When your air conditioning stops working, displays an error code or fails to heat or cool properly, we diagnose and fix it — fast. We carry fault-finding equipment, replacement components and refrigerant on every van, so most repairs are completed on the first visit. We repair all brands of domestic and commercial air conditioning across Leicester.
Homeowners and businesses across Leicester trust Elite Cooling & Heating to diagnose and fix their AC systems.
Modern air conditioning systems have onboard diagnostic systems that store fault codes when something goes wrong. The error code displayed on the indoor unit or controller tells our engineers exactly which component or circuit has triggered the fault — before they even open the unit. We carry manufacturer service manuals for all major brands and can cross-reference any error code on site.
Once we have identified the fault, we either repair it on the first visit or, where a part needs ordering, we book a return visit for the replacement. The most common faults — low refrigerant charge, failed thermistors, blocked condensate drains, faulty capacitors and PCB faults — are all diagnosed and repaired on the first visit in the majority of cases. We stock common components in our vehicles and carry refrigerant for all current system types. We provide a written repair report on every job, detailing the fault found, the repair carried out and the parts used.
We tell you honestly when a repair is worthwhile and when it is not. An older system with a failed compressor may cost more to repair than its remaining working life justifies — and in that case we will say so and quote for a replacement instead. We do not charge for diagnosis if we recommend replacement and you proceed with us.

Book a RepairWe diagnose and repair the full range of air conditioning faults — from simple filter blockages to compressor and PCB replacement.
Most commonly caused by low refrigerant charge, dirty indoor coils or a faulty thermistor. We identify the root cause and resolve it on the first visit in most cases.
Leaking indoor units are almost always caused by a blocked condensate drain. We clear the blockage and treat the drain to prevent recurrence — a 30-minute fix.
Rattling, buzzing or grinding from the indoor or outdoor unit points to fan blade damage, loose components or a failing fan motor — all repairable.
Nuisance tripping is usually caused by an insulation fault on a component or wiring, or a failing capacitor. We carry out full electrical testing to identify the cause.
Systems that fail to reach the set temperature are often suffering from low refrigerant charge, dirty coils or a faulty indoor thermistor — all diagnosable and repairable.
We decode and resolve error codes for all major brands — Daikin, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Toshiba, Fujitsu, LG and more. Tell us the code and we can advise before we visit.
From a single wall-mounted domestic unit to a multi-site commercial VRF installation — we diagnose and repair them all.
The most common domestic system — fault finding and repair usually completed within the first visit.
Cassette unit repairs including motor, PCB and condensate pump replacement — full access to all components.

Multi-split fault finding across all indoor units and the outdoor unit — identifying which branch of the system has the fault.
Large commercial VRF systems repaired under planned maintenance contracts or on a call-out basis.
If low refrigerant charge is the cause of poor cooling, we locate any leak, repair it and recharge the system.
After a repair, a service visit ensures the system is clean, correctly charged and operating at peak efficiency.

Same-week repair appointments across Leicester and the surrounding region — domestic and commercial.
Error codes vary by manufacturer and model but generally indicate a specific component or circuit fault. Common codes relate to thermistor failure, refrigerant pressure out of range, fan motor fault, or communication errors between the indoor and outdoor units. Tell us the make, model and error code when you book and we can advise on the likely cause and expected repair cost before we visit.
Yes. We repair all major brands regardless of who installed them. If you have a system under warranty with the original installer and they are no longer available, we are happy to carry out the repair and provide a report — though warranty claims in this situation would need to be addressed directly with the manufacturer.
It is common and almost always caused by a blocked condensate drain — a straightforward fix. Left untreated, the water will eventually overflow and damage ceilings and walls below the unit, so it is worth getting it addressed promptly. We can usually attend and clear the blockage within the week.
As a general guide, if the cost of a repair exceeds 50% of the cost of a new system and the existing system is more than 10 years old, replacement is usually the better investment. We give you an honest assessment on every job — if replacement is the better option, we will tell you and provide a replacement quote at no extra charge.
