Common air conditioning faults in Crawley
Commercial systems around Gatwick generate year-round repair work, while domestic call-outs peak in heatwaves, often involving units in rented properties. The faults engineers see most are units that run but don't cool (dirty filters, a frozen coil or a refrigerant leak), water dripping indoors (a blocked condensate drain or pump), unusual noise from the outdoor unit, and systems tripping the electrics — most are diagnosed in one visit.
Crawley is a post-war new town built as a series of planned neighbourhoods. Northgate, West Green, Langley Green and Three Bridges date from the late 1940s and 1950s, Furnace Green, Tilgate and Pound Hill from the 1960s and 1970s, Bewbush and Broadfield from the 1970s and 1980s, and Maidenbower from the 1990s. Ifield retains an older village core. Most homes are terraced or semi-detached with modest gardens, and many have been extended; the town's airport economy also means a large rental market.
Re-gassing is only the fix when a leak has been found and repaired — venting refrigerant is illegal, and topping up a leaking system wastes money. For units over 10–15 years old, or those on obsolete refrigerants, a repair engineer should tell you honestly when replacement makes more sense; we can match you with installers for that too.
Conservation note: Crawley High Street and Ifield village are conservation areas; the post-war neighbourhoods are generally unaffected.
