Common Aircon Problems in Singapore

Air conditioners not cooling rooms can trouble many homes. Dirty air filters, low refrigerant levels, and faulty compressors are often to blame. Clogged air filters block airflow, making it hard for the unit to cool your home.
Running low on refrigerant means the system can’t remove heat effectively. If the compressor isn’t working right, it disrupts the whole cooling cycle.
Leaks and strange noises also signal problems. Water leaking from an AC unit could point to a blocked drain line or broken pump, while odd sounds might suggest loose parts inside. Regular checks and cleaning ensure parts like evaporator coils and condenser units work well, preventing issues like frozen coils or overheated systems.
To keep things running smoothly, we tackle these common issues daily with quick fixes that last.
Causes of Inadequate Cooling
Dirty filters and blocked air ducts make it hard for your aircon to cool your home. Dust and debris clog the system, reducing airflow and performance. We often see units struggling because they haven’t been cleaned regularly.
A simple cleaning can bring back cool air.
Low refrigerant levels also cause poor cooling. The refrigerant is essential for removing heat from the air inside your home. If there’s a leak, the unit can’t cool effectively. Our team checks for leaks and refills refrigerant to fix this problem.
Faulty fans or a broken thermostat impact how well your aircon works too. Fans that don’t move air properly or a thermostat not reading temperatures right mean your unit won’t cool as it should.
Replacing these parts helps get things working again.
Lastly, the incorrect size of the AC unit for your space leads to inadequate cooling. A too-small unit works too hard without cooling enough, while a too-big one short cycles without removing humidity well.
Getting the right size matters for comfortable, efficient cooling.
Resolving Air Conditioner Water Leaks
We find and fix air conditioner water leaks fast. First, we check the drain pan and pipes for damage. If we spot cracks, we replace them right away to stop leaks. Sometimes, dirt blocks the drain line leading to leaks.
We clean it out thoroughly. Our smart tools help us diagnose problems quickly so your aircon stops leaking and works like new again. We use our 25 years of experience to ensure your aircon is leak-free.
Dealing with Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant leaks can stop your aircon from cooling your home. These leaks are serious because the refrigerant makes the air cold. If you notice your air conditioning isn’t working right or is blowing warm air, it could be a leak.
Fixing these leaks fast is key.
Our team finds and fixes these leaks quickly. We use smart tools to find out where the leak is coming from. Then, we fix it so your aircon can start cooling again. Making sure there’s enough refrigerant and no leaks keeps everything running smoothly.
Managing Frozen Evaporator Coils
We often see aircon units struggle, especially with frozen evaporator coils. This issue stops cold air from flowing and makes your space hot. Fixing this starts with turning off the aircon to let the ice melt.
Next, we check for clogged filters or blocked airflow; both can freeze coils. Regular maintenance helps prevent this problem by keeping filters clean and ensuring clear airflow.
Dirt and debris are enemies of your aircon’s health. These block air and make it hard for the unit to cool your room. To keep things running smoothly, clean or replace filters every three months and ensure nothing blocks the front grille and vents of the unit.
This simple step keeps evaporator coils from freezing over and saves you time and money on repairs.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance
Looking after your aircon properly means you stop problems before they begin. Regular upkeep prevents common issues such as water leaks and short cycling. It ensures the air conditioner runs smoothly, cooling more effectively while using less energy.
In turn, air conditioners last longer without needing big repairs.
During a service visit, we check everything—filters, coils, and circuit breakers—to ensure all parts function well together. By doing this routinely, we reduce the chance of sudden breakdowns.
Your indoor air remains clean, cool, and comfortable throughout the year. Furthermore, a properly maintained unit saves money on electricity bills by operating more efficiently.
