Your questions about air conditioning repair in Little Hungerford
Will you come out to Little Hungerford?
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.
Do you cover Little Hungerford for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Little Hungerford is within the area we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.
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 circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 cannot be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a leak typically makes replacement the sensible route. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blockage, a kink or a pump that has stopped. Turn the system off to stop the water and give us a call.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Little Hungerford
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are drips from the indoor unit and a unit that won’t start.
Around Little Hungerford, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Related advice
Looking after your system
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
You get a note of the fault and what we did: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans what you cannot reach and picks up problems before they cause a breakdown and that’s typically simpler than a breakdown repair.

Do you need air conditioning repair in Little Hungerford?
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: flare connections, brazed joints and valves, or pipework damaged or rubbed through by vibration. Coils can corrode and leak too and many leaks are slow enough to go unnoticed for a while.
Look out for these signs:
- A fault code on the display
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A unit that will not start
For a school like Hermitage Primary School, urgent repairs can be booked right away and bigger work in the holidays.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
