Common Air Conditioning Issues We Fix
Air Conditioner Not Cooling
By far the most common issue we hear from Melbourne homeowners is that the air coming from the air conditioner is not sufficiently cool. This could be caused by:
- Low refrigerant levels
- Dirty filters or coils
- Faulty thermostats
Prevention Tip:
Water Leaking From Air Conditioner
If your AC's condensate tray is clogged or refrigerant levels are low, this can lead to water damage and mould growth which can circulate through your home.
Prevention Tip:
Air Conditioner Making Strange Noises
Any odd noises such as banging, screeching, or rubbing could indicate a mechanical issue, often due to loose parts or a broken fan motor.
Prevention Tip:
Air Conditioner Not Turning On
If your system fails to start, it can mean a small issue related to the electrical components or thermostat. In other cases it can be a more serious issue such as a damaged compressor.
Prevention Tip:
Air Conditioner Blowing Hot Air
A variety of problems can cause your air conditioner to blow hot air, it could be due to low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or dirty condenser coils.

Air Conditioner Repair Melbourne FAQ
Almost all air conditioning repairs in Melbourne can be completed within 1-3 hours. Of course, this depends on the complexity of the issue. For larger repairs involving compressor or motor replacements, this can take longer. With that considered, we strive to repair your system as quickly as possible.
Certainly, we deal with refrigerant leaks and water leaks on the daily and it’s an issue that our technicians can handle during a repair visit. If you leave a refrigerant leak too long you will experience poor cooling, whilst water leaks can damage parts and allow mould to thrive. Address these issues as soon as you are aware of them by calling our air conditioner repair service in Melbourne.
An AC repair in Melbourne can cost very little or a lot depending on the system and repair needed. Replacement of filters and cleaning will cost much less than larger issues like a refrigerant leak or compressor failure.
The best way to prevent air conditioning repair and breakdown is to regularly service your air conditioner. During a routine maintenance of your air conditioning we catch these issues before they fester and become large repairs.
Yes, we regularly do same-day air conditioning repairs, but we can’t guarantee it as it is subject to availability. When your air conditioner is broken down, we offer an emergency air conditioning repair and can resolve almost all issues the same day.
