How we handle air conditioning repair in The Frenches
Any repair we carry out in The Frenches starts the same way: fault codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant are all checked. Then we explain what’s wrong and give you a fixed price to put it right. Common call-outs are for water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling and a system that won’t switch on, across VRF systems, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
We plan the trip to The Frenches so the repair can be finished in one visit where possible, though some parts have to be ordered from the manufacturer.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
For landlords and property managers
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Signs you need air conditioning repair in The Frenches
Most indoor unit leaks come back to the condensate. A blocked or kinked drain, a failed pump or a unit that is not level are the usual causes, and ice on the coil that melts can drip too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- A unit blowing warm air
Dirty filters and blocked drains cause more faults than people expect.

The Frenches: your questions answered
Is there an emergency air con repair line for The Frenches?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers The Frenches. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Can you do air conditioning repair in The Frenches?
Yes. The Frenches is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Why is my air conditioning leaking water?
Most leaks come from a blocked drain, a failed pump or a unit that has dropped out of level. Ice that forms on the coil and melts can cause drips too. Turn it off and call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Somewhere like The Frenches, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, we test the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant.
- The fault is explained simply and the repair priced up front.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get 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, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
