When air con fails in Temple
The centre of Temple lies within the Temples Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Temple and it takes in 32 conservation areas. Dr Johnsons House, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 448 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Temple’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 48% of homes in and around Temple before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 96% of households live in flats. 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, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.
Shops and offices around London Blackfriars station often can’t wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for. If a system fails at a school such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Air conditioning repair in Temple
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. Typical jobs include water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a unit that has lost refrigerant, across heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
London systems in Temple often run long hours in summer, and that’s when faults show: weak cooling, water leaks, error codes or a unit that will not start. A photo of the error code and the unit’s label helps us arrive with the right parts in mind.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What air conditioning won’t do
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A supply fault outside the property
- An old system with obsolete parts
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-split systems
- Heat pumps
- VRF systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- Ceiling cassettes
What the work involves, system by system
Ducted and cassette systems
With ducted and cassette units, most of the system is hidden in the ceiling and access is part of the job. Many have condensate pumps, and pump failures are a common cause of ceiling leaks.
Refrigerant leaks
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
Let and managed properties
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Temple.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
Common questions in Temple
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Temple?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Do you cover Temple for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Temple is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the job, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We will give you a firmer idea when we quote.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
