- A suspected refrigerant leak
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book an annual service after the repair
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
Once the fault is fixed, we test the system in operation. We confirm it’s working properly and look for anything else that needs attention and point out anything else we spotted.
Use the system sensibly. Choose the right mode and a moderate set temperature, and keep doors and windows closed while it runs and the system does not have to work as hard.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Holtsmere End
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, which is why diagnosis comes first. We are often asked to deal with a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and poor airflow even with clean filters, across heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems.
Around Holtsmere End, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?

Why use an F-Gas certified company?
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.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.

How the job changes from property to property
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
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. For a village like Holtsmere End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Sign off: prove it works and record the visit.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
