Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.
Wall-mounted split systems
On a wall-mounted split, the indoor and outdoor units talk to each other through a control cable. Communication faults show up as error codes, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
Air conditioning repair in Egerton Forstal, done properly
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, which is why diagnosis comes first. If the problem is a unit that has lost refrigerant and poor airflow even with clean filters, we can sort it out.
Around Egerton Forstal, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own 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 Egerton Forstal
Do you cover smaller places like Egerton Forstal?
Yes. Egerton Forstal 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 Egerton Forstal out of hours?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Egerton Forstal. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens and we talk through repair against replacement for older systems.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
How long does the work take?
It depends on the job, but as a guide it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. We’ll give you a firmer idea when we quote.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air can’t move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first and if that isn’t it, we will find the cause.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
After the repair, the system is run and checked in every mode it has. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention, and we tell you about anything we noticed.
Use the system sensibly. Moderate settings and a closed room mean less strain and the system does not have to work as hard.
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Visits to Egerton Forstal are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you will 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically 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.
