Air conditioning repair in Aldbury
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are a fault code on the display and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling.
Around Aldbury, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Aldbury.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price

Advice
How we price air conditioning repair
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- How easy the units are to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- How many units are involved
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
Where a repair is not worth doing, we say so, and explain why. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.
Common problems we fix in Aldbury
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Drips from the indoor unit
- A unit blowing warm air
- A system that keeps cutting out
If a system fails at a school such as Aldbury Church of England Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first

Aldbury questions
Do you cover smaller places like Aldbury?
Yes. Aldbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Aldbury?
We do: Aldbury falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
It usually points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and ring 07833 053749.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
