Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Willows Green easier.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Small faults rarely stay small. A drip can turn into a damaged ceiling, and a slow leak can leave the compressor straining, so getting it looked at early usually means a simpler repair. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Willows Green questions
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Willows Green out of hours?
Willows Green is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Is Willows Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, and if that doesn’t fix it, phone us on 07833 053749.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Common problems we fix in Willows Green
Rattles, buzzes and grinding sounds tend to be mechanical. Fan bearings, loose casing, leaves or debris in the outdoor unit and vibrating pipework are typical causes, and some noises point to the compressor.
The things we are asked about most are:
- A system that won’t switch on
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- Frost on the pipework
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
