Air conditioning repair in Thaxted
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guessing is expensive, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. Typical jobs include poor airflow even with clean filters and a unit that has lost refrigerant, across ducted systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
In a place like Thaxted, repairs are usually for home systems and the odd shop or office. 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.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention and point out anything else we spotted.
Use the system sensibly. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
Common problems we fix in Thaxted
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A suspected refrigerant leak
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
Common questions in Thaxted
Do you cover Thaxted for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Thaxted. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Will you come out to Thaxted?
Yes. Thaxted is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone, and we are happy to show ours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause and you get a fixed price before the repair.

What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Everything the job in Thaxted needs is worked out beforehand.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
How to prepare
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
