- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Air conditioning repair in Curridge
Age alone does not decide whether a repair is worth it. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. If the problem is a unit that has lost refrigerant and a noisy indoor or outdoor unit, we can sort it out.
Around Curridge, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Curridge
Will you come out to Curridge?
Yes. Curridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Curridge out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Curridge. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
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 are members of Checkatrade too.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and ring us on 07833 053749.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Common problems we fix in Curridge
A unit that runs but doesn’t cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that cannot breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Testing tells us which.
Common reasons people call us are:
- A flashing light and a system that won’t run
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
When cooling fails at a school like Curridge Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Curridge.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

What else we do in Curridge
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
