How we handle air conditioning repair in Coombe
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. We look at the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and how well the system suits the room, then give you an honest view. Common call-outs are for a flashing light and a system that won’t run and new noises from the system, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
Air conditioning repairs in Coombe are often in flats, offices and shops, with outdoor units on balconies, rear walls or flat roofs. Knowing where the outdoor unit sits, and how to get to it, helps us plan the repair.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Why deal with it now?
R22 systems are a different case. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system typically points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that’s the right answer. Hot weather is when everyone in London wants air conditioning, so it’s easier to plan the work in Coombe early.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.

- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Coombe
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Coombe?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Coombe. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Coombe?
The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details and pictures. Where photos are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
There are several possible causes, from simple to serious. Diagnosis confirms the cause, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
It normally points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
When air con fails in Coombe
About 43% of homes in the Coombe area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the last census (2021) found about 54% of households live in flats. Outdoor units serving flats can be awkward to reach, so let us know where yours is. London repairs often depend on reaching the outdoor unit, so access details help us plan. On the National Heritage List, around 4 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Coombe; Coombe House (st Margaret's School) (grade II) is one. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller. If a system fails at a school such as Coombe Wood School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Before you call an engineer
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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.
