Residential · Repairs & maintenance
If your air conditioner isn't cooling, is leaking or making a noise, we find the cause first, then explain the repair and what it will cost before we do it.
Airmax repairs split and ducted air conditioning in Melbourne homes. We diagnose the fault by checking the controls, airflow, electrical parts and refrigerant system, then explain what's wrong and quote the repair before any work goes ahead.
We work across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Every job starts with a written quote.
Most repair calls start with one of a few symptoms. The system runs but doesn't cool. Airflow is weak. Water drips from the indoor unit. There's a rattle, buzz or squeal. Or the unit shows an error code or won't turn on at all.
We don't guess at repairs. We check the controller and settings first, then filters and airflow, then the electrical supply, capacitors, fan motors and sensors. If the fault points to the refrigerant system, we measure pressures and look for leaks.
Once we know the cause, we explain it in plain terms and quote the repair. Nothing is replaced until you agree.
Many faults come down to a single worn part, such as a fan motor, capacitor, sensor or control board. These can usually be replaced once the right part is sourced. Larger repairs include refrigerant leaks and compressor failures, which take more time and cost more.
Our specialist pages cover fault finding, refrigerant leaks, compressor replacement and parts replacement in more detail.
Repair usually makes sense when the system is in reasonable condition and the part is available. Replacement may be the better choice when the system is old, the repair is expensive, parts are no longer made, or it uses an older refrigerant that is hard to service.
We'll give you both options when it's close, so you can decide.
A few details help us bring the right parts and diagnose the fault faster. Photos of the indoor and outdoor units, the model label and any error code on the display are the most useful.
Call, email or send the form with your suburb, the system and what you need. Photos help.
We look at the system and the home, check access, and work out what's needed.
You get a written quote that lists the work included and anything it depends on.
Our licensed technicians do the agreed work at a time that suits you and keep the home tidy.
We test the system, explain what we did and show you how to use it.

Common causes are a blocked filter or coil, a fan that isn't running properly, a faulty sensor or board, or low refrigerant from a leak. Check the filters and the mode setting first. If it still won't cool, we'll diagnose the cause.
It depends on the system's age and condition, the cost of the repair, and whether parts are available. We explain both options when the decision isn't clear-cut.
Usually a blocked drain line or tray, or a dirty coil causing ice to form and then melt. Turn the unit off to avoid damage and book a check.
Scheduled servicing for split and ducted systems: cleaning, operating checks and a note of anything that needs repair.
Systematic diagnosis of electrical, control and performance faults in air conditioning and refrigeration.
Finding and repairing refrigerant leaks in air conditioning and refrigeration, then testing before recharging.
Confirming a compressor fault, then replacing it or advising when a new system makes more sense.
