How we handle air conditioning repair in Purley
Diagnosis call-outs start from £75 + VAT. When the cause is found, the repair is priced before anything else is done and nothing goes ahead without your say-so. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about a unit that barely blows any air and a system that needs topping up again.
Many buildings in Purley have a managing agent or security desk, so let us know who needs to know we’re coming. Roof access can need keys or permits, which is worth sorting before the visit.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.

Questions from Purley
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Purley?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Simple jobs can be priced from pictures; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Purley?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Purley. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Servicing with new R22 isn’t allowed, because it depletes the ozone layer. A fault that doesn’t involve the refrigerant may still be repairable, depending on parts, but a refrigerant leak usually means replacement. We explain the options and quote for a new system if that’s the answer.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Air conditioning repairs in Purley: local notes
2 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Purley. On the National Heritage List, around 3 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Purley. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 31% of homes in the Purley area date from 1919 to 1939, and about 62% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. In London, access to outdoor units on roofs and balconies can need planning, so tell us how to reach yours.

System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
The single split is the most common system we are called to. Drains, coils, fans, sensors and leaks account for many of the faults and the diagnosis starts with the fault code and the symptoms.
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Pricing air conditioning repair in Purley
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The number of rooms, units or zones
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Some blocks in Purley need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
