Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. Common call-outs are for poor airflow even with clean filters and air conditioning running but not cooling, on ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and heat pumps.
Around Shipton-under-Wychwood, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Questions from Shipton-under-Wychwood
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Shipton-under-Wychwood?
Shipton-under-Wychwood is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Shipton-under-Wychwood?
Yes, Shipton-under-Wychwood is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How long does the work take?
On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.

System by system
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so we check whether the fault is in one room or the shared outdoor unit. It tells us where to look first.
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that isn’t level can spill water too.
How we price air conditioning repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
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 are unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form for straight advice and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The address and the type of property
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shipton-under-Wychwood
A struggling system costs more to run. Poor airflow or low refrigerant means more running time for less effect, and the extra strain can shorten the life of the compressor. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
