Chatham air conditioning repair
For fault finding and repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF air conditioning, whatever the brand in Chatham, one call is all it takes: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.

- A unit blowing warm air

What happens if it’s left?
For a newer system, a fault may be covered on the manufacturer’s terms. Tell us the make, model and install date, and we will explain how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work. Booking before summer means the work in Chatham is done before you need it.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Air conditioning repair in Chatham
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 does not fix it, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If you’re dealing with poor airflow even with clean filters and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises, we can help.
We repair the major brands of air conditioning around Chatham, from one bedroom unit to a full multi-split. Where an old unit isn’t worth repairing, you’ll get an honest view and a price for replacing it.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.
Questions from Chatham
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Chatham?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Chatham. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you cover Chatham for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Chatham is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead. The cost depends on the fault, the parts and access to the units.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we’re happy to show ours.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
When to call us in Chatham
Water dripping from an indoor unit is normally about the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that isn’t level are the usual causes, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
What we are most often called about:
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- A system that keeps cutting out
If a system fails at a school such as Wayfield Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards

How it works
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. For a visit in Chatham, let us know where we can park and how to reach the outdoor unit.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
