About our air conditioning repair in Rowhook
Refrigerant does not get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers heat pumps, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are frost on the pipework and a unit that has lost refrigerant.
A visit to Rowhook is planned so we can typically finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How we price air conditioning repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

FAQs for Rowhook
Will you come out to Rowhook?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Rowhook for air conditioning repair?
We do: Rowhook falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
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, and if that does not fix it, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Can you come out for an emergency air conditioning repair?
Yes. We have a 24/7 emergency line for urgent breakdowns. Ring 07833 053749 with the make, what’s happening and any code, and we will agree the next steps with you.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Rowhook and across West Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
The repair is written up: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
When to call us in Rowhook
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fault code on the display
- A unit that won’t start
- A suspected refrigerant leak
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
When air con fails in Rowhook
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Chequered Oak House (grade II). That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
When cooling fails at a school like Farlington School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Rowhook.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
