- A discontinued model with no parts available

How we handle air conditioning repair in Skippers Hill
Any repair we carry out in Skippers Hill starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. If the problem is water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes, we can help.
A visit to Skippers Hill is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Common questions in Skippers Hill
Is Skippers Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Skippers Hill out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Skippers Hill 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.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
An error code points us in the right direction, but testing confirms the cause. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, then phone us on 07833 053749.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Skippers Hill so we arrive with what’s needed.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Safe owner checks
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. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
