Aircon problems we fix in Centurion
| What it's doing | Usual cause |
|---|---|
| Running but not cooling | Low gas from a leak, blocked filters or coils, or a weak capacitor on the outdoor unit |
| Outdoor unit humming, fan not turning | Failed capacitor or fan motor: a common first-heatwave failure |
| Water dripping from the indoor unit | Blocked drain line or tray, or a unit that wasn't installed level |
| Error code on the display | Sensor, communication or inverter board faults, often after a power spike |
| Bad smell when it starts | Mould on the coil and fan barrel: needs a deep clean, not just a filter wash |
| Tripping the power | Compressor, wiring or board fault: switch it off and have it tested |

Service it before the heat arrives
The first proper heatwave brings a rush of breakdowns in Centurion: capacitors that were already weak, drain lines blocked with a winter's worth of dust, and units low on gas that limped through last summer. A service in October or November catches most of these early. A proper service covers the filters, coil and fan barrel, drain line, outdoor unit, gas pressures and electrical checks. See what a full aircon service includes.
Installations in estates and complexes
Many Centurion homes are in estates and sectional-title complexes where the HOA or body corporate decides where an outdoor unit can go. We work within those rules, keep pipe runs neat, and pressure-test and vacuum every installation before releasing the gas, so the unit doesn't lose gas or leak down your wall. Every aircon we install also gets a free service six months after installation. Not sure what size you need? Use our aircon size (BTU) guide, or see aircon installation.
Homes, offices and shops
Alongside homes, we look after aircons in Centurion offices, practices and shops. Units that run all day need a service every six months. We can do several units in one visit and give you one quote.

Frequently asked questions
How much is an aircon call-out in Centurion?
R350 for the visit and diagnosis. The repair or service is quoted as a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you come out the same day?
Often, yes, especially if you WhatsApp in the morning. In the first heatwaves it gets busy, which is another good reason to service early.
How often should my aircon be serviced?
Once a year for most homes, ideally before summer. Every six months for units that run all day, such as bedrooms used nightly or offices.
Why does my aircon need regassing again?
Aircons don't use up gas. If it's low, there's a leak. We find and fix the leak before regassing so it lasts.
Do you install aircons in Centurion estates?
Yes. We follow your estate or body corporate rules on where the outdoor unit can go, and every installation includes a free service six months later.
