- A unit that barely blows any air
What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Air conditioning repair in Whippingham
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that does not fix it, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. We reply to enquiries the same working day. Common call-outs are for ice on the pipework or the coil and a unit that barely blows any air, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and heat pumps.
We plan the trip to Whippingham so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the job changes from property to property
Ducted and cassette systems
Water through a ceiling below a cassette or ducted unit needs prompt attention. The cause is typically the condensate pump, a blocked drain or a tray that is overflowing and the diagnosis covers each of them.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. That’s why we repair the leak first.
Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
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.
Whippingham questions
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Whippingham?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Whippingham. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Whippingham?
It can. Whippingham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first and if that is not it, we’ll find the cause.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. Most of the time, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When we have found the fault, the repair is priced before we do it. The final cost depends on the fault, the parts and the access.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

Advice
What a repair looks like in Whippingham
Whippingham is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. The middle of Whippingham is part of a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 10 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mildred (grade I). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 36% of homes in the Whippingham area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
For a school like Queensgate Foundation Primary, urgent repairs can be booked straight away and bigger work in the holidays. A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.

A customer’s words
“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.”
