System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
Air conditioning repair in Caversham Park Village
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. We are often asked to deal with water dripping from the indoor unit and a system that won’t switch on, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and heat pumps.
For a repair near Caversham Park Village, we bring the common parts and tools for the make you have, and if a part has to be ordered, we tell you the price before we fit it.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Visits to a place like Caversham Park Village are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Caversham Park Village
Is Caversham Park Village within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Caversham Park Village?
Yes, Caversham Park Village is within the area we cover. To start, ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is typically the better investment.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
You get a note of the fault and what we did: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.
Have the system serviced once a year. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early and that is usually simpler than a breakdown repair.

“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.”
