Air conditioning repair in Brading, done properly
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then call us on 07833 053749 if the problem is still there. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. The work covers ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and people most often call us about a system that keeps cutting out and water dripping from the indoor unit.
Around Brading, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

When air con fails in Brading
Brading is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. Central Brading is inside a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 63 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Brading; Church of St Mary (grade I) is one. Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.

Brading: your questions answered
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Brading?
It can, as Brading is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Do you cover smaller places like Brading?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. If a lane or gateway near Brading is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
How to prepare
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Other services in Brading
What air conditioning repair can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- No power to the building at all
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- An old system with obsolete parts
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- VRF systems

Common problems we fix in Brading
Noises typically have a mechanical cause. Worn fan bearings, loose panels, debris in the outdoor fan or pipework vibrating against the building are common and some point to a compressor problem.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
If a system fails at a school such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
What your quote should include
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.
Circuit boards and sensors
Testing comes before any part is replaced because swapping parts on a guess wastes money. Parts may need ordering and we will explain any wait.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
