How we price air conditioning repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many units are involved
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The condition of any existing system
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Gravesend
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. You get an honest view based on the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and the room. Typical jobs include weak airflow from the indoor unit and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, across ducted systems, VRF systems and multi-split systems.
Around Gravesend, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Does servicing affect my warranty?

Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Why act early in Gravesend
Refrigerant supply is changing. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens and we weigh that up when we advise you. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

Common problems we fix in Gravesend
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.

- A unit that won’t start
- A system that needs topping up again
- Poor airflow even with clean filters

- 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.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
