Your questions about air conditioning repair in Labour-in-vain
Is Labour-in-vain in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Labour-in-vain is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will you come out to Labour-in-vain?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
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. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that is not level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump 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 accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.

Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Labour-in-vain
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
A returning symptom is worth reporting quickly. Let us know what the system is doing and any code on the display and we will come back to it.
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.
