Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Great Holcombe
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guessing is expensive, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. The work covers multi-split systems, heat pumps and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are a system that won’t switch on and an error code or flashing light on the unit.
We plan the trip to Great Holcombe so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

FAQs for Great Holcombe
Can you do air conditioning repair in Great Holcombe?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Great Holcombe is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to Great Holcombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model and we will test the system to confirm the cause.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is typically the better answer. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we’ll quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- No power to the building at all
If you’re not sure, just call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Great Holcombe.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Related advice
After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
Keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear after the repair: clean filters every few weeks in heavy use and space around the outdoor unit. A yearly service catches problems before they become breakdowns.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips and the manual shows how to clean them.
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 with age or after electrical problems.
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and every step is recorded.
What a repair looks like in Great Holcombe
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 40% of homes in and around Great Holcombe to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 85% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Church of St Giles, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 13 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Great Holcombe’s centre. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
A unit that keeps tripping or showing the same code is worth a proper diagnosis. A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
