This guide helps you describe the problem, but the air conditioner still needs proper fault checking before repair work is recommended.
A faulty air conditioner should be inspected early, especially when the unit is running but not cooling. Some faults are simple, while others may involve refrigeration, electrical, or compressor-related components.
Common aircon repair problems include:
Aircon not cooling properly
Aircon blowing warm air
Aircon leaking water indoors
Aircon making loud noises
Aircon tripping electricity
Indoor unit not switching on
Outdoor unit not running
Weak airflow from the indoor unit
Aircon freezing up
Aircon switching off by itself
Remote control or thermostat problems
Bad smell from the indoor unit
Fan not turning
Compressor not starting
Error codes on the display
Aircon running continuously
Aircon cooling one room poorly
Water dripping from the indoor unit
Poor performance after power interruptions
Aircon needing regassing after confirmed refrigerant fault
A proper repair check helps avoid unnecessary regassing or replacing parts that are not the real cause of the problem.
An aircon that does not cool properly is one of the most common air conditioner repair requests in Centurion. The unit may switch on and blow air, but the room does not get cooler.
Possible causes include:
Dirty filters
Dirty indoor coil
Dirty outdoor condenser
Low refrigerant
Refrigerant leak
Faulty fan motor
Faulty capacitor
Compressor problem
Thermostat or sensor fault
Outdoor unit not operating
Blocked airflow
Incorrect mode setting
Aircon too small for the room
Poor room insulation
Electrical fault
Before assuming the aircon needs gas, the filters, airflow, outdoor unit, and cooling system should be checked.
If your air conditioner blows warm or room-temperature air, the fault may be linked to the cooling cycle, outdoor unit, refrigerant level, sensors, or airflow.
Possible causes include:
Aircon set to fan or heat mode instead of cool mode
Low refrigerant
Dirty filters
Dirty condenser coil
Compressor not running
Outdoor fan fault
Faulty capacitor
Temperature sensor problem
Control board issue
Refrigerant pressure problem
Electrical supply issue
Check the remote setting first. If the unit is on cooling mode and still blows warm air, arrange a repair inspection.
Water leaking from an indoor aircon unit can damage walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and electrical points. Indoor leaks are often caused by drainage or ice-related problems.
Possible causes include:
Blocked drain pipe
Dirty filters reducing airflow
Frozen indoor coil thawing
Poor installation angle
Cracked drain tray
Loose drain pipe
Dirty evaporator coil
Low refrigerant causing ice build-up
Drainage line obstruction
Poor maintenance
If water is dripping near plugs, switches, or electronics, switch off the unit where safe and arrange repair support.
Ice on the indoor unit, pipes, or coils is a warning sign. It does not mean the unit is “working too well.” It often means airflow or refrigerant pressure is not right.
Possible causes include:
Dirty air filters
Restricted airflow
Dirty evaporator coil
Low refrigerant
Indoor fan fault
Blocked return air
Thermostat or sensor problem
Refrigerant pressure issue
Unit running too long without proper airflow
If the aircon is frozen, switch it off and allow it to thaw before further use. Running a frozen aircon can make the fault worse.
An air conditioner that trips electricity should be checked before continued use. Repeated tripping can indicate a serious electrical or compressor-related fault.
Possible causes include:
Compressor electrical fault
Fan motor fault
Damaged wiring
Moisture reaching electrical components
Faulty capacitor
Control board fault
Internal short circuit
Overloaded circuit
Dirty outdoor unit causing overheating
Faulty isolator or power connection
Do not keep resetting the breaker if the aircon continues to trip. Stop using the unit and arrange a fault check.
Some aircon sounds are normal, but new or loud noises should be checked. Rattling, grinding, buzzing, scraping, or clicking may point to a loose part, fan issue, compressor strain, or electrical problem.
Possible causes include:
Loose indoor or outdoor panels
Fan blade obstruction
Worn fan motor
Compressor strain
Ice hitting fan blades
Dirty blower wheel
Loose mounting brackets
Electrical relay clicking
Debris in outdoor unit
Vibration against wall or fittings
If the noise is linked to weak cooling, water leaks, or tripping power, the unit should be inspected quickly.
Weak airflow can make an aircon feel like it is not cooling, even when the cooling system is partly working. Airflow problems also increase strain on the unit.
