Full preventative service: coil clean, filter replacement, drain flush, gas pressure check and electrical torque test. In Fourways Gardens this is luxury gated estates work on midwall split systems, attended within about 65 minutes of dispatch.We work across every major brand installed in Fourways Gardens, and diagnostics start from the plated design data rather than a guess.Cloudy, soft or hollow cubes point at water quality, a low water level in the sump, a partially scaled evaporator, or a machine running short cycles. We test water hardness and TDS on site, then correct the freeze cycle time so cubes come out clear and at full weight.Estate rules limit noise and require screened condensers. Aircon Repairs & Servicing bookings in Fourways Gardens are logged against Block 12 so we can allow for power availability on site.

Refrigerant data
| Gas | Classification | Suction pressure | Discharge pressure | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R410a | HFC blend (A1) | 280-320 kPa at 7 degrees C evaporating | 2 600-3 000 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Most inverter splits, ducted systems, VRV/VRF and heat pumps installed since 2005. |
| R32 | HFC (A2L, mildly flammable) | 300-340 kPa at 7 degrees C evaporating | 2 700-3 100 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Current-generation inverter splits and heat pumps. |
| R22 | HCFC (phased out) | 480-520 kPa at 7 degrees C evaporating | 1 700-2 000 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Legacy splits and ducted plant installed before the phase-out. |
Common questions
Why is my ice cloudy or melting too fast?
Cloudy, soft ice means the freeze cycle is being cut short or the water is carrying too many dissolved solids. We test hardness and TDS on site, fit the right filtration, descale the plate and re-time the cycle so cubes freeze clear and hard.
Do you work inside gated estates?
Regularly. Technician details, ID numbers and vehicle registration are submitted to the HOA or gatehouse before the appointment so access is cleared in advance.
Is a compressor replacement guaranteed?
Yes. Replacements are done with a system flush and new drier, and both part and workmanship are warranted, provided the original cause of failure is corrected.
My ice machine runs but makes no ice, is it worth repairing?
Usually yes. The four common causes (water inlet valve, water pump, scaled evaporator and a stalled harvest cycle) are all repairable at a fraction of replacement cost. We quote in writing after the diagnostic and tell you honestly when a machine is past economic repair.
