Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Appleford-on-Thames
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, so we diagnose before we repair. If you’re dealing with a system that won’t switch on and a system that needs topping up again, we can sort it out.
Around Appleford-on-Thames, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

What else we do in Appleford-on-Thames
Appleford-on-Thames: your questions answered
Will you come out to Appleford-on-Thames?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Appleford-on-Thames?
Yes. Appleford-on-Thames is one of the places we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. A dirty filter is worth checking first and if that is not it, we’ll find the cause.
Leave it or put it right?
Small faults rarely stay small. A blocked drain becomes water damage, and a slow leak drains the refrigerant until the compressor is working far harder than it should and early diagnosis normally keeps the repair simpler. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.

Advice
How we price air conditioning repair
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- What kind of system it is
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
