Common air conditioning problems we fix
We offer a comprehensive range of AC repair services to address any problems your system may encounter. Our highly skilled technicians have the expertise to handle various issues, including:
Refrigerant leaks
Air conditioners need the correct amount of refrigerant to cool effectively. When refrigerant leaks from the pipework or unit connections, your system blows warm air or takes longer to cool the space. We use electronic leak detectors to locate the leak point, repair the damaged section, then recharge the system to manufacturer specifications. We also check what caused the leak initially to prevent it happening again.
Faulty compressors
The compressor circulates refrigerant through your air conditioning system. When it fails, the outdoor unit may not start, or it runs but produces no cooling. We test the compressor’s electrical connections and internal pressure first, as sometimes the problem lies in the capacitor or wiring rather than the compressor itself. If the compressor has failed, we advise whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense based on your system’s age and condition.
Electrical faults
Electrical problems stop air conditioners from starting or cause them to trip your circuit breaker repeatedly. We check the control board, wiring connections, contactors, and capacitors to find where the fault lies. Common issues include burnt wiring from power surges, failed capacitors that prevent the fan or compressor from starting, and corroded connections from moisture exposure. We repair or replace the faulty components and test the system under load to confirm it operates safely.
Broken thermostats and controls
Our air conditioning engineers test whether the thermostat sends correct signals to the air conditioning unit and check if the problem is coming from wiring, sensor placement, or the thermostat itself. We repair wiring issues or fit replacement thermostats that match your system’s requirements.
Fan motor failures
When a fan motor fails, you may hear humming without airflow, or the unit may overheat and shut down. We examine the motor bearings, electrical connections, and capacitor, then determine if the motor needs lubrication, rewiring, or replacement. We keep common fan motors in stock for faster repairs.
Signs that Your Air Conditioning System Needs Repair:
To avoid further damage and maximise the lifespan of your air conditioning system, it’s important to recognise the signs indicating the need for repairs. Keep an eye out for the following:
Reduced Cooling Performance
If your system is no longer providing the desired level of cooling, it may indicate a malfunction that requires professional attention.
Unusual Noises
Strange or loud noises coming from your AC unit can indicate problems such as worn-out belts, loose components, or motor issues.
Strange Odors
Foul or musty odors emanating from your vents could be a sign of mold growth or other problems that should be addressed promptly.
Frequent Cycling
If your system is turning on and off frequently, known as short cycling, it could be a symptom of an underlying issue that needs repair.
Why use professional engineers for air conditioning repairs
Attempting DIY repairs on air conditioning systems often creates additional problems. Refrigerant handling requires legal certification, electrical work needs proper training, and misdiagnosis wastes money on unnecessary parts.
Accurate diagnosis
Air conditioning problems often have multiple potential causes. A system that won’t cool could have a refrigerant leak, failed compressor, blocked filter, faulty thermostat, or electrical issue. Our engineers test each component systematically to identify the actual problem rather than guessing.
Legal compliance
F-Gas regulations require anyone handling refrigerants to hold valid certification. Releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere during repairs is illegal and carries substantial fines. Our engineers hold current F-Gas certificates and recover, recycle, or dispose of refrigerants according to environmental regulations. We also provide documentation that proves compliance if you need it for audits or property transactions.
Proper equipment and parts
We carry refrigerant recovery equipment, vacuum pumps, pressure gauges, multimeters, and leak detectors that aren’t available in general tool shops. We also source genuine manufacturer parts or approved equivalents that match your system’s specifications.
System longevity
Correctly repaired air conditioners last longer because all related components work as intended. Working with professionals protects your investment and reduces the frequency of future breakdowns.
How we handle air conditioning repairs
Discussing the problem
When you contact us about a broken air conditioner, we ask what symptoms you've noticed, whether it's not cooling, making unusual noises, leaking water, or not starting at all. We also ask about your system's age and when it last received maintenance. This information helps our engineer bring the most likely parts needed. We typically arrange a visit within 24-48 hours, or the same day for urgent breakdowns during hot weather.
Site visit and diagnosis
Our engineer arrives at the agreed time with diagnostic equipment and common replacement parts. They inspect your system, test electrical connections, measure refrigerant pressures, and check all major components to identify what's failed. The engineer explains what they've found, what caused the problem, and how much the repair will cost before starting any work. If we need to order specialist parts, we tell you how long they'll take to arrive.
Repairing your unit
Once you approve the quote, our engineer completes the repair using parts from our van or orders components for a follow-up visit. After replacing faulty parts, we test the system under normal operating conditions to confirm it cools properly, runs quietly, and doesn't trigger any error codes. We clean up the work area and show you the old parts we've removed. You receive an invoice with details of what we repaired and any maintenance recommendations to prevent future problems.
