Common problems we fix in Tenterden
Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. The drain may be blocked or kinked, the condensate pump may have failed, or the unit may not be level, while ice that forms on the coil and then melts can also cause drips.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A unit blowing warm air
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- A unit that has lost refrigerant
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
Air conditioning repair in Tenterden, done properly
We treat a faulty system the way a doctor treats a patient: find the cause, put it right and check it’s healthy before we leave. Guessing is expensive, and replacing a board when the fault is a sensor leaves the problem in place. If the problem is a unit that barely blows any air and a system that needs topping up again, we can help.
Around Tenterden, most of our repairs are in homes, with some small businesses. What you tell us about the fault shapes the visit, so a description and a photo of any error code really help.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

System by system
Condensate drains and pumps
We clear the drain, test the pump and check the fall, so the water goes where it should. If a pump has failed, we replace it and test it before we leave.
Fans and compressors
At the centre of the system is the compressor. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.

Advice
What affects the quote in Tenterden
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The pipe route between the units
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your installation or service records
- The address and the type of property
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Your questions about air conditioning repair in Tenterden
Is Tenterden in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Tenterden is within the area we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details.
Do you cover Tenterden for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Tenterden 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’ll advise on the next step.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
When air con fails in Tenterden
The middle of Tenterden is part of a conservation area. Parish Church of St Mildred, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 119 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Tenterden’s centre. For most visits that makes no difference. It only comes up when an outdoor unit has to be replaced on a protected building. The last census (2021) found about 69% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A photo of the outdoor unit and its surroundings tells us what access the visit needs.
Schools such as Tenterden Infant School can report a fault on the 24/7 line and have non-urgent work done out of term.
