How we handle air conditioning repair in Fareham
Across Fareham, every repair begins with a diagnosis: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. If you are dealing with a system that won’t switch on and a unit that has lost refrigerant, we can help.
If your system in Fareham shows an error code, take a photo of it and of the label on the side of the unit. We can then see the make, model and refrigerant, which helps us plan.
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’re happy to talk you through them.

When air con fails in Fareham
Fareham is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and connections, which is one of the things we check on a repair. About 4 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Fareham, Church of the Holy Trinity (grade II*) among them. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 50% of homes across Fareham and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 63% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. If the outdoor unit is high up or behind a locked gate, mention it when you book.
Shops and offices around Fareham station often can’t wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for. Schools such as St Jude's Catholic Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts, and we clear up before we go. Photos of an existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing in Fareham.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- The repair is carried out, and any refrigerant work is leak tested and recorded.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What air conditioning repair can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Heat pumps
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a fault seldom makes it go away. A drip can turn into a damaged ceiling, and a slow leak can leave the compressor straining and early diagnosis normally keeps the repair simpler. Dealing with it now is normally simpler than a breakdown later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
