Problems

What's wrong with your aircon?

These are the calls we get most often. If your fault isn't listed, tell us anyway. Between the four of us on the team, we've seen most of what a Cape Town aircon can do wrong.

Aircon not cooling

Not cooling

The unit runs but the air is not cold. Could be gas, could be a dirty coil, could be a failed capacitor.

Leaking water

Water dripping or pooling near the unit. Often a blocked drain or a cracked tray.

Strange noise

A rattle, hum or buzz from the indoor or outdoor unit. Usually a fan, bearing or mount.

Won't switch on

No response at all. Often a tripped breaker, a blown fuse, or a failed capacitor.

Short-cycling

The unit turns on and off repeatedly. Usually a thermostat issue, a dirty coil, or low refrigerant.

Assessment

What we check before any repair

We look at the whole system, not just the symptom you called about. Strain in one part often shows up as a fault somewhere else.

Refrigerant levels and system pressure

We check the gas charge and pressure to find leaks or low refrigerant.

Filters, coils and airflow

Dirty filters and coils restrict airflow and strain the system.

Drainage, electrics and thermostat operation

We check the drain lines, electrical connections, and thermostat settings.

Compressor, fan motors and capacitors

We test the mechanical and electrical components that keep the unit running.

Process

What a proper repair involves

A repair call isn't just 'open it up and see.' Here's the actual sequence.

Repairs

What your aircon actually needs

Some faults need a new part. Some need a clean. We tell you which one it is before we start, and we don't upsell a repair the unit doesn't need.
