Do you need air conditioning repair in Upper Hardres?
Leaks tend to start where pipes are joined: joints, valves and sections of pipe worn by vibration or damage. Corrosion on coils can also cause leaks over time, and a slow leak can go unnoticed until the system stops cooling.
Common reasons people call us include:
- New noises from the system
- A suspected refrigerant leak
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
A unit that keeps tripping or showing the same code is worth a proper diagnosis.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
How we handle air conditioning repair in Upper Hardres
We repair air conditioning on all the main brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, 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 heat pumps, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a unit that barely blows any air and a system that runs but doesn’t cool the room.
Around Upper Hardres, repairs tend to be home systems, garden rooms and a few businesses. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

System by system
Multi-split systems
On a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves several indoor units, so a fault outside can affect every room, while a fault inside may affect only one. That shapes the diagnosis and the repair.
Circuit boards and sensors
Circuit boards and temperature sensors control how the system runs. A failed sensor can make a unit stop, run oddly or show an error code and boards can fail with age or after electrical problems.
How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. If a lane or gateway near Upper Hardres is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- You describe the fault, the make and any error code, ideally with a photo.
- At the property, readings and tests narrow the problem down to its cause.
- 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
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Leave a tripping breaker off and call us
- Check the settings and the remote’s batteries first
- Turn the system off if it’s dripping water
If a repair doesn’t make sense, you’ll hear it from us, with the reasons. If replacement is the better option, we can quote for it on the same visit.
Book an annual service. A service cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small faults early, which is far simpler than an emergency repair.

Questions from Upper Hardres
Can you do air conditioning repair in Upper Hardres?
We do: Upper Hardres falls inside our working area. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Will you come out to Upper Hardres?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can you come out for an emergency air conditioning repair?
Yes. We have a 24/7 emergency line for urgent breakdowns. Call 07833 053749 and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will agree the next steps with you.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
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 will test the system to confirm the cause.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Upper Hardres and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
My system uses R22. Can it be repaired?
In most cases, we recommend replacement. New R22 cannot be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so we’ll quote for a modern replacement and explain why.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
