How air conditioning repair works in Medway

A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. Common call-outs are for a system that keeps cutting out and air conditioning running but not cooling, on ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and heat pumps.

Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts.

Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.

How we quote

Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What’s near Gillingham

The nearest railway station is Gillingham (Kent) station, about 1.5 miles north-west of the centre.

Air conditioning repair across Medway: local notes

From Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester outwards, we repair air conditioning across Medway. The diagnosis comes first, then a price for the repair.

Message us from anywhere in Medway and you’ll hear back the same working day. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead. In the coastal parts of Medway, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing, and some manufacturers offer corrosion-protected coils.

Gillingham: The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us. If a system fails at a school such as Featherby Junior School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
A discontinued model with no parts available
A leak on an old R22 system

Owner checks or an engineer?

For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

Rented and managed buildings

Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.

We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.

Why it fails

An error code is the unit’s own diagnosis, in shorthand. Codes differ by brand, and one code can cover several faults so the code is a starting point, not the answer. Sensors, communication faults between the units and circuit boards are frequent culprits.

It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:

Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
A system that needs topping up again
Weak airflow from the indoor unit
Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling

FAQs for Medway

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?

Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, and if that does not fix it, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

What causes ice on the indoor coil?

It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Switch the system off, let it thaw and ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Do you work in Medway?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Medway included.

Can I do the refrigerant work myself?

Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
