Not cooling
Airflow, coils, sensors, controls, compressor operation and refrigerant-side issues can all reduce cooling.
AC fault diagnosis & repair
Air Conditioner Repairs Durban
We repair air conditioners across Durban for weak cooling, leaking water, electrical faults, poor airflow, unusual noise and control problems. Re-gassing is only carried out when testing shows the refrigeration circuit needs it.

Our repair approach
Clear diagnosis before repair
We begin with the symptoms you have noticed, check the components and controls connected with the fault, then explain what needs attention. A proper diagnosis helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
How repair pricing works →Professional repair service
We diagnose the cause and repair the fault properly
Air-conditioning faults sit across four systems: airflow, drainage, electrical/control and refrigeration. A unit that leaks water may have a drain or icing problem, while a unit that runs but does not cool can involve airflow, controls, compressor operation or refrigerant-side issues.
We separate full AC repair from regassing because a recharge is only one possible service. The repair should follow proper system checks rather than assuming low refrigerant whenever cooling is weak.
When booking, tell us whether the indoor fan blows, whether the outdoor unit runs, whether water is leaking, and any error code or indicator pattern. Those details help narrow the diagnostic checks.
What we check
We test the systems that can cause the fault
We use the symptoms to guide our checks, then confirm the cause before recommending parts or repair work.
Airflow and cleanliness
Filters, coils, fans and obstructions are checked because restricted airflow can reduce cooling and contribute to icing.
Drainage
Blocked drains, poor condensate flow or icing can cause water leakage from the indoor unit.
Electrical and control
Capacitors, motors, sensors, wiring and controls are considered when the unit trips, will not start or cycles abnormally.
Refrigeration
Compressor and refrigerant-side checks are added when the operating behaviour supports a refrigeration problem.
How we diagnose the problem
We check airflow, drainage, controls and refrigeration
Our technicians test the complete system so the repair addresses the actual cause of the problem.
Confirm operation and symptom
Power, modes, airflow and cooling behaviour are checked first.
Inspect airflow and drainage
Dirty or restricted airflow and condensate problems can imitate larger faults.
Check electrical/control behaviour
Motors, capacitors, sensors, wiring and control signals may be relevant.
Assess refrigeration if indicated
Refrigerant-side checks are added when the system behaviour supports them.
Our repair work
Repairs carried out by our technicians
We work directly on appliance components, electrical systems, cooling systems and controls, then test the repaired function before the job is complete.
Repairs we carry out
What we can repair once the fault is confirmed
Once we identify the cause, we explain the repair, the parts involved where applicable and what the appliance needs to operate correctly again.
No-start and electrical faults
Power, capacitors, motors, wiring and controls may be involved depending on what the unit does when commanded to start.
Water leaks
Drainage, icing and condensate-management faults are checked rather than treating every leak as a refrigerant problem.
Weak airflow
Fan, filter, coil and duct conditions can reduce performance even when the refrigeration circuit is healthy.
Cooling faults
Full-system diagnosis can lead to electrical, airflow, control or refrigerant repair depending on the findings.
Repair prices
Air conditioner repair costs in Durban
Aircon repair pricing depends on drainage, fans, electrical components, controls, access and refrigerant-side faults.
See Full Pricing GuideFull-system repair
Re-gassing is only one part of air-conditioning repair
We repair electrical, drainage, airflow and control faults as well as refrigerant problems. We only recommend re-gassing when system checks show it is required.
Water leak
Drainage, icing and installation conditions should be checked before assuming refrigerant loss.
Weak airflow
Fan and airflow restrictions can reduce cooling even when the refrigerant circuit is fine.
Electrical trip or no-start
This belongs to diagnosis of the power and control side, not a recharge-first approach.
Common questions
Air Conditioner Repair FAQs
Answers to the questions customers commonly ask before a repair.
Why is my air conditioner running but not cooling?
Possible causes include restricted airflow, dirty coils, sensor/control issues, compressor problems or refrigerant-side faults.
Why is water dripping from the indoor unit?
A blocked drain, icing, poor condensate flow or installation-related issue can cause leakage.
Does every AC repair include regassing?
No. Regassing is only relevant when the refrigeration circuit diagnosis supports it.
What information helps when booking?
Tell us the system type, brand, whether indoor and outdoor units run, airflow strength, leaks, noises and any error code.
