- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)

Air conditioning repair in Writtle, done properly
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form if the problem is still there. We reply to enquiries the same working day. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow even with clean filters and a fault code on the display.
Outdoor units around Writtle often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. We check the coil early on.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What a repair looks like in Writtle
The Writtle Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Writtle, within about a third of a mile. On the National Heritage List, around 43 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Writtle; Church of All Saints (grade II*) 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 60% of homes in and around Writtle date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts. If a system fails at a school such as Writtle Infant School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

How the job changes from property to property
Wall-mounted split systems
On a wall-mounted split, the indoor and outdoor units talk to each other through a control cable. Communication faults show up as error codes, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
Ducted and cassette systems
Ducted units and cassettes sit above the ceiling, so access matters. Many have condensate pumps, and pump failures are a common cause of ceiling leaks.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. In a place like Writtle, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Looking after your system
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Use the system sensibly. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs, so it isn’t running flat out all day.
Questions from Writtle
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Writtle out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Writtle. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you cover Writtle for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Writtle is within the area we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form if it’s still not cooling.
