About our air conditioning repair in Wellow
Refrigerant does not get used up, so if it’s low, there’s a leak. Topping up without a repair only delays the next breakdown. We find and fix the leak, pressure test, evacuate and recharge to the manufacturer’s charge, then record it in the F-Gas records. The work covers heat pumps, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are frost on the pipework and water dripping from the indoor unit.
In a village like Wellow, most air conditioning we repair is in homes, garden rooms and the occasional pub or village business. Describe the fault and send a photo of the unit’s label so we can plan the visit.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

FAQs for Wellow
Is there an emergency air con repair line for Wellow?
The emergency line is open around the clock, and Wellow is one of the places it covers. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we will advise on the next step.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning repair in Wellow?
It can, as Wellow is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We look for corroded coils, fixings and connections on coastal repairs.
My air con is showing an error code. What should I do?
An error code points us in the right direction, but it isn’t the whole answer. Note the code and switch the system off if it is not working, then give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
What the work involves, system by system
Fans and compressors
The compressor is the heart of the system. Compressor faults can sometimes be caused by something else, such as an electrical fault or a refrigerant problem, so we test before condemning it. A failed compressor often raises the repair-or-replace question, and we give you both prices.
Refrigerant leaks
Adding refrigerant without a repair isn’t a fix and the gas simply leaks out again. We always find and fix the leak first.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A supply fault outside the property
- A system that was undersized for the room in the first place (that needs a bigger system, not a repair)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
Rented and managed buildings
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive, and we clear up before we go. We plan the trip to Wellow around you.
- We start with what the unit is doing, the make and any code.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault on site, testing rather than guessing.
- We explain the cause in plain English and give you a fixed price.
- Once you’re happy, the repair is done and any refrigerant work recorded.
- We test the system in operation and leave you a note of the fault and the fix.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or send an email.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
