About our air conditioning repair in Wantage
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. It doesn’t matter who installed it and the make and model help us prepare. If you are dealing with frost on the pipework and a suspected refrigerant leak, we can help.
Whether it’s a shop or a house in Wantage, the system is an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and the pipework and wiring that join them. A fault can be in any of them, which is why we test before we replace parts.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted and cassette systems
Ducted units and cassettes sit above the ceiling and access is part of the job. Many have condensate pumps, and pump failures are a common cause of ceiling leaks.
Multi-split systems
With several pipe runs, finding a leak on a multi-split takes method. We test each run to find it, then repair, pressure test and recharge.

How it works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes as long as the fault needs, from a quick fix to a return visit for parts. Three things shape a visit in Wantage: parking, access to the outside of the building and when suits you.
- Diagnose: test the system until the cause is clear.
- Next, a plain explanation and a fixed price.
- If the repair is not worth doing, we say so and explain the options.
- Treat: carry out the repair, sealing any leak before refrigerant goes back in.
- The sign-off: the system tested in operation and the work recorded.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.

Why deal with it now?
A struggling system costs more to run. A dirty coil, a blocked filter or a low refrigerant charge all make the system work harder for less cooling, and the extra strain can shorten the life of the compressor. Getting the work done in Wantage before summer is the easy option.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Common questions in Wantage
Is Wantage in your area for air conditioning repair?
Yes, Wantage is within the area we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Who do I call if my air conditioning fails in Wantage out of hours?
Wantage is within our area, and the emergency line is open 24/7. Have the make, model and error code ready, and we will talk you through what happens next.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 is my air conditioning leaking water?
The condensate drain or pump is the usual cause: a blocked pipe, a kinked hose or a failed pump. Switch the unit off to avoid water damage, then call us.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
