About our air conditioning repair in Sevenoaks
Think of it as a doctor’s appointment for your air conditioning: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guessing is expensive, and topping up refrigerant on a system with a blocked filter fixes nothing. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling.
For a repair in Sevenoaks, a photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label is a great start. We can then see the make, model and refrigerant, so we can plan the visit properly.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Looking after your system
Systems last better with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the filter, the mode and the set temperature before calling us
- Only let an F-Gas qualified engineer work on the refrigerant
- Don’t keep resetting a breaker that trips
The repair is written up: the cause, the parts fitted and any refrigerant added or recovered. Refrigerant work goes into the F-Gas records, so keep the note with the system’s paperwork.
Filter cleaning is the simplest prevention there is. Blocked filters cut airflow, which can lead to poor cooling, ice on the coil and drips and the manual shows how to clean them.
Questions from Sevenoaks
Is Sevenoaks in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Sevenoaks is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for air conditioning repair in Sevenoaks?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
The coil gets too cold when air cannot move across it or when the refrigerant charge is low. Check the filter first, and if it’s clean, the system needs a diagnosis.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Most of the time, it’s the condensate system: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we will gladly show you ours.

What happens if it’s left?
A struggling system costs more to run. Poor airflow or low refrigerant means more running time for less effect and the extra work wears the parts faster. In a town like Sevenoaks, the first hot week of the year is when most people call, so booking early helps.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. In a town like Sevenoaks, parking is typically straightforward, so the main questions are access and timing.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

The centre of Sevenoaks lies within a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 26 within half a mile of the centre, such as Bradbourne Farmhouse (grade II*). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that. The last census (2021) found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Let us know where the outdoor unit sits and whether a ladder is needed to reach it.
Near Sevenoaks station, as anywhere, a photo of the error code on the controller is the quickest way to start a repair. If a system fails at a school such as Sevenoaks Primary School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.
