Ballinger Common questions
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Ballinger Common out of hours?
Ballinger Common is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you cover smaller places like Ballinger Common?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What accreditations do you have?
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 my air conditioning icing up?
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 isn’t it, we will find the cause.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.

System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
The drain is cleared, the pump tested and the fall checked until the condensate runs away properly. Failed pumps are replaced and test it before we leave.
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged and every step is recorded.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Ballinger Common.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Advice
What we are called out for in Ballinger Common
A unit that runs but doesn’t cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that cannot breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Testing tells us which.
Customers normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A flashing light and a system that won’t run
- New noises from the system
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
The repair is written up: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Sensible use helps. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system doesn’t have to work as hard.
