🔍 R350 call-out to inspect & diagnoseAbsolute Repairs & HVAC provides aircon repair and servicing in Johannesburg, on site at your home or business, covering Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Midrand, Bedfordview and Kempton Park. A technician diagnoses the fault for a flat R350 call-out fee and gives you a fixed repair price before any work starts. Book Monday to Saturday, 07:30–17:30, on 072 686 0472 or WhatsApp.
In Johannesburg, many people use their aircon for cooling on hot summer afternoons and for heating on cold, dry winter nights. That means the unit runs most of the year. Dust from dry winters and nearby building work also clogs filters and coils faster than people expect, and a dirty unit is the root of most of the faults we're called out for.
Apartment blocks and sectional-title complexes add their own challenges: outdoor units on narrow balconies or roofs, long pipe runs and body corporate rules. We plan for this when you book, so tell us about access and where the outdoor unit is.
Low gas, a failed capacitor, a blocked coil or a sensor fault. Read 7 reasons an aircon stops cooling.
Blocked condensate drains and pumps, or a unit that wasn't installed level. See aircon leaking water.
Inverter boards, sensors and communication faults on Samsung, LG, Daikin, Midea and Hisense units.
R410a and R32 refrigerant, with leak detection first, so you're not paying to regas the same leak twice.
Fan motors, worn bearings, loose mountings and failing compressors.
Office cassettes, ducted units and VRV/VRF systems in business parks and retail spaces.
We recommend a service once a year for homes and every 3–6 months for offices or units that run all day. A service includes cleaning the filters, coils and drain, checking gas pressure and electrical connections, and testing heating and cooling modes. Book before October to beat the summer rush.
If your aircon is old, uses R22 gas or keeps breaking down, replacing it with an inverter split often makes more sense. We supply and install correctly sized units. See aircon installation in Gauteng.
We installed this Logik split aircon at a home in Sandton. The outdoor unit is mounted on wall brackets, and the pipes and cable run up the wall in neat trunking to the indoor unit. A tidy installation like this protects the pipework, looks better, and makes future servicing easier. See also our aircon installation page.
The call-out and diagnosis is R350. The repair is then quoted as a fixed price, depending on the part and work involved. See our repair cost guide for typical ranges.
Yes. We repair most residential and commercial brands, whoever installed them.
Yes. We'll need building access arranged and, for high outdoor units, to know how they're reached. Mention this when you book.
Heating relies on a reversing valve and sensors that cooling mode doesn't use. These parts can fail on their own, and we test both modes during every diagnosis.
Send us the brand, the room size and what the unit is doing. We'll confirm a slot, usually the same day. Monday to Saturday, 07:30–17:30.
