Air conditioning repairs in Somerset
Diagnosis first, then a clear explanation and a quote. Not cooling, leaking water, noisy, tripping or showing an error code — on domestic and commercial systems.
Common faults
- Not cooling, or cooling weakly — often a clogged filter or coil, but can be low refrigerant from a leak, a failing fan or a faulty sensor.
- Water leaking from the indoor unit — usually a blocked condensate drain or a failed pump.
- Ice on the unit or pipework — restricted airflow, low refrigerant or a failed fan.
- Unusual noise or vibration — loose panels, fan imbalance, a failing compressor or an unstable bracket.
- Tripping the breaker — an electrical or compressor fault that should not be repeatedly reset.
- Error codes and no response to the remote — communication faults, sensor failures or a control board problem.
How a repair works
The first visit is a diagnosis. We check the obvious causes, measure pressures and temperatures, and find the actual fault rather than replacing parts to see what happens. You then get a plain explanation and a quote for the repair. If it is not worth repairing — an old unit with a failed compressor, for instance — we will say so and discuss replacement.
Anything involving refrigerant is carried out by suitably certified engineers, with the leak found and fixed before any gas is added. Topping up a leaking system without finding the leak is a repair that does not last, and under F-Gas rules it is not good practice.
Before you call
There are two checks worth making first. Make sure the filters are clean — a blocked filter causes a surprising number of faults — and check that the unit has power and that the breaker has not tripped. If it trips again when reset, leave it off and call. Never open the outdoor unit or touch refrigerant pipework yourself.
Common questions.
Why is my air conditioning not cooling?
The most common causes are blocked filters, a dirty coil, a refrigerant leak, a failed fan or a sensor fault. A diagnosis visit finds which.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Almost always a blocked or badly sloped condensate drain, or a failed condensate pump. Switch it off and call so the water does not damage the ceiling.
Is it worth repairing an old unit?
Often, yes. If the compressor has failed on an old unit it may not be, and we will say so. Newer, more efficient units can be cheaper to run.
Do you repair other installers’ systems?
Yes, on the main makes. We diagnose before we quote.
