Diagnose Before Replacing
Expert Diagnostics and Reliable Air Conditioning Repairs
When an air conditioning system stops cooling, leaks water, trips the power, displays an error code or begins making unusual noises, accurate fault finding is the most important first step.
At Airsense Air Conditioning, we use hands-on experience, appropriate testing procedures and honest diagnostics to identify the underlying cause before recommending repairs or replacing components unnecessarily.
Once the fault has been identified, we explain our findings and the recommended repair work before carrying out additional work.
⚙Reliable Replacement Components
Genuine or Manufacturer-Approved Spare Parts
Where replacement components are required, we aim to use genuine or manufacturer-approved spare parts whenever they are available and suitable for the system.
Using the correct replacement component can help protect the equipment, improve reliability and reduce repeat component failures.

Why is fault finding charged separately from the repair?
Diagnosis requires time, experience and testing to identify the actual fault. Once known, repairs and required parts can be quoted accurately.
Can you repair an air conditioner that is not cooling?
Yes. Poor cooling may be caused by airflow restrictions, dirty components, refrigerant leaks, sensor faults or electrical faults. Testing identifies the cause.
Does an air conditioner need refrigerant every year?
No. Refrigerant operates in a sealed system. A low charge should be checked for a leak or another fault before refrigerant is added.
Are spare parts included in the fault-finding fee?
No. Replacement parts and additional repair work are quoted separately after the fault has been identified.
