The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Winton.
- It starts with the symptoms: what the unit is doing, the make and any code on the display.
- The engineer reads the fault codes and checks the electrics, airflow, drain and refrigerant circuit.
- Once the cause is found, we explain it and fix the price for the repair.
- With your agreement the part is replaced or the fault put right, and refrigerant work goes in the F-Gas log.
- We run the system, check it’s working properly and note anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

What owners can safely do
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

Questions from Winton
Is Winton in your area for air conditioning repair?
We do: Winton falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Is Winton within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Winton and across East Sussex. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can you repair an R22 air conditioning system?
Replacement is usually the better answer. New R22 can’t be used to service systems, and parts for older units are getting harder to find, so a new system on a modern refrigerant is normally the better investment.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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.
What a repair looks like in Winton
The Alfriston Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Winton, within about a third of a mile. In the mile around Winton’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Parish Church of St Andrew, listed at grade I, is one of roughly 54 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Winton’s centre. That only matters for replacements, where a new outdoor unit on a protected building can need consent. About 55% of homes across Winton and its surrounding area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 77% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Tell us where your outdoor unit is and how to reach it, so we can plan the visit.
Before you call, note what the unit is doing and any code on the controller. If a system fails at a school such as Alfriston School, our 24/7 line takes the call, and planned repairs can wait for the holidays.

After we’ve gone
After the visit, a few habits help:
- If there’s ice on the pipes, switch off and let it melt
- Never add refrigerant yourself or let anyone top up without finding the leak
- Switch the unit off if water is leaking from it
If the same symptom comes back, tell us right away. Let us know what the system is doing and any code on the display and we will come back to it.
Have the system serviced once a year. 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.
What the work involves, system by system
Refrigerant leaks
If the charge is low, there’s a leak somewhere. The leak is found and fixed, then the circuit is tested, evacuated and recharged and every step is recorded.
Ducted and cassette systems
If water is coming through the ceiling, switch the unit off and call us. A failed pump, a blocked drain or an overflowing tray is usually behind it, and we check all three.
A customer’s words
“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.”
