- A system that needs topping up again
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Ice on the pipework or the coil
Rented and managed buildings
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Air conditioning repair in Rusthall
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Simply adding gas means it will leak away again. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. Typical jobs include a system that needs topping up again and air conditioning running but not cooling, across VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and heat pumps.
Outdoor units around Rusthall often sit near hedges, trees and lawns, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. That is one of the first things we check.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. Census 2021 figures found about 61% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find, and we clear up before we go. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Rusthall.
- 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.
- 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.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

FAQs for Rusthall
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Rusthall?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Rusthall is one of the places it covers. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Will you come out to Rusthall?
Yes. Rusthall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
It typically points to poor airflow or a refrigerant leak. A clogged filter, a fan problem or a leak are typical. Turn it off, let the ice melt and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and call 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning repair won’t do:
- A unit that was never big enough for the room
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that is for the network operator)
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
