Frequently Asked Questions

  • Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

    Whether to repair or replace your air conditioner depends on several key factors:


    • Age of the system: If your unit is over 10–15 years old, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run.
    • Cost of the repair: A common rule is that if the repair cost exceeds 50% of the price of a new unit, replacement should be considered.
    • Frequency of breakdowns: If the system has required frequent repairs, it's a sign that it's near the end of its lifespan.
    • Energy efficiency: Older models tend to be less energy-efficient, so upgrading can lead to significant savings on your electricity bills.
    • Performance: If your system struggles to maintain temperature or runs loudly and inconsistently, upgrading may be the better option.

    That said, if your system is relatively new, well-maintained and the issue is minor, repair is usually the best and most affordable choice.

  • Why is my air conditioner not cooling properly?

    If your air conditioner isn’t cooling the way it should, there are several possible causes. The most common issue is a dirty air filter, which restricts airflow and reduces system efficiency. Another common culprit is low refrigerant levels, which usually indicate a leak that needs to be repaired by a licensed technician. Dirty or clogged condenser coils (outside) or evaporator coils (inside) can also interfere with heat exchange, preventing the system from effectively cooling your space.


    Other possibilities include a malfunctioning thermostat, blocked or leaking ductwork (for ducted systems), or electrical problems within the unit. In some cases, the system may be the wrong size for your space, making it work harder than it should. If your unit is older, wear and tear on components could also be affecting its performance. A professional diagnosis is usually required to find the exact cause and determine whether repair or replacement is the better option.

  • Is it safe to keep using an air conditioner that isn’t working properly?

    While it may be tempting to keep using a faulty air conditioner, it’s not always safe—or smart. Running a system with electrical faults, refrigerant issues, clogged filters or mechanical problems can cause further damage and lead to expensive repairs or even complete system failure. In some cases, particularly with refrigerant leaks or overheating components, continued use can pose health or safety risks.


    If your system is making strange noises, producing poor airflow, leaking water or giving off bad smells, it’s best to switch it off and call a professional. Prompt repairs can prevent minor problems from escalating into major ones.
