Air conditioning repair in Lee-on-the-Solent
When air conditioning stops cooling, leaks water or shows an error code, the symptom rarely tells you the cause. A unit blowing warm air might have a blocked filter, a failed sensor, a fault on the circuit board or a refrigerant leak, so we diagnose before we repair. We are often asked to deal with new noises from the system and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room, across wall-mounted split systems, heat pumps and ceiling cassettes.
In a place like Lee-on-the-Solent, repairs are normally for home systems and the odd shop or office. We plan the visit from what you tell us about the fault, so describe what it’s doing and send a photo of any error code.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Lee-on-the-Solent?
Refrigerant leaks often start at joints: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Coils can corrode and leak too, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- A fault code on the display
- A system that keeps cutting out
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is based on a survey, photos or a diagnosis

What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.

FAQs for Lee-on-the-Solent
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Lee-on-the-Solent?
It can. Lee-on-the-Solent is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Is Lee-on-the-Solent within the area you cover?
Yes. Lee-on-the-Solent is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long does the visit take?
That depends on what’s involved, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Do you have a 24/7 line for breakdowns?
Yes, 24/7. Urgent cases include water leaking through a ceiling or a server or comms room overheating and we will tell you what to do first. The number is 07833 053749.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How the visit works
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. We load the van from the survey notes so the work in Lee-on-the-Solent can be done in one go where possible.

Advice
Why act early in Lee-on-the-Solent
The rules on refrigerant affect repairs. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal, but R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement. Planning ahead for a job near Lee-on-the-Solent means we can arrive with everything needed.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

“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.”
