How the visit works
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Ingatestone.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

How we handle air conditioning repair in Ingatestone
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. It doesn’t matter who installed it, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, heat pumps and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are water dripping from the indoor unit and ice on the pipework or the coil.
Outdoor units around Ingatestone often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. That is one of the first things we check.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What air conditioning will not do
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- A supply fault outside the property
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Ingatestone questions
Will you come out to Ingatestone?
Yes. Ingatestone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is Ingatestone in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: Ingatestone falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.

Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
How we price air conditioning repair
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
