Not sure what to ask for? Start with what the aircon is doing. The guide below points you to the right page, and the request form takes a description in your own words.
Free to request. No obligation to go ahead.
Aircon24 takes requests for four jobs in Gauteng: installing a new split unit, repairing a faulty one, servicing one that works, and finding and fixing a refrigerant leak. If your unit isn't cooling, start with repair. If it's a new room, that's installation. Send a request and we'll call you back with the price.
Find your situation. Each line points to the page that explains it.
Start with aircon repair. Warm or weak airflow has many possible causes, so start with fault diagnosis. Refrigerant work is only one possible outcome. If someone has told you it needs gas, read regas and leak repair before you agree to a top-up.
Also aircon repair. Keep away if water is near electrical equipment. Do not touch wet switches, plugs or the unit, and arrange a safe electrical assessment. Don't open panels or touch wiring.
Ask for a repair quote and a like-for-like replacement quote. Compare scope, unit condition, repeated faults and whether it is correctly sized. A replacement is an aircon installation, and the cost guide shows what published prices look like.
That's a new aircon installation. The size depends on the room, the sun, the glass and the ceiling, so say what the room is used for.
That's what aircon service and maintenance is for. ServiceLink SA recommends servicing before summer.
Read the inverter aircon guide. An inverter aircon does not run through a power cut by itself. It needs a compatible backup supply. Check the unit's starting and running demand, other connected loads, battery capability and expected runtime with the person assessing the backup system.
A new split unit sized for the room, mounted, piped, drained, wired and tested. Includes the replacement of an old unit. Often confused with: repair, when an old unit is failing.
Finding out why a unit isn't cooling, leaking, noisy or tripping the breaker, and fixing it. Often confused with: service, when nothing is actually broken yet.
A scheduled look at the filters, the coils and the drain, so small problems are found early. Often confused with: regas, when the real question is why the charge is low.
For split units in homes and offices, not car aircon. Refrigerant is not used up in normal operation. A low charge can result from a leak or an incorrect previous charge, so the cause needs diagnosis before refrigerant is added.
Larger systems, such as multi-head, ducted or commercial installations, are assessment-led. They are quoted after a look at the job.
Published prices from named sources sit side by side, each with its date, and a note on why they differ and what moves the number. Your own price needs the job details.
How an inverter unit differs from a fixed-speed one, what that means for running it on backup power, and when a fixed-speed unit is still fine.
Two rules sit behind most aircon jobs.
Ask who will do each part before you say yes to a quote. And leave panels, refrigerant lines and wiring alone. Outdoor units on high walls add a fall risk to the list.
Each area page covers the four services as they apply there.
Somewhere nearby? Send the request anyway and give your suburb and city.
Describe what you notice. If something has changed, like weaker cooling, a new noise, water or a tripped breaker, treat it as a repair. If everything works and it's simply been a while, that's a service. The request form takes either, in your own words.
Regas is also a car aircon job. This site's regas and leak pages are about split units in homes and offices. If the unit you mean is on a wall, you're in the right place.
Yes. Use the "What do you need?" box and say what's going on. Your price depends on the job, so we'll ask a few questions when we call you back. You'll know the price and scope before you agree to anything.
Yes. It costs nothing, and there's no obligation to go ahead. You pay only for work you agree to.
Tell us what you need. Send a request and we'll call you back to go through the job and confirm the price and scope. You'll know both before you agree to anything.
