System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we are called to. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.

Upton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Upton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Upton for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Upton is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can you set up regular servicing?
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.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Honest limits
Air conditioning repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A leak on an old R22 system
- An old system with obsolete parts
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What a repair looks like in Upton
The coast is only about 3 miles from Upton. On a coastal repair, we look at the outdoor unit for corrosion as well as the fault you called about. Census 2021 figures found about 76% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book. On the National Heritage List, around 9 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Upton; Grove Place House Northcliffe School (grade I) is one. Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we will flag it if a replacement is needed.
When cooling fails at a school like Nursling Church of England Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

When to call us in Upton
A unit that runs but does not cool has a few usual suspects: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Testing tells us which.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A system that will not switch on
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
