- A noisy indoor or outdoor unit
Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
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.
How we handle air conditioning repair in Thundersley
Faults on all the leading makes are part of our everyday work, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Systems fitted by other installers are fine too, so tell us the make and model if you know it. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a noisy indoor or outdoor unit and a unit blowing warm air.
Around Thundersley, the faults we hear about most are weak cooling, dripping indoor units and error codes. Plenty of them come down to dirty filters, a blocked drain or a leak.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

FAQs for Thundersley
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in Thundersley?
Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Thundersley out of hours?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers Thundersley. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Can you still repair R410A air conditioning?
Yes. Repairing and recharging existing R410A systems is still legal. R410A is getting scarcer and dearer to buy as the GB phase-down tightens and we talk through repair against replacement for older systems.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Thundersley
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. The more we can see first, the quicker the visit to Thundersley.
- First, a few questions by phone or email about the brand, the fault and anything shown on the controller.
- We diagnose on site, checking the codes, electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant pressures.
- You get a plain explanation of the fault and a fixed price for putting it right.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- Finally the system is tested in operation and you get a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

- A suspected refrigerant leak
A photo of the error code and the unit’s rating label helps us plan the repair.
