About our air conditioning repair in Priestwood
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, so we diagnose before we repair. Typical jobs include a unit blowing warm air and a system that needs topping up again, across VRF systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Priestwood, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. If a lane or gateway near Priestwood is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Related advice
What the work involves, system by system
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records for the operator’s records.
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we are called to. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults, and most are diagnosed on the first visit.
Priestwood: your questions answered
Will you come out to Priestwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Priestwood?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Priestwood. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that cannot breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, and if that does not fix it, give us a ring on 07833 053749.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.

What happens if it’s left?
The rules on refrigerant affect repairs. R410A systems can still be repaired legally, though the GB phase-down is making R410A harder and dearer to buy and we weigh that up when we advise you. For a village like Priestwood, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer

“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.”
