- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
- A fault code on the display

After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
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.
Give the outdoor unit space. Anything blocking the outdoor unit makes the whole system strain, and debris can get into the fan.

Sittingbourne: your questions answered
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Sittingbourne?
Sittingbourne is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Sittingbourne?
It can. Sittingbourne 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.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What does an air con repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When we’ve found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Your quote is based on your property. We consider:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
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. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
