Air con repairs in Swattenden
F-Gas certified and NICEIC approved, we cover Swattenden for fault finding and repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF air conditioning, whatever the brand. A fixed price before we start, and a 24/7 emergency line.
- A system that needs topping up again
- New noises from the system
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A supply fault outside the property
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 cannot be used for servicing, so replacement is normally the answer)
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Heat pumps

About our air conditioning repair in Swattenden
Refrigerant doesn’t 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 and write it up in the F-Gas records. We’re often asked to deal with a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room and a unit that won’t start, across heat pumps, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
We plan the trip to Swattenden so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, unless a part has to come from the manufacturer.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: 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.

Swattenden: your questions answered
Can you do air conditioning repair in Swattenden?
Yes. Swattenden is one of the places we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Swattenden?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Swattenden. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Swattenden and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Switch the unit off and call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
How long does the work take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. As a guide, the work takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts.
Signs you need air conditioning repair in Swattenden
When ice forms on the pipes or coil, something else is wrong. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Switch the system off and let it thaw before calling us.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- A flashing light and a system that will not run
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- New noises from the system
When cooling fails at a school like Cranbrook School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning

Advice
Why deal with it now?
If your system uses R22, the options are narrower. R22 depletes the ozone layer, and servicing with new R22 is not allowed, so a refrigerant fault on an R22 system usually points to replacement. We explain why and quote for a new system if that is the right answer. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
