About our air conditioning repair in Selham
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If the problem is water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a unit that barely blows any air, we can help.
Outdoor units in a place like Selham can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.

What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
VRF systems
VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor units, often across a whole building. Faults are diagnosed through the system’s own fault codes and controls, then confirmed by testing, and repairs are priced before they go ahead.

What a repair looks like in Selham
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 43% of homes in and around Selham before 1919, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. Central Selham is inside the Selham Conservation Area. Church of St James, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 8 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Selham’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

Common problems we fix in Selham
Electrical faults can stop a system altogether: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off until an engineer has looked at it.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A suspected refrigerant leak
Many breakdowns start small, with a drip, a smell or a unit that takes longer to cool.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
If a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, and explain why. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Clean the filters regularly. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Selham can be planned properly.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

“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.”
