About our air conditioning repair in Charlton-in-Dover
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that doesn’t fix it, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. You will hear back from us the same working day. Common call-outs are for a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and weak airflow from the indoor unit, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and heat pumps.
In a place like Charlton-in-Dover, repairs are usually for home systems and the odd shop or office. We plan the visit from what you tell us about the fault, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.

Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Pricing air conditioning repair in Charlton-in-Dover
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- What electrical work the job needs
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The condition of any existing system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
