Long, hot summers mean hard-working aircons
Many Pretoria aircons run for hours every day from October to March, often in bedrooms overnight as well. That non-stop running is what exposes weak capacitors, low gas and tired fan motors. It's also why the first heatwave of the season brings a rush of breakdowns.
A unit that worked last summer but now cools weakly usually has a slow gas leak or badly clogged coils. Both are cheaper to fix early than after the compressor has been overworked for weeks.
Common aircon repairs in Pretoria
- Weak or no cooling: leak detection and repair, then an R410a or R32 regas
- Outdoor unit humming but not starting: capacitor, contactor or fan motor replacement
- Water running down the wall: blocked drain lines and condensate pumps cleared
- Unit trips the power: electrical faults, failing compressors and wiring problems
- Error codes: inverter PCB, sensor and communication faults
- Bad smell from vents: deep cleaning of mould and bacteria on the coil and fan

Repair or replace?
If your unit is older than about 12 years, still runs on R22 gas, or the compressor has failed, a new inverter split will usually cost less to run and own. We'll give you both prices so you can decide. See aircon installation.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I service my aircon in Pretoria?
Once a year for most homes, ideally in September or October before the heat arrives. Units that run all day in offices or bedrooms benefit from a service every six months.
Why does my aircon need regassing again?
Aircons don't use up gas. If it's low, there's a leak. We find and repair the leak first so the regas lasts.
Do you cover Centurion?
Yes. Centurion and Irene are part of our regular Pretoria route, with the same R350 call-out fee.
Can you service several aircons in one visit?
Yes. For homes with several units, or for offices, we can service them all in one booking. Ask us for a quote.
