How we handle air conditioning repair in Rickling Green
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form if the problem is still there. You will hear back from us the same working day. We’re often asked to deal with a unit that won’t start and drips from the indoor unit, across ceiling cassettes, heat pumps and multi-split systems.
A visit to Rickling Green is planned so we can normally finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

System by system
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is typically behind it and the diagnosis covers each of them.
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, and the first sign is often noise or weak airflow. A worn fan motor can typically be replaced, depending on parts availability.
Rickling Green questions
Will you come out to Rickling Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Rickling Green?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Rickling Green. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the job, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. We’ll give you a firmer idea when we quote.
What does an air con repair cost?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Air conditioning repair in Rickling Green: the local picture
Central Rickling Green is inside the Quendon and Rickling Conservation Area. Quendon Court, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 31 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Rickling Green’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Many breakdowns start small, with a drip, a smell or a unit that takes longer to cool. The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

What owners can safely do
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. For a place like Rickling Green, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
A customer’s words
“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.”
