Air conditioning repair in Westbourne, done properly
Any repair we carry out in Westbourne starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are air conditioning running but not cooling and a fault code on the display.
In Westbourne, as across London, air conditioning works hard in hot spells, and that is when faults show: weak cooling, water leaks, error codes or a unit that will not start. The error code on the display, the make and the model are the most useful things to send us.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why deal with it now?
R22 systems are a different case. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 is not allowed, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system typically points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that is the right answer. Getting the work done in Westbourne before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and call 07833 053749.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that isn’t it, we will find the cause.

Different systems, different jobs
Condensate drains and pumps
The drain is cleared, the pump tested and the fall checked until the condensate runs away properly. If a pump has failed, we replace it and test it before we leave.
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
Air conditioning repair around Westbourne
The middle of Westbourne is part of the Westbourne Conservation Area. In the mile around Westbourne’s centre, 17 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 170 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Westbourne; Church of St Mary Magdalene (grade I) is one. 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. About 59% of homes across Westbourne and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 88% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Balcony, roof or high wall? Knowing where a flat’s outdoor unit is helps us bring the right access kit. London repairs often depend on reaching the outdoor unit, so access details help us plan.
