About our air conditioning repair in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are drips from the indoor unit and a noisy indoor or outdoor unit.
Around Shipton-on-Cherwell, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. If a lane or gateway near Shipton-on-Cherwell is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Do you cover Shipton-on-Cherwell for air conditioning repair?
We do: Shipton-on-Cherwell falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Shipton-on-Cherwell out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Shipton-on-Cherwell. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, then phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Signs you need air conditioning repair in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Error codes are the system telling you it has found a fault. Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and the same code can have more than one cause, so we read the code and then test to confirm. Sensors, communication faults between the units and circuit boards are frequent culprits.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- A unit that will not start
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
Before you book anyone

- What’s in the price and what is not
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Multi-split systems
On a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves several indoor units, so we check whether the fault is in one room or the shared outdoor unit. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
Other services in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
