We reply to enquiries the same working day. Typical jobs include water dripping from the indoor unit and a unit that barely blows any air, on wall-mounted split systems, heat pumps and VRF systems.

Common problems we fix in Great Shefford
Some faults stop the unit completely: fan motors, boards, interconnecting cables and tripped breakers. A breaker that trips a second time should be left off and call us.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- A system that will not switch on
- Water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling
- A unit blowing warm air
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
What a repair looks like in Great Shefford
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs. St Thomas' Church, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 17 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Great Shefford’s centre. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first.
If a system fails at a school such as Shefford C.E. Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Great Shefford: your questions answered
Do you cover Great Shefford for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Great Shefford is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Will you come out to Great Shefford?
Yes. Great Shefford 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 it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded, and we tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it on an older system.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. A fault that does not involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak usually means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that is the answer.
System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted splits are the systems we repair most often. Typical faults include blocked drains, dirty coils and filters, failed fan motors, sensor faults and refrigerant leaks and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair is not a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. That is why we repair the leak first.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. We plan the trip to Great Shefford around you.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
Advice
What air conditioning repair can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
