Find the fault, not a bottle of gas
Warm air is often filters, a leak, a frozen coil or a failed compressor. We look at indoor and outdoor together. We do not start with a top-up.
Fault finding — not cooling, leaks, noises, drips
Aircon repairs in Somerset West
Aircon repairs in Somerset West — fault finding when a unit blows warm air, leaks, freezes or drips. Contractor repair after a visit. Not a gas top-up shop.
01
A repair visit should find the fault on the indoor and outdoor units, say whether the plant can stay, and not become a gas-bottle sale.
This is the fault-finding card for air conditioners in Somerset West. People search it when the indoor unit blows warm air, water drips from the fascia, the coil ices up, the outdoor fan is noisy, or the system short-cycles. Somerset West Aircon looks at both units on site, then says repair versus replace. We repair systems we did not originally install. We will not publish a call-out fee on this site, and we will not treat every warm-air complaint as a refrigerant top-up. A Helderberg breakdown is often a local failure. Filters clog before summer. The indoor coil freezes. The drain blocks and water shows on the wall. A refrigerant leak starves the circuit. A capacitor or a fan motor gives up. Those are aircon repairs: find the source, quote the work, then fix it. Summer heat makes the same failures obvious. That is basin colour, not a survey we ran, and not a reason to invent overnight staffing as ours. A leak without a repair is how people arrive at the re-gas card. This page holds the live repair search so that card is not an encyclopedia. When the compressor is finished, the honest scope is a replacement, not another recharge. We will say which. Photos of the indoor and outdoor units start the quote; the visit writes the scope. Send the suburb, photos of both units and of the fault, and whether you think it is a repair or a new install. We quote after the visit. No Rand figure. No invented same-day roster. No warranty year printed as ours.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Symptoms we actually open
No cold air, blowing hot, water dripping, ice on the indoor coil, a noisy outdoor fan, a breaker that trips, short-cycling. The dedicated leak-and-recharge card sits next door so this page stays the live repair search.
Repair versus replace is a site call
A blocked drain or a failed fan can go back into service. A finished compressor may need a new pair. We will say which, and we will not stretch a recharge.
Brands we did not hang
We repair systems we did not originally install. Name the make if you know it. We do not print a dealership wall as ours.

Straight answers
Questions about aircon repairs.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Aircon blowing warm air in Somerset West — dirty filters, low refrigerant, or the compressor?+
Any of those. Sometimes a frozen coil or a failed fan. The visit finds the fault. We will not guess a recharge from a photo.
Frozen indoor coil, water dripping, or a musty smell — what do you check first?+
Airflow and the drain first, then the coil and the refrigerant circuit. A drip is often a blocked drain, not a reason to add gas.
Can you repair a brand you did not install?+
Yes. Samsung, Daikin, LG, Panasonic, Alliance and others as the unit in front of us. We do not print those names as a dealership we own.
Do you repair refrigerant leaks, or only top up gas?+
Leak finding, repair, vacuum, recharge lives on the dedicated card next door. This page is the live repair search. A top-up without a repair is not the offer.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee before quoting an aircon repair?+
No call-out tariff is printed. Ask when you send the suburb. Competitor call-out lines are not ours.
Do you publish repair prices?+
No. Access, which parts have failed, and whether the plant can stay all shape the quote after the visit.
Is this an all-hours emergency page?+
No. It is a contractor repair card. Prompt inspection language sits on the after-hours card. An all-hours roster is not a claim we make.
Do you repair systems in Strand and Gordon's Bay?+
Yes. Name the town. Photos of both units still start the quote.
