How we handle air conditioning repair in Wash Common
Not sure whether it’s worth calling an engineer? A quick check of the filter, settings and remote can rule out the simple causes, then ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk if the problem is still there. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If the problem is a system that needs topping up again and water leaking from the unit or through the ceiling, we can sort it out.

What air conditioning will not do
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A refrigerant fault on an R22 system (new R22 can’t be used for servicing, so replacement is typically the answer)
- A power cut or a fault on the incoming supply to the building (that’s for the network operator)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Heat pumps
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Ducted systems
Different systems, different jobs
VRF systems
In a VRF system, many indoor units share outdoor plant. We use the system’s fault history and codes, then test to confirm, and repairs are priced before they go ahead.
Condensate drains and pumps
We clear the drain, test the pump and check the fall, so the water goes where it should. Failed pumps are replaced and tested before we go.
Questions from Wash Common
Will you come out to Wash Common?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Wash Common?
Yes: ring the emergency line, day or night, from anywhere in Wash Common. A diagnosis call-out starts from £75 + VAT, and knowing the brand and the symptoms helps us plan it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which brands do you work with?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How much does an air conditioning repair cost?
The first step is a diagnosis, from £75 + VAT, and then you get a fixed price for the repair. Nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. In a place like Wash Common, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- Describe the problem and the brand, and mention any code on the display.
- A diagnosis visit finds the cause with proper tests.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once you are happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- The system is run and checked, and you get a written note of the repair.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Advice
When to call us in Wash Common
Ice on the pipework or the indoor coil is a symptom, not the fault. Low airflow from blocked filters or a failing fan, or low refrigerant from a leak, are the common causes. Turn it off and let the ice melt, then call us.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- A unit blowing warm air
- An error code or flashing light on the unit
- A unit that will not start
The make, model and error code are the most useful things to tell us.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Who does the electrical work, and whether they can certify it
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
