About our air conditioning repair in Point Clear
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. Typical jobs include a unit that won’t start and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, on wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and heat pumps.
Around Point Clear, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Air conditioning repair in Point Clear: the local picture
Point Clear lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. The last census (2021) found about 71% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Access to the outdoor unit is the one detail that most changes how a visit is planned.
Schools such as Colne Community School and College can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

Point Clear questions
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Point Clear out of hours?
Point Clear is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Point Clear?
It can. Point Clear is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, then ring 07833 053749 if it’s still not cooling.

What we’re called out for in Point Clear
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. It normally points to poor airflow, such as a clogged filter or a fan problem, or to a refrigerant leak. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Frost on the pipework
- A unit blowing warm air
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Send us a photo of any code on the display
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Clean the filters regularly. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Point Clear.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. That is why we repair the leak first.
Ducted and cassette systems
With ducted and cassette units, most of the system is hidden in the ceiling, so access matters. Condensate pumps are common on both, and a failed pump is a frequent cause of water leaks.
From one of our customers
“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.”
