About our air conditioning repair in Shippon
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. Common call-outs are for a flashing light and a system that won’t run and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises, across ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
Around Shippon, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Air conditioning repair in Shippon: the local picture
About 75% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it. On the National Heritage List, around 13 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Shippon; The Old Manor (grade II) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
For a school like Larkmead School, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays. The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Shippon
Can you do air conditioning repair in Shippon?
We do: Shippon falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Shippon out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Shippon is one of the places it covers. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model and we will test the system to confirm the cause.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Shippon and across Oxfordshire. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
After we have gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
A returning symptom is worth reporting quickly. Describe what’s happening and any error code and we’ll come back to it.
Clean the filters regularly. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
Different systems, different jobs
Circuit boards and sensors
Testing comes before any part is replaced because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Some parts need ordering from the manufacturer, and we tell you if so.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Shippon can be planned properly.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- 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.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
