps, ducted systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a system that keeps cutting out and a system that needs topping up again.
Around Plaxtol, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

System by system
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. 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.
VRF systems
VRF systems often hold enough refrigerant to need regular F-gas leak checks. Any leak we find and repair is recorded for the operator’s records.
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Visits to Plaxtol are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
