Air conditioning repair in Barford St John
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge and write it up in the F-Gas records. If the problem is ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can sort it out.
A visit to Barford St John is planned so we can usually finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
Common causes are 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. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that does not fix it, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
After a repair, the basics matter: clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should. An annual service is the best way to catch the next fault before it stops the system.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips and the manual shows how to clean them.
