Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will agree the next steps.

Questions from Kirby Cross
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Kirby Cross?
It can, as Kirby Cross is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Will you come out to Kirby Cross?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Any leak is repaired before recharging, and the work is recorded and we’ll give you an honest view on whether it’s worth it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Kirby Cross
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Kirby Cross.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- Where a repair does not make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the alternatives.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- Finally, a check that it’s working and a record of what we did.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
