Air con repairs in Colney Heath

- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- A suspected refrigerant leak
Why act early in Colney Heath
R22 systems are a different case. R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant and new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system normally points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that is the right answer. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before we start.

Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Colney Heath
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A system with a failed fan motor may be well worth repairing, while one with a failed compressor might not be. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If the problem is a unit blowing warm air and water dripping from the indoor unit, we can sort it out.
A visit to Colney Heath is planned so we can usually finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Colney Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover Colney Heath for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Colney Heath is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is Colney Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
What air conditioning repair cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Ceiling cassettes
- Heat pumps
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems

When to call us in Colney Heath
Electrical faults can stop a system altogether: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us.
Look out for any of the following:
- Frost on the pipework
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- A suspected refrigerant leak
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
