Hoshizaki Manitowoc and Scotsman are the three leading brands but are pricey!
Ice-O-Matic, Maidaid & Polar Ice Machines are also great machines if you are on a budget
We highly recommend that you have these maintained regularly! Don’t forget ice is food and when you take apart an ice machine, there are lots of parts to descale and remove mould! Make sure you keep on top of the maintenance
Several factors could be causing your ice maker to stop functioning. Here are some common issues to check:
Water Filter: If the filter is dirty, clogged, or incorrectly installed, it can prevent water from reaching the ice maker. Most refrigerator water filters should be replaced every six months to ensure proper operation.
Water Inlet Valve: A malfunctioning water inlet valve could stop water from reaching the ice maker. This can happen due to wear and tear or material fatigue.
Freezer Temperature: If the freezer temperature is too low, it can interfere with ice production. Use a thermometer to check and adjust the temperature if necessary.
Ice Maker Switch: Sometimes the ice maker might simply be switched off, especially after installation or movement inside the fridge. Make sure the switch is in the “on” position.
Ice Maker Assembly: A defective component in the ice maker assembly could be the issue. In such cases, the entire assembly may need to be replaced.
Test Cycle: Some ice makers can be reset by running a test cycle. You can do this by pressing and holding the ice cube size adjustment button or the test button for about 10 seconds.
Other Issues: Blocked water fill tubes, a faulty heating element, or a misaligned control arm can also cause problems. It’s worth checking these components if the ice maker still isn’t working.
Contact Us if require more help
We highly recommend that you get a professional deep clean for your ice machine. You could easily dislodge mould and limescale into your ice bin storage area and then serve this unknowingly into your drinks.
We highly recommend that you have water filters fitted or changed annually as well
Contact Us to book a maintenance
Yes, most ice makers are designed to run continuously, so you can leave them on overnight. Many models even feature an automatic shutoff function that stops ice production once the storage bin is full.
However, if you won’t be using your ice maker for a while, here are some tips:
Turn off the water supply to the ice maker or refrigerator.
Switch off the ice maker to conserve energy.
For added convenience, you might consider a portable ice maker with an automatic timer, allowing you to schedule when the machine starts or stops.

Whether an air conditioning unit requires planning permission depends on its size and other factors. Our best advice is to speak to your local council as the rules vary between each authority
Small Systems: Most small air conditioning systems fall under permitted development rights and typically do not require planning permission.
Large Systems: You may need planning permission if your system meets any of the following criteria:
- It is located less than one meter away from any property boundaries.
- It is within one meter of the edge of a flat roof.
Other factors that may influence the need for planning permission include:
– The location of the property (e.g., in a conservation area or scenic location).
– If the property is an apartment in a central location.
– If the property is within a conservation area
– If the property is listed building (other applications will have to be obtained)

One of the most common reasons for air conditioning leaks is clogged drainage. This blockage can be caused by dirt, dust, and mold, preventing proper water flow. When this happens, water may find alternative paths to escape, resulting in leaks. If left unaddressed, this issue can lead to more serious problems, including potential health risks due to mold growth and decreased indoor air quality. It’s essential to address any leaks promptly to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment.

The noise level of air conditioning units can vary. The loudest component is typically the compressor. Portable air conditioners can be quite loud, often reaching up to 55 dBA, because the compressor is housed in the indoor unit. However, modern split system air conditioners, which have the compressor located in the outdoor unit, are much quieter. This design helps minimize noise inside your home, ensuring a more peaceful and comfortable environment.
When the air conditioning units are run in heating mode, that is when they ramp up the pressures in the system, so this is when they are at their loudest. Many units in the Daikin range have a quiet mode for running units at night which is a fantastic feature
Yes, air conditioners are technically a type of heat pump known as an air-to-air heat pump. The key difference is that heat pumps have a reversing valve, allowing them to also provide heating.
Here are some additional differences between air conditioners and heat pumps:
- Purpose: Air conditioners are designed primarily to cool a single room, while heat pumps can meet a home’s heating, hot water, and cooling needs.
- Cost: Air conditioners are generally less expensive to purchase and install than heat pumps.
- Installation: Air conditioners are typically straightforward to install, making them a popular choice for many homeowners.
- Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps are powered by electricity, making them a more environmentally friendly option compared to systems that rely on fossil fuels.
In the summer, air conditioners and heat pumps function identically by cooling your home, providing comfort during warmer months.
A well maintained, clean air conditioning units are absolutely safe and can improve the air quality within a space. However, a badly maintained system can grow mould and smells. We highly recommend you have your system maintained at least once a year- some environments will require 3 or 4 visits a year i.e. gyms, commercial kitchens
The cost of running an air conditioner in the UK can vary based on several factors, including:
– Size and Efficiency: Larger or less efficient units generally consume more energy.
– Usage: How frequently and for how long you operate the air conditioner affects costs.
– Climate: Local weather conditions can impact how often you need to use the unit.
– Model: Different models and wattages can result in varying energy consumption.
– Electricity Tariff: Your standard electricity rate plays a significant role in your overall costs.
On average, running an air conditioner in the UK costs between 10 and 25 pence per hour. If you use your air conditioner for six hours a day, you can expect to spend around £25 per month. However, larger or more complex models, such as multi-split systems with multiple outlets, may lead to running costs exceeding £100 per month.
Tips to Reduce Running Costs:
– Keep filters and condensers clean
– Set your air conditioner to a sensible temperature. 21 degrees is the most comfortable temperature and proven to be when humans are most efficient
Regularly servicing your air conditioner is essential for several reasons:
- Efficiency:
Without servicing, air conditioners can lose up to 5% of their efficiency each year. Routine maintenance helps your unit operate more effectively, resulting in:
– Quicker cooling and heating
– More efficient power consumption
– Reduced energy bills
- Lifespan:
Consistent servicing can nearly double the lifespan of your air conditioner, protecting your investment for years to come.
- Indoor Air Quality:
Maintenance improves the filtration of air flowing through your system, reducing dust and allergens, which is especially beneficial for those with allergies or respiratory concerns.
- Avoid Costly Replacements:
Regular check-ups can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.
- Warranty Compliance:
Keeping up with maintenance is often required to uphold your equipment’s warranty.
- Proactive Problem Solving:
Our professionals can identify and resolve minor issues before they develop into major problems.
We recommend servicing your air conditioner at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
If your premises is a high footfall, dusty, or a sweaty environment, we suggest 3 or maybe 4 maintenances per year. We usually would have one major maintenance and then minor filter cleans with condenser cleans- depending on the environment
