How we handle air conditioning repair in Mortimer
Across Mortimer, every repair begins with a diagnosis: the engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, the airflow, the condensate drain and the refrigerant pressures and temperatures. After that, you get a plain explanation and a fixed price for the repair. The work covers ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are weak airflow from the indoor unit and a unit blowing warm air.
We prepare for a visit to Mortimer from the make and model you give us, and any part that needs ordering is priced before it’s fitted.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Questions from Mortimer
Do you cover smaller places like Mortimer?
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.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Mortimer out of hours?
Mortimer is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Turn it off, let the ice melt and phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but it is not the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, and phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What happens on the day
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Mortimer.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once agreed, the repair goes ahead.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
- Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips
- Book an annual service after the repair
Where a repair isn’t worth doing, we say so, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Don’t ignore early signs. A drip, a new noise, a weaker airflow or an occasional error code is often the first sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair simpler.

System by system
Refrigerant leaks
A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. We find it, repair it, pressure test the circuit, evacuate it and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.
Wall-mounted split systems
The indoor and outdoor units of a split communicate through a cable. A break in that communication usually brings up an error code, and we test the cable, the boards and the connections to find the cause.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
