Air conditioning repair in Tolleshunt Knights, done properly
Refrigerant doesn’t get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. We’re often asked to deal with a system that keeps cutting out and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises, on ducted systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
A visit to Tolleshunt Knights is planned so we can typically finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Tolleshunt Knights: your questions answered
Will you come out to Tolleshunt Knights?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Tolleshunt Knights for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Tolleshunt Knights is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
Replacement is usually the better answer. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.

Safe owner checks
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 escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Tolleshunt Knights?
Some faults stop the unit completely: fan motors, boards, interconnecting cables and tripped breakers. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off until an engineer has looked at it.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A system that won’t switch on
If a system fails at a school such as St Luke's Church of England Controlled Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