Possible causes include:
Dirty filters
Blocked vents
Dirty blower wheel
Fan motor problem
Evaporator coil blockage
Ice build-up
Incorrect fan speed setting
Poor installation position
Obstructed indoor unit
Internal airflow restriction
Cleaning filters may help if they are dirty, but persistent weak airflow should be checked.
A bad smell from an air conditioner may be caused by moisture, mould, dust, blocked drainage, dirty filters, or stagnant water inside the unit.
Common aircon smells include:
Damp or musty smell
Dirty sock smell
Burning electrical smell
Stale water smell
Dusty smell after long non-use
Possible causes include:
Dirty filters
Mould growth on internal parts
Blocked drain
Standing water in the drain tray
Dust build-up
Electrical overheating
Dirty evaporator coil
If the smell is electrical or burning, switch off the unit and arrange an inspection.
A good aircon installation is important for comfort, efficiency, cooling performance, and long-term reliability. The wrong size unit, poor indoor placement, poor outdoor ventilation, weak drainage, or incorrect pipework can lead to cooling problems, water leaks, high electricity use, and repeated faults.
We assist with air conditioner installation support for:
Bedrooms
Lounges
Home offices
Apartments and townhouses
Offices and boardrooms
Shops and salons
Guesthouses and lodges
Reception areas
Restaurants and cafés
Small business spaces
Rental and managed properties
Before installation, the room size, layout, sunlight, ceiling height, insulation, number of people, heat-producing equipment, and outdoor unit location should be considered.
Choosing the correct aircon size is important. If the unit is too small, it will run continuously and struggle to cool the room. If it is too large, it may short-cycle and fail to control humidity properly.
Factors that affect aircon size include:
Room size
Ceiling height
Number and size of windows
Afternoon sun exposure
Insulation quality
Number of people using the room
Heat from appliances or electronics
Whether doors are opened often
Room purpose
Desired cooling performance
A bedroom may need a different unit size from a sunny office, shop, salon, or open-plan living space.
Wall-mounted split units are popular in Centurion homes and businesses because they are practical, efficient, and suitable for many room types. A split unit has an indoor unit and outdoor unit connected by pipework, drainage, and electrical wiring.
Installation planning should consider:
Indoor wall position
Outdoor unit placement
Drainage route
Pipework distance
Electrical supply
Service access
Sun exposure
Noise considerations
Airflow direction
Room layout and furniture position
Poor installation can cause water leaks, weak cooling, vibration, compressor strain, or difficult future servicing.
Business air conditioning needs are often different from home cooling. Offices, shops, salons, restaurants, and reception areas may have more people, equipment, glass frontage, lighting, and door traffic.
Important considerations include:
Number of people in the room
Operating hours
Heat from computers or equipment
Customer comfort
Staff comfort
Open doors or foot traffic
Sun-facing windows
Ventilation needs
Noise level
Maintenance access
Energy use
A properly selected and installed aircon can improve comfort and reduce strain during hot periods.
Many aircon problems can be reduced through proper servicing. Dirty filters, blocked drains, dusty coils, and poor airflow can make a unit seem weak even if the refrigerant level is fine.
Aircon maintenance may include:
Cleaning filters
Checking airflow
Inspecting indoor and outdoor units
Checking drainage
Looking for water leaks
Checking unusual noises
Inspecting visible electrical concerns
Checking cooling performance
Cleaning accessible dust build-up where suitable
Looking for signs of refrigerant-related issues
Testing remote and thermostat response
Identifying early fault signs
Aircons used often should be checked before heavy summer use, especially in offices, guesthouses, shops, and busy homes.
An aircon that is not cooling may need regassing, but only if a refrigerant-related problem has been confirmed. Refrigerant should not normally disappear from a sealed system. If the level is low, there may be a leak.
Possible signs of refrigerant problems include:
Weak cooling
Warm air from the indoor unit
Ice forming on pipes or coils
Compressor running for long periods
Hissing sound near pipework
Oil marks near pipe joints
Cooling improved after previous regassing but failed again
Outdoor unit runs but cooling remains weak
Regassing without checking for leaks can lead to repeated faults. For dedicated refrigerant support, visit our aircon regassing in Centurion page.
Not every aircon problem needs the same solution. Some units only need cleaning or servicing. Others may need repair, regassing, leak attention, or replacement.
