Air conditioning repair in Markyate, done properly

Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, then call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk if the problem is still there. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If you are dealing with a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and a unit that barely blows any air, we can sort it out.

Around Markyate, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. We plan the visit from what you tell us about the fault, so a description and a photo of any error code really help.

We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Air conditioning repair around Markyate

The middle of Markyate is part of the Markyate Conservation Area. Church of St. John the Baptist, listed at grade II*, is one of roughly 42 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Markyate’s centre. Day-to-day work on an existing system isn’t affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be. About 28 miles out from central London, Markyate is part of the South East area we work across.

The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us. If a system fails at a school such as Markyate Village School and Nursery, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

Aftercare tips

So the system stays in good health:

  • Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
  • Write down the fault code if there is one
  • Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends

You get a note of the fault and what we did: what was wrong, what was replaced and any refrigerant work. Any refrigerant work is recorded in the F-Gas records and it belongs with the system’s paperwork.

Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.

FAQs for Markyate

Can you do air conditioning repair in Markyate?

We do: Markyate falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

Will you come out to Markyate?

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.

How long will you be on site?

On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.

Which accreditations do you hold?

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.

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.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

What happens on the day

Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. In a place like Markyate, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.

  1. You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
  2. On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
  3. The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
  4. With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
  5. The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
  • Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
  • Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Related advice

Safe owner checks

Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.

Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

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.”
