Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Ellingham
A symptom is only a clue: warm air, drips and error codes can each have several causes. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, so we diagnose before we repair. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, heat pumps and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are a system that keeps cutting out and weak airflow from the indoor unit.
A visit to Ellingham is planned so we can usually finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What affects the cost of air conditioning repair
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- How easy the units are to reach
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
For landlords and property managers
From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Hampshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.

Air conditioning repair in Ellingham: the local picture
2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Ellingham. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Ellingham, Church of St Mary (grade I) among them. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. About 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
When cooling fails at a school like Ringwood School Academy, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.
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
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive, and we tidy up before we leave. For a village like Ellingham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Ellingham questions
Will you come out to Ellingham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Ellingham for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Ellingham is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, and if that does not fix it, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
