About air conditioning repair services
Low refrigerant, a blocked condensate drain and a clogged filter cover the majority of call-outs, and only the first needs an F-Gas registered engineer, which is a legal requirement for anyone handling refrigerant. Because the season is short, getting a service booked in spring rather than July is the difference between a week's wait and a month's.
