Common AC problems we repair
Most AC faults show up as one of a few symptoms. Here is what usually causes them and how we approach the repair.
AC not cooling
Common causes: Dirty filters and coils, low refrigerant from a leak, a weak capacitor, a faulty sensor or a compressor that isn't starting.
We measure air temperature, current and pressures to find the cause before fixing it.
Water leakage
Common causes: A blocked drain pipe, a dirty or cracked drain tray, poor indoor-unit levelling, or ice forming on the coil.
We clear the drain, check the slope and fix the underlying cause.
Compressor-related issues
Common causes: The outdoor unit hums but doesn't start, trips the MCB, or runs and cuts out repeatedly.
We test the capacitor, relays, wiring and compressor windings before recommending any replacement.
PCB and electrical problems
Common causes: AC not turning on, display or remote not responding, error codes, or burnt wiring.
We check the power supply, PCB, sensors and connections, then repair or replace the faulty part.
Unusual noise and vibration
Common causes: Loose panels, worn fan motor bearings, a damaged fan blade or an unstable outdoor stand.
We tighten, balance or replace the affected part and secure the mounting.
AC breakdown troubleshooting
Common causes: AC stopped suddenly, smells of burning, or behaves erratically.
Switch the AC off at the mains and call us; we will diagnose the breakdown safely.
How our AC repair works
- Tell us the problem. Call or WhatsApp us with your AC type, brand and what you are noticing.
- Diagnosis on-site. The technician inspects and tests the AC to find the actual fault.
- Clear explanation. We explain the cause, the repair and the cost before starting.
- Repair and test. We fix the fault, replace parts where needed and run the AC to confirm proper cooling.
Split, window and inverter AC repair
Split ACs have separate indoor and outdoor units, so faults can lie in either — or in the copper piping and wiring between them. Window ACs are self-contained and often suffer from dust build-up and drainage issues. Inverter ACs vary compressor speed electronically, so many faults involve the PCB, sensors or communication between units. We repair all three types.
Quick checks before you call
Some issues have simple causes. Before booking a repair, it is worth checking:
- The AC's MCB or stabiliser is switched on and the remote has working batteries.
- The mode is set to Cool, not Fan or Dry, and the set temperature is lower than the room.
- The air filters are not clogged with dust.
- Nothing is blocking the outdoor unit.
If you notice a burning smell, sparking or repeated tripping, switch the AC off at the mains and contact us. Do not keep restarting it.

AC repair FAQs
My inverter AC shows an error code. Can you fix it?
Yes. Inverter ACs display codes that point to a sensor, communication, PCB or compressor fault. Send us the brand, model and the code on WhatsApp; our technician will confirm the cause on-site before recommending a repair.
Can AC repairs be done at home?
Most repairs — capacitors, sensors, fan motors, drain problems, many PCB faults and gas leak repairs — are carried out at your home or office. Some major repairs may need the unit or a part to be taken to our workshop; we will explain this before moving anything.
Do you have parts for my AC brand?
We stock and source common AC spare parts for many brands. Availability depends on the model, so share the model number from the nameplate. See our AC spare parts page for the categories we supply.
Is it worth repairing an old AC?
Often, yes — many faults such as a failed capacitor, sensor or fan motor are inexpensive to fix. If a major part like the compressor fails on an old unit, we will lay out the repair cost so you can compare it with replacement.
