Safe owner checks
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Air conditioning repair in Sholing
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guesswork costs money, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. If the problem is a unit that barely blows any air and a unit that won’t start, we can help.
Around Sholing, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. What you tell us about the fault shapes the visit, so a description and a photo of any error code really help.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Other services in Sholing
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Southampton. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
How the visit works
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. In a place like Sholing, 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.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
Questions from Sholing
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Sholing?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Sholing is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Sholing?
It can. Sholing is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak normally means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that is the answer.
What a repair looks like in Sholing
At about 2 miles from the coast, Sholing is close enough for sea air to matter. Coastal outdoor units can suffer from corroded coils and terminals, which can lead to poor cooling or trips. On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Sholing; Church of St Mary (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.
If a system fails at a school such as St Monica Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. Near Sholing station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
If a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, and explain why. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
