Aircon Fault Finding
and Repairs in Cape Town

When an aircon stops cooling, starts leaking, or keeps tripping, replacing the unit is not always necessary. Chris HVAC investigates the symptoms, checks the condition of the system, and explains whether the problem can be repaired.

Aircon Faults We Investigate

The cause of an aircon problem is not always obvious from the symptom. For example, warm air may be linked to restricted airflow, a refrigerant issue, a sensor fault, compressor trouble, or another component.

Chris HVAC can investigate problems such as:

Diagnosis Before Repair

A repair should address the cause rather than only the visible symptom. During an assessment, the technician may inspect:

Unit Operation

Indoor and outdoor unit operation.

Airflow & Coils

Filters, coil condition and airflow.

Drainage

Drainage and condensate movement.

Electrical & Controls

Electrical connections and control components.

Refrigerant

Refrigerant-related symptoms.

Fans & Compressor

Fan, compressor and temperature-control operation.

Installation

Installation condition and accessibility.

The exact checks depend on the system and the fault reported.

Repair Options for Different Systems

Repair availability depends on the make, model, age, condition and availability of parts.

Outdoor air conditioning unit installation

  • Wall-mounted split units.

Repair availability depends on the make, model, age, condition and availability of parts.

When Repair May Not Be the Best Option

Repair is not automatically the most cost-effective choice.

Replacement may deserve consideration when a unit has:

  • Extensive corrosion

  • Repeated major failures

  • Unavailable parts

  • Severe compressor damage

  • Poor efficiency

Chris HVAC explains the findings so the customer can make an informed decision before approving work.
