Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer?

You will hear back from us the same working day. We’re often asked to deal with weak airflow from the indoor unit and ice on the pipework or the coil, across wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
A visit to Hinksey Hill is planned so we can normally finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.

The process
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Hinksey Hill so we arrive with what’s needed.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- If the repair isn’t worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

When air con fails in Hinksey Hill
VOA council tax data put about 39% of homes in and around Hinksey Hill before 1919, and about 41% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). With a terrace, access to the rear for the outdoor unit is the main thing to tell us. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Lawrence (grade II*). For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building.
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair. If a system fails at a school such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Aftercare tips
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Rule out the simple causes first: filter, mode and temperature
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Note any error code, or take a photo of the display
Where a repair needs parts, we explain what’s been ordered and agree the return visit with you. Parts lead times depend on the supplier and we’ll keep you updated.
Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.
Hinksey Hill: your questions answered
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Hinksey Hill?
Hinksey Hill 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.
Is Hinksey Hill within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
Servicing with new R22 is not allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak typically makes replacement the sensible route. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that is the answer.
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 is not the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
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, then ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier if it’s still not cooling.
System by system
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.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is typically behind it, and we check all three.
What affects the quote in Hinksey Hill
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The pipe route between the units
- The size of the job
- The equipment or parts the job needs
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
What a customer said
