Spot the Faults That Need a Same-Day Engineer
An air conditioning emergency is any fault that stops the system working, risks damage to the unit or the building, or leaves a space too hot to use safely. The real question is not whether it can be fixed, but how quickly, so you can get back to normal.
The faults we are called out for most often:
– Blowing warm air, or not cooling at all
– Water leaking from the indoor unit
– The system will not switch on
– It keeps tripping the electrics
– Loud grinding noises or a burning smell
– Ice forming on the pipework
We find the cause and put it right, from a refrigerant leak we trace and seal to a failed compressor that needs a replacement part. In older London properties we often find that a small water leak has been tracking behind a unit for weeks, so part of the job is checking what the fault has affected, not just the fault itself.
A symptom that seems minor, such as a faint hiss or a warm patch in one room, is often the first sign of a larger failure, so it pays to act while the fix is still simple.
