What air conditioning will not do
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
- No power to the building at all
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers

How we handle air conditioning repair in Rowstock
A diagnosis call-out is 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. We’re often asked to deal with a flashing light and a system that won’t run and a system that won’t switch on, across ducted systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
We plan the trip to Rowstock so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
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 any chargeable work goes ahead.

What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Rowstock easier.
- Diagnosis comes first: codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- Prescribe: tell you the cause and the fixed cost of the cure.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- The treatment: the repair itself, with any leak found and fixed before recharging.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a price
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Rowstock
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Rowstock
Can you do air conditioning repair in Rowstock?
Yes. Rowstock is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Rowstock?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Rowstock. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
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 we’re called out for in Rowstock
When the fan runs but the air is not cold, there are some common causes: dirty filters, wrong settings, a blocked outdoor unit, a sensor or board fault, or a refrigerant leak. Diagnosis narrows it down.
What we’re most often called about:
- Frost on the pipework
- Rattling, buzzing or grinding noises
- Drips from the indoor unit
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
