System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
The drain is cleared, the pump tested and the fall checked until the condensate runs away properly. Failed pumps are replaced and test it before we leave.
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 every step is recorded.
Your questions about air conditioning repair in Charing
Do you cover smaller places like Charing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you cover Charing for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Charing. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
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 you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Charing.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Pricing air conditioning repair in Charing
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Good photos often save a visit. Try to include:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Leave it or put it right?
Small faults rarely stay small. A blocked drain becomes water damage, and a slow leak drains the refrigerant until the compressor is working far harder than it should and early diagnosis normally keeps the repair simpler. For a place like Charing, booking ahead lets us plan the visit properly.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed price.
