Signs you need air conditioning repair in Islip

Advice
Islip: your questions answered
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Islip?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Islip. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Do you cover smaller places like Islip?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Tell us the code, the make and the model and we will test the system to confirm the cause.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.

Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Your installation or service records
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Looking after your system
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Have the system serviced once a year
Where a repair isn’t worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. We can quote for a replacement system on the same visit where that is the better answer.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
A customer’s words
“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.”
