Air Conditioning Repair in Upper Swanmore
One call covers fault finding and repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF air conditioning, whatever the brand in Upper Swanmore, from the first look to sign-off. F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and Checkatrade members.
- A unit that will not start
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
After we’ve gone
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. Our tips:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Upper Swanmore
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, 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. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a fault code on the display and air conditioning running but not cooling.
In a village like Upper Swanmore, 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.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Air conditioning repairs in Upper Swanmore: local notes
Rose Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 8 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Upper Swanmore’s centre. 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. The last census (2021) found about 83% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us. If a system fails at a school such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

What the work involves, system by system
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. Sensor faults can stop the system or confuse it, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
VRF systems
VRF systems often hold enough refrigerant to need regular F-gas leak checks. Any leak we find and repair is recorded for the operator’s records.
What we do, step by step
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. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. If a lane or gateway near Upper Swanmore is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Common questions in Upper Swanmore
Will you come out to Upper Swanmore?
Yes. Upper Swanmore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Upper Swanmore out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Upper Swanmore is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
How long does the work take?
That depends on what’s involved, 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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
In most cases, it’s the condensate system: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
