How we handle air conditioning repair in Penshurst

Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. Once we know the cause, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. Common call-outs are for a system that keeps cutting out and weak airflow from the indoor unit, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.

Around Penshurst, outdoor units often sit close to gardens and hedges, so leaves, seeds and cobwebs on the coil are worth checking first.

If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How it works

Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Penshurst.

  1. It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
  2. On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
  3. You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
  4. The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
  5. We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
  • Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
  • Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working

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.

How does the warranty work?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll agree the next steps with you.

Why is not my air con cooling?

It could be a dirty filter, the wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Check the filter and the settings first, and if that doesn’t fix it, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

What does F-Gas certified mean?

Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.

Why deal with it now?

If the system may still be under the manufacturer’s warranty, report the fault early. Send us the make, model and installation date and we’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply first. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.

System by system

Multi-split systems

Refrigerant leaks on a multi-split can be anywhere on several pipe runs. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.

Refrigerant leaks

A low refrigerant charge always means a leak. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged, and the work is recorded in the F-Gas records.

From one of our customers

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
