For landlords and property managers
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Great Burstead
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. Common call-outs are for a unit that has lost refrigerant and air conditioning running but not cooling, on heat pumps, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
In a village like Great Burstead, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Different systems, different jobs
Fans and compressors
Fan motors and bearings wear over time, and the first sign is often noise or weak airflow. A worn fan motor can typically be replaced, depending on parts availability.
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.

Great Burstead questions
Will you come out to Great Burstead?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you cover Great Burstead for air conditioning repair?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Great Burstead is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first and if that is not it, we will find the cause.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
My system uses R410A. Can it still be repaired?
Yes. We find and fix the leak, then recharge with R410A and record it in the F-Gas records, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What happens on the day
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval.

For a place like Great Burstead, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
