Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Five Oak Green
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. Warm air can mean anything from a dirty filter to a sensor, board or refrigerant fault, which is why diagnosis comes first. If the problem is poor airflow even with clean filters and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units in a place like Five Oak Green can be near hedges and fields, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

How the job changes from property to property
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. Sensor faults can stop the system or confuse it, and boards can fail after a power surge or with age.
Condensate drains and pumps
The condensate drain is behind most indoor unit leaks. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.

Common questions in Five Oak Green
Is Five Oak Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Five Oak Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is Five Oak Green in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Five Oak Green is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak normally means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which and you get a fixed price before the repair.

Signs you need air conditioning repair in Five Oak Green
Some faults stop the unit completely: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. A breaker that trips a second time should be left off until an engineer has looked at it.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- A unit that barely blows any air
- A system that will not switch on
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
What air conditioning repair can’t fix
Air conditioning repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A supply fault outside the property
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
