With regular aircon servicing, an aircon can last about 6-7 years.

There are 2 main reasons why your aircon is leaking.

1. Choke in your drainage pipes : In this case, we will clear the choke for you in your drainage pipes.

2. Over-condensation of water droplets on your evaporating coils. In this case, we will advise you to do chemical wash to remove the dirt and dust in your aircon unit.

There are various reasons as to why your aircon is not cold but here are some of the possibilities:

1. Internally clogged with too much dirt and dust

2. Your system is short of gas.

3. Capacitor is faulty.

4. Thermistor faulty

5. PCB (Printed Circuit Board) faulty

There are numerous other issues that your aircon could be facing such as a gas leak etc. Hence, it is always important to let an experienced technician conduct a proper assessment before any job is done so the right problem can be fixed with the right solution.

You will need to do gas top up when your system is short of the R410a or R22 gas. This is a refrigerant that enables the exchange of heat from the outside with the heat inside your room. A gas top up should never be done when the system is full of gas already.

A chemical wash will ensure that the evaporating coils, air filters and water trays are cleaned properly. This prevents mold growth that can potentially affect your health and general well-being. On the other hand, a chemical overhaul is even more thorough as we will dismantle the whole aircon unit, apply a chemical wash for each dismantled part and then put it back. This will ensure a fool proof clean for your aircon’s insides and also completely remove all mold. Note that chemical wash procedures do not consist of dismantling as is done at the aircon itself with proper containment equipment to prevent any leakages on your floor.
