How we handle air conditioning repair in Swaythling
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that doesn’t fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. If you are dealing with frost on the pipework and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, we can sort it out.
We prepare for a visit to Swaythling from the make and model you give us, and any part that needs ordering is priced before it’s fitted.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

What affects the quote in Swaythling
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The brand, model and parts involved
- How easy the units are to reach
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.
Questions from Swaythling
Can you do air conditioning repair in Swaythling?
Yes, Swaythling is within the area we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Swaythling out of hours?
Swaythling is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first and if that isn’t it, we’ll find the cause.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most of the time, it’s the condensate system: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t 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 usually makes replacement the sensible route. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.

What else we do in Swaythling
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for hot weather to see whether a fault sorts itself out rarely works. A fault ignored in spring is still there in summer, so it’s worth having it diagnosed while you can plan the repair. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

For landlords and property managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Swaythling and across Southampton. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Swaythling.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
