About our air conditioning repair in Salvington
A sealed system shouldn’t lose refrigerant, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We locate the leak, repair it, test, evacuate and recharge and write it up in the F-Gas records. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are weak airflow from the indoor unit and ice forming on the indoor unit or pipes.
We prepare for a visit to Salvington from the make and model you give us, and any part that needs ordering is priced before it’s fitted.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. 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. After that, it takes an hour or two to diagnose most faults, with the repair time depending on what we find. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Salvington.
- 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.
- We explain the cause and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work goes ahead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear access to the fuse board

Advice
How we price air conditioning repair
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- What kind of system it is
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
How the job changes from property to property
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown, and it releases more refrigerant into the air. That’s why we repair the leak first.
Fans and compressors
Fans are the moving parts most likely to wear, and the first sign is often noise or weak airflow. A worn fan motor can typically be replaced where the parts are available.

Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
Air conditioning repair in Salvington: the local picture
Salvington lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corroded fins, fixings and electrical connections on outdoor units are more common near the sea, and they can cause faults. Salvington’s centre falls inside the Salvington Conservation Area. Draw a one-mile circle round the middle of Salvington and it takes in 3 conservation areas. About 12 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Salvington, The Old House (grade II) among them. Should a unit ever need replacing on a listed building or in a conservation area, ask us about consent first. VOA council tax data date about 40% of homes in the Salvington area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day.
The rating label on the unit gives the model number, which helps us bring the right parts. When cooling fails at a school like Durrington Infant School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.

Your questions about air conditioning repair in Salvington
Is Salvington within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Salvington?
It can. Salvington is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Typically a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that is not level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Turn it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
It can be anything from a dirty filter to a refrigerant leak. We read any fault code and test the system to find which, then give you a fixed price to fix it.
