Air conditioning repair in Old Shoreham, 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, and if that doesn’t fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If the problem is a unit blowing warm air and drips from the indoor unit, we can help.

A visit to Old Shoreham is planned so we can normally finish in one go, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.

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.

Honest limits

Not every problem is solved by air conditioning repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
  • A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
  • Cooling that falls short because the system is too small

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

  • Multi-split systems
  • Ducted systems

FAQs for Old Shoreham

Does sea air affect air conditioning in Old Shoreham?

It can. Old Shoreham is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.

Do you cover smaller places like Old Shoreham?

Yes. Old Shoreham 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 do you keep the place clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.

How soon will you get back to me?

On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.

How does the warranty work?

It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.

My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?

R22 is an ozone-depleting refrigerant, and new R22 can’t be used for servicing. Some non-refrigerant faults can be repaired if parts are available, but a refrigerant leak typically means replacement. We will set out the options and quote for a replacement where it makes sense.

Why isn’t my air con cooling?

Common causes are a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Start by checking the filter and the mode, then ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk if it’s still not cooling.

Rented and managed buildings

Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

How the visit works

Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Old Shoreham.

  1. You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
  2. A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
  3. You get the cause explained and a fixed price for the repair.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
  • Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice

Signs you need air conditioning repair in Old Shoreham

When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A flashing light and a system that will not run
  • A system that runs but does not cool the room
  • A noisy indoor or outdoor unit

When cooling fails at a school like Swiss Gardens Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

What to look for in a quote

  • Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
  • What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
  • Whether extra work needs your approval first
