- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.

What air conditioning repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Cold Harbour
Do you cover smaller places like Cold Harbour?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Cold Harbour for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Cold Harbour is one of the places we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. R22 can’t be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we’ll quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.

What a repair looks like in Cold Harbour
Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Cuckoo Wood Farmhouse (grade II). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Weak cooling, water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes are the faults we are called about most.
