Before you call an engineer
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. 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.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
About our air conditioning repair in Borehamwood
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, which is why diagnosis comes first. Common call-outs are for a suspected refrigerant leak and new noises from the system, on wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
Shops, offices and homes in Borehamwood all use the same basic kit: an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipes between them. A fault can be in any of them, which is why we test before we replace parts.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

When air con fails in Borehamwood
Tilehouse Farmhouse, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 4 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Borehamwood’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 51% of homes in Borehamwood and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Near Elstree & Borehamwood station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair. If a system fails at a school such as St Teresa Catholic Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Borehamwood questions
Do you cover Borehamwood for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Borehamwood is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Do you cover Borehamwood for emergency air conditioning repairs?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Borehamwood is one of the places it covers. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Who is responsible for 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 can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
How quickly will you reply?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. Check the filter first and if that isn’t it, we will find the cause.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.

What we do, step by step

- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you’ll 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
