System by system
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we’re called to. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.

Questions from Westgate-on-Sea
Do you cover Westgate-on-Sea for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Westgate-on-Sea. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Westgate-on-Sea?
It can. Westgate-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on what’s involved, but as a guide it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We will confirm it with the quote.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
In most cases, it’s the condensate system: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded and we’ll give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
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 it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.

- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
