Air conditioning repair in Theydon Garnon, done properly
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and a unit blowing warm air.
In a village like Theydon Garnon, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Let any ice thaw before the engineer arrives
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Sensible use helps. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.

Advice
What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Theydon Garnon questions
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Theydon Garnon?
Theydon Garnon is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Will you come out to Theydon Garnon?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What does an air con repair cost?
A diagnosis call-out is from £75 + VAT. When we have found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
What can I do with an old R22 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 refrigerant leak normally means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
Rented and managed buildings
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
