Fareham Common air conditioning repair
We cover Fareham Common for fault finding and repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF air conditioning, whatever the brand. A look at the job first, a fixed-price quote and written records at the end.
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
What the work involves, system by system
Multi-split systems
A multi-split links several indoor units to one outdoor unit, so we check whether the fault is in one room or the shared outdoor unit. It tells us where to look first.
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.
About our air conditioning repair in Fareham Common
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are ice on the pipework or the coil and a unit that barely blows any air.
Outdoor units around Fareham Common often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. We check the coil early on.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

When air con fails in Fareham Common
At about 1 mile from the coast, Fareham Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Corroded fins, fixings and electrical connections on outdoor units are more common near the sea, and they can cause faults.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring 07833 053749.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. 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.
Common questions in Fareham Common
Do you cover Fareham Common for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Fareham Common. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Will you come out to Fareham Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded and we will give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is usually the better answer. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.

What else we do in Fareham Common
After we’ve gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
- Stop the unit if water is coming through a ceiling
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. We do not promise dates we can’t control and we will keep you updated.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
What a customer said
“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.”
