Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear debris away from the outdoor fan
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Ask for the leak to be found, not just a top-up
If the same symptom comes back, tell us right away. Let us know what the system is doing and any code on the display and we will come back to it.
Don’t ignore early signs. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Hazel Street
Refrigerant doesn’t get used up, so a low charge means a leak somewhere. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge and write it up in the F-Gas records. Common call-outs are for drips from the indoor unit and a suspected refrigerant leak, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
We plan the trip to Hazel Street so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Hazel Street: your questions answered
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Hazel Street out of hours?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Hazel Street is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Can you do air conditioning repair in Hazel Street?
We do: Hazel Street falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
When airflow drops or refrigerant is lost, the coil gets cold enough to ice. A dirty filter is worth checking first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
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.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why isn’t my air con cooling?
It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that doesn’t fix it, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What happens on the day
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Visits to Hazel Street are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

System by system
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. We always find and fix the leak first.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.

What else we do in Hazel Street
Owner checks or an engineer?
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What a repair looks like in Hazel Street
The middle of Hazel Street is part of a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 16 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Hazel Street; Sprivers Cottages (grade II) is one. If a repair turns into a replacement on a listed building or in a conservation area, we check the planning position before changing the outdoor unit. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 47% of homes across Hazel Street and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 78% 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.
If a system fails at a school such as Horsmonden Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays. If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
