What affects the quote in Cray's Pond
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Cray's Pond
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that does not fix it, phone 07833 053749. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. The work covers ceiling cassettes, heat pumps and ducted systems, and people most often call us about water dripping from the indoor unit and a unit that won’t start.
A visit to Cray's Pond is planned so we can typically finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Different systems, different jobs
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. That’s why we repair the leak first.
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. A worn fan motor can normally be replaced, depending on parts availability.

What else we do in Cray's Pond
How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Cray's Pond.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- 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.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
It starts with a diagnosis call-out from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Why is not my air con cooling?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, then ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier if it’s still not cooling.
