Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Fordwich
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. Typical jobs include rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and frost on the pipework, on ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
A visit to Fordwich is planned so we can usually finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send 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.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We plan the trip to Fordwich around you.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

Some jobs can be priced from pictures, 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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Common questions in Fordwich
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Fordwich?
Fordwich is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Is Fordwich within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Typically a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Write down the fault code if there is one
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We check it’s cooling or heating as it should and that the fault hasn’t left anything else behind and point out anything else we spotted.
Do not ignore early signs. Drips, noises, weak airflow and error codes are early warnings, and early diagnosis normally means a smaller repair.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning repair won’t do:
- A building problem rather than a system fault
- A discontinued model with no parts available
- No power to the building at all
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
