How we price air conditioning repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The size of the job
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk for straight advice and a fixed price.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- 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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Epping Upland can be planned properly.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

FAQs for Epping Upland
Will you come out to Epping Upland?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Epping Upland out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Epping Upland. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak typically makes replacement the sensible route. We’ll set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
How long does the work take?
On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
What we’re called out for in Epping Upland
Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that isn’t level are the usual causes, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Look out for these signs:
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

Different systems, different jobs
Circuit boards and sensors
We test sensors and boards before replacing them, so you don’t pay for a part that wasn’t the problem. Some parts need ordering from the manufacturer and we’ll explain any wait.
Multi-split systems
On a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves several indoor units, so we check whether the fault is in one room or the shared outdoor unit. It tells us where to look first.
What a customer said
“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.”
