How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to South Mimms can be planned properly.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Questions from South Mimms
Is South Mimms in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, South Mimms is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will you come out to South Mimms?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain 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.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Why deal with it now?
Refrigerant supply is changing. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens and we weigh that up when we advise you. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Enquiries answered the same working day
- MCS certification for heat pump work
- Manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns

System by system
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so a fault outside can affect every room, while a fault inside may affect only one. It tells us where to look first.
VRF systems
VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor units, often across a whole building. Faults are diagnosed through the system’s own fault codes and controls, then confirmed by testing, and repairs are priced before they go ahead.
What a customer said
“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.”
