When air con fails in Temple Bar
About 48% of homes in and around Temple Bar were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 96% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). If you live in a flat, mention any roof hatch, balcony or managing agent we will need to get to the outdoor unit. In London buildings, outdoor units can be on roofs or in light wells, so let us know where yours is. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Temple Bar, you reach the Strand Conservation Area. 29 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Temple Bar. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 493 within half a mile of the centre, such as Nos. 16-23 (grade I). If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit.

Leave it or put it right?
A struggling system costs more to run. Poor airflow or low refrigerant means more running time for less effect, and the extra strain can shorten the life of the compressor. Approvals for flats in Temple Bar can take longer than the install itself.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you will get one fixed price.

When to call us in Temple Bar
A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Testing tells us which.
What we are most often called about:
- Drips from the indoor unit
- Frost on the pipework
- A flashing light and a system that won’t run
When cooling fails at a school like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. If a freeholder or agent needs to agree the work in Temple Bar, we can send them the details.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Temple Bar
Do you cover Temple Bar for emergency air conditioning repairs?

Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.

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.
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. Indoor and outdoor fan motors can usually be replaced where the parts are available.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
