Selsdon air conditioning repair
Air conditioning repair in and around Selsdon, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off with the price fixed before work begins.
- A system that keeps cutting out
- A fault code on the display
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
Why deal with it now?
For a newer system, a fault may be covered on the manufacturer’s terms. Tell us the make, model and install date and we will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply first. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.

Air conditioning repair in Selsdon
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about new noises from the system and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
Around Selsdon, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. We plan the visit from what you tell us about the fault, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Common questions in Selsdon
Is Selsdon in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Selsdon is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Selsdon for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Selsdon. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
How we price air conditioning repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The number of rooms, units or zones
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Getting a quote is straightforward. 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.

The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Selsdon.
- 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 repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Safe owner checks
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 electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
