Air conditioning repair in Sompting, done properly
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, which is why diagnosis comes first. If the problem is drips from the indoor unit and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can help.
In a place like Sompting, outdoor units can be close to hedges and gardens, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. That’s one of the first things we check.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Common problems we fix in Sompting
Water dripping from an indoor unit is usually about the condensate. The drain may be blocked or kinked, the condensate pump may have failed, or the unit may not be level, and ice on the coil that melts can drip too.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
For a home or office near Lancing station, tell us the make, model and error code when you call, so we can plan the repair.

Sompting: your questions answered
Is Sompting within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. 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 Sompting out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Sompting 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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
The process
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, 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. A few pictures let us plan a visit to a place like Sompting.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Air conditioning repair around Sompting
Sompting is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corroded fins, fixings and electrical connections on outdoor units are more common near the sea, and they can cause faults. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 5 within half a mile of the centre, such as Yew Tree House (grade II). Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 51% of homes across Sompting and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 70% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.

What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it

What air conditioning repair can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 and we will say what we think.
