Air conditioning repair for homes and businesses in Snargate
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too and the make and model help us prepare. We’re often asked to deal with a fault code on the display and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
We plan the trip to Snargate so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Signs you need air conditioning repair in Snargate
Some faults stop the unit completely: a failed fan motor, a fault on a circuit board, a damaged cable between the units or a tripped circuit. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A fault code on the display
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
- New noises from the system
Weak cooling, water dripping from the indoor unit and error codes are the faults we are called about most.
What your quote should include
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. 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. Visits to Snargate are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- The fix goes in, with any refrigerant work tested and written into the F-Gas records.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Related advice
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak only delays the next breakdown and the gas simply leaks out again. That is why we repair the leak first.
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Before blaming the compressor, we check the electrics and the refrigerant circuit. If it has failed, we compare the cost of repair with replacement.
Questions from Snargate
Do you cover Snargate for air conditioning repair?
Yes. Snargate is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Do you cover Snargate for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Snargate is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What causes water to leak from an air conditioning unit?
Normally 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 call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
How long does the work take?
The work itself takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How much is an air conditioning call-out?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, followed by a fixed price for the repair. You decide before any repair work starts.
When air con fails in Snargate
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Wall bracket, ground pad or flat roof: knowing where the outdoor unit is saves time on the day. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 5 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Dunstan (grade II*). Day-to-day work on an existing system is not affected; a replacement outdoor unit on a protected building might be.
If the display shows a code, write it down: it helps narrow down the fault.

What air conditioning repair can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
- A supply fault outside the property
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will say what we think before you book.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
