Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Rhodes Minnis
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that does not fix it, give us a ring on 07833 053749. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. The work covers heat pumps, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow even with clean filters and a unit blowing warm air.
Around Rhodes Minnis, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What we are called out for in Rhodes Minnis
A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: 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. Diagnosis narrows it down.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- A flashing light and a system that won’t run
- Drips from the indoor unit
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the quote is a fixed price
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We plan the trip to Rhodes Minnis around you.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

What affects the quote in Rhodes Minnis
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What kind of system it is
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Rhodes Minnis: your questions answered
Is Rhodes Minnis in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Rhodes Minnis is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Rhodes Minnis 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.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.

“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.”
