Air Conditioner Repairs

We treat air conditioner repairs as an engineering job rather than a quick fix. Our technicians assess the whole system before recommending anything, because the fault you can see is very often a symptom of something upstream that will simply come back if it is not addressed properly the first time.

When an air conditioner stops performing, the cause is usually one of a handful of faults: low refrigerant charge from a leak, a failed capacitor, a burnt-out fan motor, a blocked condensate drain, a faulty PCB, or a compressor that is drawing excessive current. Our technicians arrive with diagnostic gauges, clamp meters, leak detectors and a stocked van, which means the majority of call-outs are resolved on the first visit.

We diagnose before we quote. You receive a clear explanation of what has failed, what it will cost to repair, and an honest recommendation of whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense on an older unit. We never replace parts speculatively, and we always pressure-test and leak-check a system before recharging it, so that gas you pay for stays in the system.

Emergency and same-day repair slots are available across Gauteng, including for server rooms, medical rooms, restaurants and other environments where cooling downtime is expensive.

Why air conditioner repairs matters

Load shedding, surges and Gauteng’s summer storm season are hard on both air conditioning and electrical infrastructure. Correct air conditioner repairs builds in the protection and headroom needed to survive that environment instead of failing on the first hot Saturday of the season.

How we handle air conditioner repairs

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote air conditioner repairs in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the air conditioner repairs to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of air conditioner repairs

Anyone quoting air conditioner repairs sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

Capacity of the unit and the heat load of the space
Distance between the indoor and outdoor unit (pipe and cable runs)
Wall type, height and whether scaffolding or a ladder platform is needed
Brackets, trunking, drainage and whether a condensate pump is required
Whether an existing circuit and isolator can be reused or a new one is needed
Brand, inverter type and the warranty you want behind the equipment

Brands we work with

Alliance · Defy · LG · Gree

Our guarantee

Every job carries a written workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on parts and equipment.

Recent project

A logistics warehouse in Woodmead needed air conditioner repairs handled properly after a poor previous experience. We assessed the site, quoted in writing, completed the work to SANS standards and handed over full documentation.

Air Conditioner Repairs FAQs

Why is my aircon blowing air but not cooling?

The most common causes are a refrigerant leak, a failed capacitor on the outdoor unit, or a heavily blocked filter or coil. We diagnose all three on the first visit.

Why is my air conditioner leaking water inside?

Almost always a blocked or incorrectly fallen condensate drain, or a frozen evaporator coil caused by low gas or restricted airflow. Both are quick repairs.
