About our air conditioning repair in Steyning
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then call 07833 053749 if the problem is still there. We reply to enquiries the same working day. We are often asked to deal with a unit that barely blows any air and a suspected refrigerant leak, across heat pumps, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Steyning, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. We plan the visit from what you tell us about the fault, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What we’re called out for in Steyning
A unit that runs but doesn’t cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Testing tells us which.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Drips from the indoor unit
For a school like Steyning CofE Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.
Before booking anyone
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Steyning questions
Can you do air conditioning repair in Steyning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Steyning is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Steyning?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Steyning. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, and if that does not fix it, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.

Different systems, different jobs
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Multi-split systems
On a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves several indoor units, so we check whether the fault is in one room or the shared outdoor unit. It tells us where to look first.

What else we do in Steyning
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
