Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in South Harting
Across South Harting, every repair begins with a diagnosis: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. The work covers ducted systems, heat pumps and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about frost on the pipework and a fault code on the display.
Around South Harting, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Your questions about air conditioning repair in South Harting
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in South Harting out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in South Harting. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you cover smaller places like South Harting?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What can I do with an old R22 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 leak normally makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
When to call us in South Harting
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
What we are most often called about:
- A unit that barely blows any air
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
If a system fails at a school such as Harting CofE Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included

How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to South Harting.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- 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.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
