Common Air Con Faults

Air conditioning systems can develop faults over time, particularly if they are not regularly maintained. Without routine servicing, small issues can quickly turn into larger, more costly problems. Some of the most common faults we deal with across Somerset include:

 

  • Poor cooling or heating performance

  • Unusual or loud noises from the unit

  • Warm air blowing when the system is set to cool

  • Water leaks or excess condensation

  • Unpleasant smells coming from the unit

  • Increased energy bills without increased usage

  • Visible leaks around the indoor unit

  • System failing to power on

  • Weak or reduced airflow

If you notice any of these problems, or your system simply isn’t operating as it should, it’s important to have it checked promptly. Early diagnosis can prevent further damage and reduce repair costs.

 

If your air con is showing signs of a fault, contact our team and we’ll arrange a prompt inspection to get your system back to full working order.

Had a ducted air conditioning system installed at my property and I am so pleased with it. The team were really helpful and professional, and I definitely feel I've made the right choice upgrading to air conditioning. Thanks so much. I would happily recommend Bristol Air Conditioning to anyone looking to do the same.

5 star from start to finish! Do not hesitate to get Bristol AC in! They were friendly, professional and experts from the start. Tried a couple of national AC companies before I found these guys and so glad I waited, they have nothing on Bristol AC. Great job on the install by Robbie and Russ as well as super support from the rest of the team in the site survey all the way through to payment.

Just had an AC system installed at home by Bristol Air Conditioning and very happy and impressed by the whole process. When I initially looked into getting a home AC system, there was a lot of conflicting information and advice. As soon as Jason visited our house I was impressed by his knowledge, ideas, and honesty. He came up with ideas that minimised external trunking runs(which I was concerned about) and the best system to suit our needs. We have ended up with two wall mounted units, and two floor mounted units which work extremely well. The fitting crew were brilliant and friendly, and did an excellent job of the installation leaving all rooms clean and tidy. Overall very impressed, and would highly recommend.

Finally found the right firm for AirCon install. After years of looking, researching and receiving quotes from a number of companies, we eventually found Jason and the team. And I’m so glad we did. From the moment I met Jason to the hand over, his team have been excellent to work with. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable throughout, the team respected our home and fitted a brilliant Airzone Ducted system which is keeping us cool. Thank you, highly recommended.

Had a really good experience with Bristol Air Conditioning, from initial emails with Jason, to the install by Rich and Jack. Both guys were friendly and communicated well about the minor modifications to the initial proposal due to the nature of my property. Install was completed by the time estimate given on the day. Really pleased with the neat install of the indoor unit (no trunking visible internally) and hugely impressed by the power and quiet operation of the indoor unit, that is managing to have a cooling affect throughout the house, despite being on the top floor. Would recommend them to others.

In my job I deal with so many various contractors every single day, but I have to say Bristol Air Conditioning are the most professional company I have ever dealt with. The owner who quoted me for the job was friendly and approachable, and then Richard who fitted my unit was also so helpful and patient with instructions how to use and maintain my aircon. I highly recommend them to anyone!

The two engineers installing the air conditioning were friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. The AC is working perfectly and has made a massive difference to our loft bedroom. Would use again

Excellent experience with Bristol Air Conditioning. Initial system design and layout by Jason was very good, minimising trunking on internal walls (unlike our other quote). Price was competitive for good quality units. Luke and Jack were brilliant on the two installation days - turned up when they said they would, worked very efficiently and tidily, explained the system controls to me after it was up and running. The end result is excellent and looks extremely professional. As of early May we’ve already used it to cool a little but this week with some unseasonably low temperatures we’ve also used the lounge unit to provide some warmth first thing in the morning. The system is incredibly responsive. Looking forward to using it when we have our first summer heatwave of 2026!

They were fab. Very professional and installed our air con over just a few days. All the engineers were very friendly and happy to explain what they were doing/how to use the system etc. Overall I highly recommend BAC if you are looking to have air con installed in your property! Our house is so cool now!

Had my house fitted with air conditioning by Rich and his team, couldn't be happier with the result. Even with supplier issues they still managed to complete the work in under two days. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional installation.

Bristol Air Conditioning came to me as recommended by a work colleague. There service was 5 star, from first contact to shaking Rich’s hand as he left after installation. Jason came to conduct the survey and not a WhatsApp/ FaceTime video call as others. There was zero hard sell and was totally accommodating, his BAC quote was very competitive. I had two units fitted in two bedrooms, this took two days and Rich was very efficient and helpful as was the rest of the team that supported the instal. As summers get warmer, and you start to think about AC in the house, there is only one place to go to Bristol Air Conditioning. Thank you.

Excellent service from these guys, overcame obstacles with professionalism and provided options, with no pressure. Wish all companies were like this to deal with, special call out to Jason for managing to source the unit where other companies couldn't and the install engineers (think his name was Luke), very tidy work and genuine nice guy. If you are on the fence looking for a professional, competitive, reliable company, Bristol Air Con/ Gas Safe are fantastic and I highly recommend them

If the air conditioning unit s very old, it might be more cost effective to replace it with a new system. Our air conditioning engineer will be able to assess the damage and make a recommendation on whether it’s worth repairing or replacing.

Whilst it is possible to repair your air con unit yourself it isn’t advisable to do so unless you have the necessary knowledge and experience. Attempting to repair your unit yourself could result in further damage and potentially harm you or others.

The cost of repairing an air conditioning unit varies depending on the extent of the damage and the parts required. Our team will provide you with a free, no obligation quotation with a full breakdown of all associated costs.
