Full preventative service: coil clean, filter replacement, drain flush, gas pressure check and electrical torque test. In Lonehill 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 Lonehill, and diagnostics start from the plated design data rather than a guess.Hard water in this part of Johannesburg lays scale on evaporator plates, distribution tubes and sumps within months. We strip, descale with food-safe acid, sanitise, and re-test output, then leave a hygiene record you can show an inspector.Most complexes are boomed with visitor biometrics. Aircon Repairs & Servicing bookings in Lonehill 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
Is scale really a problem for ice machines here?
Yes, it is the single biggest cause of lost output on this water supply. Scale insulates the evaporator, so the machine runs longer for less ice and eventually pits the plate. Regular descaling is far cheaper than an evaporator replacement.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
There is water on the floor under my ice machine, can you find the leak?
We trace it wet rather than guessing: inlet valve weep, split distribution tube, blocked machine drain or a backed-up bin drain all present the same way. The water side is pressure-tested before we recommission.
How urgent is a slow harvest cycle?
Treat it as urgent. A stalling harvest leaves the plate frozen solid, output collapses and the compressor runs against high head pressure, which is how a cheap solenoid fault turns into a compressor replacement.
