Which parts of an air conditioner can we repair?
At Climate Plus, our expert technicians have the qualifications and expertise required to fix a wide range of issues. We are fully capable of repairing or replacing the following components of an air conditioning system:
Aircon filter repairs
An air conditioner filter is often the component that needs to be repaired or replaced the most. Filter repairs typically cover issues like:
- Vacuuming and cleaning: Typically, the best way to repair an AC filter is to clean it and the area around it. Our team will give your entire unit a safe and thorough cleaning as part of our routine services. This includes carefully putting the filter back in place. Cleaning will also include clearing out any blockages of the condensate drain line.
- Replacement: During inspection, we will identify if the filter is too damaged, and then note the size and type of your filter. We will then safely clean your unit and carefully install the new filter into place. We recommend replacing your air conditioner’s filter every 1-2 years.
Electrical component repairs
Electrical components frequently cause issues with air conditioners. Our expert technicians will examine key components such as:
- Wiring and connections: If wiring is damaged, it can disrupt the operation of your system. We’ll carefully examine your connection for wiring issues, damage or electrical safety issues. We will then either repair or replace any faulty components we find.
- Capacitor: The capacitor is the key component to storing electrical energy and is how the unit starts and maintains operation. Capacitor issues usually indicate it needs to be replaced. Our team will safely disconnect your old component and reinstall a new capacitor without causing any damage to your unit.
Internal component repairs
There are other key components of an air conditioner that will need to be examined to determine what needs repair or replacement. Our team will inspect key internal components such as:
- Fan: Our team will examine if the fan’s motor or blades are damaged or having issues, and if they are properly connected to the capacitor. We’ll test the motor, tighten any loose screws or bolts, and repair or replace loose connections. If necessary, we can also replace the entire fan unit.
- Coils: We’ll determine if the evaporator or condenser coils are damaged, leaking or dirty. We will then determine if they need replacing, or can be fixed with sealant or refrigerant. We will finally clean any dirty coils to ensure there is less corrosion.
- Refrigerant leaks: If we suspect there is a leak in your AC, we will diagnose and repair the cause, and ensure your system is topped back up.
- Thermostat: We’ll check if a malfunction is caused by issues with the thermostat or if it’s being affected by direct sunlight. We will either help you relocate the thermostat or if necessary, replace or repair it.
Signs your air conditioner needs repairs
Here are a few signs that your air conditioner may need repairs:
- Constant cycling: If you can hear your air conditioner constantly turning on and off again, it could indicate that there is a dirty filter, a malfunctioning thermostat or low refrigerant.
- Warm air: If your system is blowing warm air rather than cool air, there may be an issue with the filter or compressor. Your device may also be low on refrigerant.
- Unusual smells: Mouldy or musky smells coming from the air or your device could mean there is an issue with the filter. It could be too dirty or have mould growth. A bad smell could also be caused by a clogged drain pan.
- Odd noises: If you can hear loud noises like a buzzing, grinding or rattling sound, an internal component could be damaged.
- Water leaks: Clogged condensate drains, air filters or damaged drain pans can prevent drainage, causing an overflow to leak out of the unit.
- High energy bills: When your system has broken pieces, it needs to use more energy in order to cool, causing a potential spike in your power bill.
The importance of preventative aircon maintenance
The best way to avoid needing repairs for your device is to book annual air conditioning service at least once a year. The benefits of air conditioning maintenance and servicing include:
- Greater efficiency: With preventative air conditioning maintenance, your device will operate more efficiently and use less energy to cool your home.
- Prevent issues from forming: By catching issues like dirt build-up early, we can prevent the damage that needs to be repaired from occurring in the first place.
- Less repair costs: By catching smaller issues before they become bigger problems, we can reduce the number of overall repairs your system needs.
- Increase longevity: You can enjoy your unit for longer before needing to replace it with regular maintenance checks to keep it in top shape.
- Maintain warranty: Manufacturers typically have warranty requirements that you schedule maintenance checks. We work closely with leading manufacturers in the Australian market, so we’re well-versed in servicing your system in a compliant way.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most common AC repair?
The most common air conditioner repair is cleaning or replacing a dirty or clogged air filter. Issues with air filters can lead to problems such as reduced airflow, smells, frozen evaporator coils or a bigger energy bill.
Is it worth fixing an AC?
Whether it’s worth fixing an air conditioner or evaporative cooler depends on several factors, including:
- Cost: Consider how much the repairs will cost compared to the price of installing a newer unit. If you need to replace an expensive component like a compressor, it may be more efficient to simply buy a new model.
- Efficiency: How efficient is your current system compared to newer models? If a newer model is more effective and energy efficient, it may be a good idea to replace it with a brand new air conditioning system.
- Age: If the system is more than 10-15 years old, it may be better to buy a newer model. This is especially true if your current model has had multiple breakdowns in a short time period.
Contact us online or on 02 6185 5151 to discuss whether repairs or replacement is more appropriate in your situation.
What is the number one cause of AC failure?
A significant amount of air conditioner failure can be traced back to a failure to regularly maintain a system. For example, without regular maintenance, the filters and coils can build up a large amount of dirt and debris, causing strain and blockages in the system.
Should I turn the AC off if it is not cooling?
Yes, if your device is not cooling, then it is recommended to turn it off. If you continue to run a malfunctioning AC, you can potentially cause further damage or create a safety hazard.
How to tell if AC is low on refrigerant?
If your AC has weak or warm airflow, is taking longer to cool or is causing a higher energy bill, it may be low on refrigerant. You may also see that there is an ice buildup on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines, or a hissing, bubbling sound from the unit.
