Arundel air conditioning repair
Air conditioning repair in Arundel from an F-Gas certified company, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
Air conditioning repair in Arundel, done properly
Refrigerant doesn’t get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge, then record it in the F-Gas records. If the problem is weak airflow from the indoor unit and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can sort it out.
In a place like Arundel, outdoor units can be close to hedges and gardens, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. That is one of the first things we check.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What happens on the day
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Arundel can be done in one go where possible.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Tell us about parking and loading

Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Advice
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning repair won’t do:
- 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 building problem rather than a system fault
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Arundel
How the job changes from property to property
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. Sensor faults can stop the system or confuse it and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
Wall-mounted split systems
The indoor and outdoor units of a split communicate through a cable. Communication faults show up as error codes and testing finds whether it’s the cable, a board or a connection.
Air conditioning repairs in Arundel: local notes
About 36% of homes in and around Arundel were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. The Arundel Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Arundel, within about a third of a mile. On the National Heritage List, around 193 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Arundel; Fitzalan Chapel (grade I) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
Schools such as St Philip's Catholic Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term. Near Arundel station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair.

Arundel questions
Can you do air conditioning repair in Arundel?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Arundel is part of that. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few photos.
Do you cover Arundel for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Arundel. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier if it’s still not cooling.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
