When to call us in Horton Kirby
Water dripping from an indoor unit is usually about the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that is not level are the usual causes, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Frost on the pipework
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- A fault code on the display
Schools such as Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.

Air conditioning repair in Horton Kirby, done properly
Older systems raise a fair question: repair or replace?. A fan fault on an older unit can be worth fixing, while a compressor failure may tip the balance. We look at the fault, the parts, the refrigerant and how well the system suits the room, then give you an honest view. Typical jobs include poor airflow even with clean filters and a flashing light and a system that won’t run, across multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and heat pumps.
Around Horton Kirby, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, and a coil clogged with leaves or seeds is a common cause of weak cooling.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. For a village like Horton Kirby, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: fault codes read, electrics and airflow checked, drain and refrigerant tested.
- Then the prescription: what’s wrong and what it will cost to put right.
- Where a repair doesn’t make sense, you will hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Then the fix, with leaks repaired before any refrigerant is added.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

FAQs for Horton Kirby
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Horton Kirby out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Horton Kirby. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Is Horton Kirby in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Horton Kirby is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Why deal with it now?
Running with a fault wastes electricity. Poor airflow or low refrigerant means more running time for less effect, and the extra strain can shorten the life of the compressor. Booking before summer means the work in Horton Kirby is done before the hot weather.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
