- Poor airflow even with clean filters
- Drips from the indoor unit
- A system that will not switch on
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or send an email.
About our air conditioning repair in West Dulwich
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, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form. We reply to enquiries the same working day. If the problem is water dripping from the indoor unit and a unit that has lost refrigerant, we can sort it out.
London systems in West Dulwich often run long hours in summer, which is when weak cooling, leaks and error codes tend to appear. A photo of the error code and the unit’s label helps us arrive with the right parts in mind.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What affects the quote in West Dulwich
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We consider:
- The size of the job
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What kind of system it is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a single visit for many faults, while some repairs need a second visit once parts arrive. Before a visit in West Dulwich, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- 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.
- Nothing is repaired until you’ve heard what’s wrong and agreed a fixed price.
- We repair the fault, and where refrigerant is involved, the leak is found and fixed before recharging.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
West Dulwich: your questions answered
Do you cover West Dulwich for emergency air conditioning repairs?
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line covers West Dulwich. Say what the system is doing and whether it shows a code, and we’ll advise on the next step.
What’s the best way to get a price for air conditioning repair in West Dulwich?
Use the quote form, or email, with a description of the job. Where pictures are not enough, a survey comes first and the fixed-price quote follows.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Why is my air conditioning icing up?
Ice is a symptom of low airflow or low refrigerant. Blocked filters, a failing fan or a leak are the common causes. Switch the system off, let it thaw and call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
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. Tell us the code, the make and the model, and we will diagnose the fault on site.
What air conditioning repair cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- An R22 system that has lost its refrigerant
- Heat gains the system was never designed for
- A unit whose parts are no longer made (replacement may be the only option)
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 before you book.

- Multi-split systems
