How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: 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. It 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. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Stone when you book.
- Tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and send a photo of the display if you can.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- 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.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Air conditioning repair in Stone
Wondering whether the fault is something simple? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, and if that doesn’t fix it, call 07833 053749 or email us. You will hear back from us the same working day. If you’re dealing with air conditioning running but not cooling and a unit that won’t start, we can help.
In a place like Stone, outdoor units can be close to hedges and gardens, and leaves or grass cuttings on the coil are a common reason for poor cooling. We check the coil early on.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Rented and managed buildings
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 can work for either side.
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.

What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What causes ice on the indoor coil?
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 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
What a repair looks like in Stone
The 2021 Census found about 35% of households in terraced houses. On terraced streets, outdoor units are normally at the back, so tell us how we get to the rear of the property. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). We keep it in mind in case a new outdoor unit is ever needed, as protected buildings can need consent for that.
