Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. We don’t promise dates we can’t control and we’ll keep you updated.
Book an annual service. The engineer cleans what you cannot reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Shellow Bowells
Across Shellow Bowells, every repair begins with a diagnosis: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about a unit that barely blows any air and a system that won’t switch on.
We plan the trip to Shellow Bowells so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered 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. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Why act early in Shellow Bowells
Faults do not fix themselves. If the system is faulty now, it will be faulty in a heatwave, when you need it most, so it’s worth having it diagnosed while you can plan the repair. Booking before summer means the work in Shellow Bowells is done before the hot weather.
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

When to call us in Shellow Bowells
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
The things we are asked about most include:
- Frost on the pipework
- New noises from the system
- A system that keeps cutting out
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Visits to Shellow Bowells are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
