Things to check in Banbury
Old refrigerant
Systems still on R22 cannot legally be topped up with virgin or recycled R22. Repairs on these are limited — replacement is often the realistic option.
Working hours
Most Banbury businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Banbury are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Why is water leaking from my unit?
Usually a blocked condensate drain or a failed condensate pump. Switch the unit off to avoid ceiling damage and book a repair.

Re-gassing without finding and fixing the leak only delays the problem. We locate and repair the leak, then charge the system and record the quantity.
