Air conditioning repairs in Ashford

Faults we fix

Blowing warm air. Usually low refrigerant from a leak, a failed sensor, dirty filters, or the unit set to heating or fan mode. If a settings check does not solve it, it needs a diagnostic visit.

Water leaking from the indoor unit. Almost always a blocked condensate drain or a failed condensate pump. Inexpensive to fix, but switch the unit off first because it can damage walls and ceilings fast.

Error codes on the display or remote. Every manufacturer uses different codes. We carry the diagnostics for Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, LG, Panasonic and Toshiba and can usually identify the fault before we arrive if you read us the code.

Poor cooling or slow to reach temperature. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or a system that was undersized at installation.

Noise and vibration. Fan bearings, loose panels, compressor mounts or debris in the outdoor unit.

Smells. Microbial growth on the evaporator coil or a dry condensate trap. Both are fixable and both are worth fixing.

Unit will not start. Isolator, fuse, PCB, capacitor or controller.

Repair or replace

We will tell you straight. On a unit under about eight years old with a repairable fault, repair almost always makes sense. On an older R22 or R410A system with a major compressor or coil failure, the repair cost often approaches half the price of a new, far more efficient unit, and we will say so rather than selling you a repair that buys you one more summer.

Response times

We aim to respond to every repair enquiry the same working day and to attend within one to two days for domestic jobs. Commercial and maintenance contract customers get priority response. In a July heatwave everyone in Kent calls at once, so booked maintenance customers are always seen first.
