How can I find a good air conditioning engineer near me?
The easiest way is through Hey Alfie. We connect you with local air conditioning engineers available in your area. No more endless searching, chasing quotes, or worrying about trustworthiness. Just book through Alfie and get the job done right.
Why should I use Hey Alfie instead of finding someone myself?
Finding a reliable AC engineer yourself can be stressful. Chasing quotes, juggling schedules, and worrying if the work will be done safely. Alfie takes all of that off your plate, from finding the right professional to making sure the job meets legal and safety standards, we manage everything end-to-end. And with our £1,000 Guarantee, you’re always protected.
What does an air conditioning engineer do?
Air conditioning engineers specialise in the installation, servicing, and repair of AC systems. Typical jobs include:
- AC installation for homes and offices
- Air conditioning repairs and fault diagnostics
- Routine servicing and maintenance
- Refrigerant refills and leak detection
- Cleaning and filter replacements
- Emergency callouts for breakdowns
With Hey Alfie, you can quickly find a trusted AC engineer for any of these jobs, all booked, managed, and backed by our £1,000 Guarantee.
What qualifications does an air conditioning engineer need?
In the UK, most AC engineers hold qualifications such as:
- City & Guilds Level 2/3 in Refrigeration, Air Conditioning & Heat Pump Systems
- NVQ Diplomas in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
- F-Gas certification, which is legally required for handling refrigerants safely
These qualifications ensure engineers are trained to install, maintain, and repair AC systems safely and to regulation standards.
Can I book an air conditioning engineer for multiple jobs?
Yes. You can list several requirements, such as an installation and a routine service, in a single booking. Your engineer can often complete them in one visit, provided there’s enough time and the right parts.
Do I need to provide tools or materials?
No. Air conditioning engineers bring the necessary tools. If parts or components are required (e.g., filters, refrigerant, replacement units), the engineer can source them for you or fit ones you’ve purchased.
How much does an air conditioning engineer charge?
Air conditioning engineer rates in the UK vary significantly depending on the type of work required. For example:
- AC service/maintenance can be £80-£150
- Basic repairs can be £100-£300
- New AC unit installation can be-£2,000 to £10,000+ (depending on system type, number of rooms being installed, etc)

What happens after I book?

Alfie will guide you every step of the way. In some cases (such as an AC install) you may be required to secure a deposit.
What if I’m not satisfied with the work?
We stand behind every booking with our £1,000 guarantee. If something isn’t right, Hey Alfie will work to make it right, whether that means sending the same AC engineer back or assigning a new one.
How does your guarantee work?
If your original AC engineer doesn't sort out any issues, Hey Alfie will pay up to £1,000 including VAT for a different engineer to complete the work to the right standard. Learn more here.
