Air conditioning repair in Banbury, done properly
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. The work covers heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about a fault code on the display and air conditioning running but not cooling.
For a repair in Banbury, a photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label is a great start. We can then see the make, model and refrigerant, which helps us plan.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, photos of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Let us know about side gates, ladders or locked areas at your property in Banbury.
- 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.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

What else we do in Banbury
For landlords and property managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
FAQs for Banbury
Is Banbury in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: Banbury falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Banbury?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
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 fixed price is built on it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
