What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually 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. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Curbridge
For breakdowns that can’t wait, there’s a 24/7 emergency line, from an overheating comms room to water leaking from a unit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code and we will talk you through what happens next. If you are dealing with air conditioning running but not cooling and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can help.
In a place like Curbridge, outdoor units can be close to hedges and gardens, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. We check the coil early on.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Questions from Curbridge
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Curbridge out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Curbridge. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Is Curbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a leak usually makes replacement the sensible route. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
How long does the work take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Typically a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that is not level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What the work involves, system by system
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, often starting with a noise or weaker airflow. Indoor and outdoor fan motors can usually be replaced where the parts are available.
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Curbridge when you book.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.

How to prepare

Getting a price
