FAQ
Questions about HVAC & refrigeration technician
What does the technician bring on the visit?
The technician brings pressure gauges to check the refrigeration cycle, electrical meters to test the capacitor, relay and control board, and leak detection and flare joint tools. The exact kit depends on the fault description you give when you book.
Can the technician check the AC and the fridge in the same visit?
Yes. The technician covers both air conditioning and refrigeration, so if you have a faulty AC and a commercial fridge or cold unit at the same location he inspects both in one visit and explains the condition of each separately before any repair begins.
How does the technician explain the fault before any work begins?
The technician diagnoses the fault first, whether a failing capacitor, a deteriorated flare joint or a blocked drain line, then tells you what he found, what work is needed and which parts must be replaced. No work starts until you have approved what he has explained.
What happens if the repair needs a spare part?
After the inspection the technician names the part needed and explains why. If the part is available on site the repair is done in the same visit. If it has to be sourced first, he agrees a second visit with you. No replacement is started without your knowledge of what will be done.
Is the inspection for a split unit different from a ducted or cassette unit?
Yes. A split unit gives direct access to the coil, filter and flare joint. A ducted or cassette unit also needs the plenum, dampers and duct runs checked to confirm air is distributed correctly. The technician decides the inspection method after seeing the unit type and installation at your site.
The AC works but the flat doesn't cool evenly, what causes this?
Uneven cooling comes from long copper runs or height differences between indoor units, or partial blockage in the line. The technician checks pressure at both ends and determines if the issue is distribution or refrigerant charge.
The AC runs loudly from the outdoor unit, is there a fan problem?
Loud noise from outside can be dust on the fans, loose fans or unstable mounting. The technician cleans the fans and condenser and checks the mount and bolts.
The outdoor unit is on an apartment balcony, does distance from the wall affect performance?
Yes, tight space between the unit and wall restricts airflow to the condenser and reduces cooling efficiency. The technician measures the gap and may suggest repositioning or improving ventilation around it.
The shopping centre's commercial fridge leaks water on the floor, what is the repair cost?
Repair cost depends on the cause, it could be clearing a line or replacing the drain pan. Send a photo of the unit and leak on WhatsApp and we will send a quote before starting work.
