Darwin & Palmerston Air Conditioning and Electrical Services

It could be something simple like dirty filters, or it could be something more complex like a refrigerant leak or faulty part. First off make sure the aircon turns on, check your filters are clean, and make sure the fan is blowing. I’d also recommend making sure the settings are correct on the control. If it’s still not working correctly, give us a call and we’re happy to help.

This is generally a sign that your airconditioner is due for its annual or bi-annual service. It could be leaking for several different reasons, but usually it is due to a blocked drain. Start off by making sure your filters are clean. If it’s still leaking water, give us a call.

This is because of mold, mildew, or bacteria buildup inside the unit. This is all hazardous to your health, and it is recommended to have a technician attend to carry out servicing on your airconditioner as required.

Possible noises:
Rattling – Loose parts.
Hissing – Refrigerant leak.
Buzzing – Electrical issues or a faulty fan motor.
Turn it off and contact us. Try to avoid running it as there could be a potential fire hazard from faulty electrical components.

It’s probably flat batteries! Replace those first. If it still doesn’t work, it’s most likely faulty. Give us a call and we can provide new remotes for all popular brands.

If your aircon is leaking, not cooling, making loud noises, or you notice unusual smells. It’s a good idea to have a technician check your aircons at least once every 2 years, and usually every 12 months depending on usage. Regular servicing helps prevent costly breakdowns.
