How we handle air conditioning repair in Northway
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. If the problem is water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a unit that won’t start, we can sort it out.
Outdoor units around Northway often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, where leaves and cuttings can clog the coil and cut the cooling. We check the coil early on.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Northway
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 can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Northway questions
Do you cover Northway for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Northway is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Northway?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Northway is one of the places it covers. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
How the job changes from property to property
VRF systems
On larger VRF systems, the refrigerant charge can be big enough to need regular leak checks under the F-gas rules. Any leak we find and repair is recorded, and the operator keeps the records.
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we’re called to. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. We plan the visit to Northway from the survey or your pictures.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- With your go-ahead, we carry out the repair, recording any refrigerant work.
- It’s tested running, and the write-up is left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Advice
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A leak on an old R22 system
- A supply fault outside the property
If you are not sure, just call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.
