Leave it or put it right?
The rules on refrigerant affect repairs. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. Getting the work done in Chichester before summer is the easy option.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Chichester
Do you cover Chichester for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Chichester. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Chichester?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes, repairs and recharges on existing R410A systems remain legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy and we talk through repair against replacement for older systems.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- No power to the building at all
Not sure which it is? You can ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Heat pumps
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. A visit in Chichester is booked for a time that suits you.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
How to get a quote
To get a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few pictures make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
- Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips
If parts are needed, we tell you what’s on order and book the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier and we’ll keep you updated.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance, so keep them clean as the manual describes.
