The unit switches on, the fan turns, and the room stays warm. In our experience this is a dirty filter or a refrigerant loss far more often than a dead compressor — so the first thing worth doing is a diagnosis, not a quote for a new system.
1. The indoor filters. A clogged filter chokes airflow, freezes the coil and kills cooling capacity. Slide them out, wash, dry fully, refit. 2. The outdoor unit. If it is packed with leaves, blocked by a hedge or standing in full sun with no clearance, it cannot reject heat. These two take fifteen minutes and resolve a genuine share of summer call-outs.
• Refrigerant loss — cooling fades gradually over seasons; a leak has to be found and repaired, not just topped up • Iced-up indoor coil — airflow or refrigerant problem showing itself as frost • Outdoor fan or compressor not starting — capacitor, contactor or control fault • Sensor and control faults producing error codes • A unit that short-cycles: starts, runs briefly, stops
A split system does not consume refrigerant. If the charge is low, it leaked out. Refilling without finding the leak means paying again next season and releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere — which is also why leak checks are regulated. We locate the leak, repair it where it is repairable, then recharge to the manufacturer's specified weight.
On an old unit with a major component failure — compressor or a leaking indoor coil — repair costs can approach the price of a new, far more efficient system. We give you both numbers and let you choose, rather than quietly steering you to the bigger invoice.

"These guys are lifesavers! On a Sunday afternoon my pipe burst and they came and fixed it very quickly. The service fee was affordable, especially considering they were the only available option I could find. From now on I won't use another plumber."

"This company is truly competent, efficient and offers fair prices. I called another company for plumbing services (clogged kitchen sink) and the person who came worked for several hours and said he needed something else to fix the problem. He planned to come the next day and eventually significantly increased the price. I cancelled and called this company instead. They came and solved the same problem in about 15 minutes. They charged a third of the price and even fixed my curtain. Excellent service."
