About our air conditioning repair in Purbrook
For breakdowns that cannot wait, there’s a 24/7 emergency line, such as a server room overheating or water coming through a ceiling. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll agree the next steps. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and rattling, buzzing or grinding noises.
Shops, offices and homes in Purbrook all use the same basic kit: an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipes between them. The fault can be at either end, or in between, so testing comes before any new parts.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Purbrook: your questions answered
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Purbrook?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Purbrook. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Purbrook?
It can, as Purbrook is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. Corrosion on the outdoor unit is one of the things we check when we diagnose a fault.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Why is my air conditioning showing a fault code?
The code is the system’s own clue to the fault, but testing confirms the cause. Note the code and switch the system off if it isn’t working, then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find, and we tidy up before we leave. Access to the outdoor unit position is the main thing to tell us about in Purbrook.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Signs you need air conditioning repair in Purbrook
Some faults stop the unit completely: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off until an engineer has looked at it.
Common reasons people call us include:
- New noises from the system
- A fault code on the display
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
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. Leak repairs are written into the F-Gas records, and the operator keeps the records.
Condensate drains and pumps
Most water leaks from indoor units come back to the condensate system. Blockages, kinks and failed pumps are the usual causes, and a unit that has dropped out of level can leak.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- 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 power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
