Air conditioning repair in Poplar, done properly
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are a flashing light and a system that won’t run and a system that needs topping up again.
In Poplar, as across London, air conditioning works hard in hot spells, and that’s when faults show: weak cooling, water leaks, error codes or a unit that won’t start. A photo of the error code and the unit’s label helps us arrive with the right parts in mind.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Poplar
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Poplar out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Poplar. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Poplar?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Where photos aren’t enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Poplar and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It normally points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Turn it off, let the ice melt and phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
When air con fails in Poplar
The St Matthias' Church Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Poplar, within about a third of a mile. 14 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Poplar. On the National Heritage List, around 63 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Poplar; Church of St Matthias (grade II*) is one. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. About 66% of homes in the Poplar area have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 93% of households live in flats. Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit. London repairs often depend on reaching the outdoor unit, so access details help us plan.
For a school like Tower Hamlets College, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays. Shops and offices around Canary Wharf station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. 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. Some blocks in Poplar need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book an annual service after the repair
- 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 filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters every few weeks in heavy use and space around the outdoor unit. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Don’t ignore early signs. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
From one of our customers
“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.”
