How we handle air conditioning repair in Shaw
Any repair we carry out in Shaw starts the same way: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are new noises from the system and drips from the indoor unit.
We prepare for a visit to Shaw from the make and model you give us, and if a part has to be ordered, we tell you the price before we fit it.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. In a place like Shaw, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- 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.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Advice
What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Running with a fault wastes electricity. Poor airflow or low refrigerant means more running time for less effect and the extra work wears the parts faster. For a place like Shaw, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What else we do in Shaw
What we are called out for in Shaw
Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that isn’t level are the usual causes, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
The things we are asked about most include:
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- A system that won’t switch on
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
If a system fails at a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Questions from Shaw
Do you cover Shaw for air conditioning repair?
We do: Shaw falls inside our working area. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Do you cover Shaw for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Shaw. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
