Common questions in Highwood
Is Highwood in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Highwood is one of the places we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Highwood?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Highwood is one of the places it covers. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Which brands do you work with?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it is not the whole answer. Write down the code and turn the unit off if it has stopped, and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we will gladly show you ours.
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Highwood
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 rattling, buzzing or grinding noises and a unit that won’t start, on wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and heat pumps.
A visit to Highwood is planned so we can typically finish in one go, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Highwood.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air conditioning repairs in Highwood: local notes
Highwood’s centre falls inside the Western Escarpment Conservation Area. We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. The last census (2021) found about 84% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.

Common problems we fix in Highwood
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Coils can corrode and leak too and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
What we are most often called about:
- A fault code on the display
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
If a system fails at a school such as Poulner Infant School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Drains block with dirt and growth, pipes get kinked and pumps fail, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Highwood
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