Service may be suitable when:
Filters are dirty
Airflow is weak
The unit smells musty
The drain is blocked
Cooling is weaker than before but the system still works
The unit has not been serviced in a long time
Repair may be suitable when:
A fan, capacitor, sensor, drain, control, or wiring fault is found
The unit is still in good condition
Parts are available
The repair cost is reasonable
Regassing may be suitable when:
A refrigerant-related fault is confirmed
Leak concerns have been checked
The compressor is still working
The unit is worth repairing
Replacement may be better when:
The aircon is very old
The compressor is weak or damaged
The unit keeps losing gas
Parts are difficult to source
The unit is too small for the room
Repair costs are close to replacement
Electricity use is high compared to newer units
A proper fault assessment helps you choose the option that makes practical sense.

For business aircon faults, mention whether staff, customers, equipment, or trading conditions are affected.
When you contact us, provide your Centurion suburb, aircon type, brand if known, and the symptoms. Mention whether it is not cooling, leaking, making noise, tripping power, showing error codes, or needing installation.
For repairs, the aircon is checked to identify the likely cause. For installation, the room layout, aircon size, indoor position, outdoor placement, drainage route, and electrical requirements may need to be considered.
Once the issue is understood, the repair, service, regassing, or installation option can be explained. This helps you decide what is practical before work continues.
If the work is approved and practical, the repair, servicing, regassing, or installation support is carried out where possible. Some repairs may require replacement parts depending on the brand and model.
After repair or installation, the aircon should be tested for cooling, airflow, drainage, noise, power behaviour, and general operation. New installations should also be checked for water drainage and stable performance.
The cost of air conditioner repairs and installation in Centurion depends on the aircon type, fault, brand, parts required, installation complexity, access, labour time, and whether the work involves servicing, repair, regassing, or new installation.
Pricing may be affected by:
Aircon size and type
Domestic or commercial use
Brand and model
Whether the unit is split, wall-mounted, or commercial
Whether parts are needed
Whether refrigerant work is required
Indoor and outdoor unit access
Electrical requirements
Drainage route
Pipework length
Installation position
Whether previous repairs or installations were done incorrectly
Labour time required for testing and completion
A simple service or drain repair may cost less than compressor faults, control board repairs, leak repairs, regassing, or full installation.
Use caution if your aircon is leaking, tripping power, frozen, or making unusual sounds.
Switch off the unit if it trips electricity
Stop using it if there is a burning smell
Turn it off if ice forms on pipes or the indoor unit
Do not open electrical panels yourself
Keep water away from plugs and switches
Do not keep restarting a unit that shuts off
Clear objects away from the indoor and outdoor units
Mention any water leaks, error codes, or unusual noises when booking
Avoid DIY refrigerant work
Do not run the unit continuously if it is not cooling

Yes. We assist with selected air conditioner installation support in Centurion, including wall-mounted and split-unit aircons for homes, offices, shops, guesthouses, and small business spaces.
An aircon may stop cooling because of dirty filters, dirty coils, low refrigerant, fan problems, compressor faults, thermostat or sensor issues, blocked airflow, electrical faults, or incorrect mode settings.
Indoor leaking may be caused by a blocked drain pipe, dirty filters, frozen coil thawing, poor installation angle, cracked drain tray, loose drain pipe, or low refrigerant causing ice build-up.
Possibly, but regassing should only be done after proper checks. Weak cooling can also be caused by dirty filters, blocked airflow, fan faults, dirty coils, compressor problems, or electrical faults.
Ice may form because of low refrigerant, dirty filters, restricted airflow, dirty coils, indoor fan faults, thermostat problems, or pressure issues. Switch off the unit and allow it to thaw before arranging a fault check.
Yes. An aircon that trips electricity may have a compressor fault, fan motor issue, damaged wiring, moisture problem, faulty capacitor, control board fault, or internal short. Stop using it if it keeps tripping.
Aircon size depends on room size, ceiling height, sunlight, insulation, number of people, heat from equipment, and room use. A unit that is too small will struggle, while one that is too large may cycle poorly.
It depends on the aircon’s age, condition, parts availability, fault type, and repair cost. Repair may make sense for a limited fault, while replacement may be better if the compressor is failing, the unit keeps losing gas, or repair costs are too high.
