Air conditioning repair in Tillington, done properly
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? Check the filter, the mode, the set temperature and the remote’s batteries first, and if that does not fix it, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk. You’ll hear back from us the same working day. If the problem is drips from the indoor unit and a system that needs topping up again, we can sort it out.
Around Tillington, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. A photo of the unit’s label and a description of the fault help us plan.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
The process
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes anything from an hour or so to a full day, depending on the fault and the parts. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Tillington.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- On the diagnosis visit, the engineer tests the system rather than guessing.
- 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.
- Before leaving, we run it through its modes and write up what was found and done.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Tillington: your questions answered
Is Tillington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you cover Tillington for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Tillington. Tell us the make, model and any error code when you call; repair call-outs start from £75 + VAT.
Why is water dripping from my indoor unit?
Usually a blocked or kinked condensate drain, a failed condensate pump or a unit that isn’t level. Ice on the coil from low airflow or low refrigerant can also melt and drip. Switch the unit off and ring us on 07833 053749.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Tillington and across West Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What does the error code on my air conditioning mean?
Each manufacturer uses its own codes, and one code can have more than one cause. Send us a photo of the display with the make and model and we’ll test the system to confirm the cause.
What can I do with an old R22 system?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. R22 cannot be topped up with new gas, and parts for old models are scarce, so we will quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
What air conditioning will not do
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Cooling that falls short because the system is too small
- An old system with obsolete parts
- A room that overheats because of the building, such as a lack of shading or ventilation (the system may need help, not a repair)
Not sure which it is? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems

When to call us in Tillington
A unit that runs but doesn’t cool has a few usual suspects: a blocked filter, the wrong mode or set temperature, an outdoor unit that can’t breathe, a failed sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Testing tells us which.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- Drips from the indoor unit
- Air conditioning running but not cooling
- Weak airflow from the indoor unit
When cooling fails at a school like Petworth Cof E Primary School, we can time non-urgent repair work around lessons.
