How the job changes from property to property
Condensate drains and pumps
We clear the drain, test the pump and check the fall until the condensate runs away properly. If a pump has failed, we replace it and tested before we go.
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. We test each run to find it before the system is repaired, tested and recharged.
Air conditioning repair in Bidborough
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 locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge and write it up in the F-Gas records. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and heat pumps, and people most often call us about water dripping from the indoor unit and a system that keeps cutting out.
Around Bidborough, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
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.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Air conditioning repair around Bidborough
The centre of Bidborough lies within a conservation area. Parish Church of St Lawrence, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 24 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Bidborough’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. VOA council tax data put about 36% of homes across Bidborough and its surrounding area before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
When cooling fails at a school like Southborough CofE Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts.

Can you do air conditioning repair in Bidborough?
Yes, Bidborough is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to Bidborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
