Puddle Dock questions
Is Puddle Dock in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Puddle Dock is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Puddle Dock for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Puddle Dock. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Codes differ by brand, and the same code can cover several faults. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model and we will test the system to confirm the cause.
Is it legal to repair an R410A system?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens, so for older systems we compare the cost of a repair with a replacement.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Why does my air conditioning run but not cool?
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, then ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk if it’s still not cooling.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.

What else we do in Puddle Dock
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Some blocks in Puddle Dock need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- The system is run and checked in every mode, and we tell you about anything else we noticed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- If the breaker trips twice, leave it off
- Turn it off and let ice clear before the visit
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
A returning symptom is worth reporting quickly. Describe what’s happening and any error code and we will come back to it.
Clean the filters regularly. Clogged filters starve the unit of air, and that can cause ice, drips and poor performance and the manual shows how to clean them.
