- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
- Ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes
- A system that runs but doesn’t cool the room
What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. If your building in Orpington has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- You tell us the symptoms, the make and any error code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Orpington
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: diagnose the cause, treat it properly and sign it off when it’s working. Guesswork costs money, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. Typical jobs include new noises from the system and an error code or flashing light on the unit, on ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and ducted systems.
Many buildings in Orpington have a managing agent or security desk, so tell us who controls access. Roof access can need keys or permits, which is worth sorting before the visit.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Air conditioning repair in Orpington: the local picture
The Priory, Orpington Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Orpington, within about a third of a mile. 5 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Orpington. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 10 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of All Saints (grade II*). Swapping an outdoor unit on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent, so we’ll flag it if a replacement is needed. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 39% of homes in and around Orpington date from 1919 to 1939, and about 64% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit. In London buildings, outdoor units can be on roofs or in light wells, so let us know where yours is.
When cooling fails at a school like Perry Hall Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons. Shops and offices around St Mary Cray station often cannot wait for cooling to come back, which is what the 24/7 line is for.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
What air conditioning won’t do
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
- 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 refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is usually the answer)
If you are not sure, just call 07833 053749 or send an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Heat pumps
- VRF systems

Questions from Orpington
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Orpington?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Orpington. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
How do I get a quote for air conditioning repair in Orpington?
Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Do you look at the job first?
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.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. As the GB phase-down continues, R410A is getting harder and dearer to buy and we talk through repair against replacement for older systems.
Why is there ice on my air conditioning pipes?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
How long does the work take?
On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
From one of our customers
