Six aircon services across Johannesburg

We connect homeowners, landlords and small businesses across the Johannesburg metro with independent air conditioning contractors for the services below. Each has its own page that explains what the work involves, the signs that you need it, how a contractor usually goes about it and what moves the quote. Where there is a local page for your suburb, it is linked under the service.

Not sure which you need? Describe the room or the unit on the contact form and choose "Something else". We will work out which kind of contractor to pass it to.

Aircon installation

Choosing the unit is the smaller half of the job. Getting it sized, placed and piped correctly is the bigger half, and it is the half you live with for years. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg aircon contractor who looks at the rooms first and quotes you directly.

Local pages: Sandton, Bryanston, Fourways, Randburg, Midrand, Roodepoort

Aircon repair

A unit that has stopped cooling, will not switch on, drips onto a wall or trips a circuit needs someone who can find the actual fault rather than guess at parts. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg aircon contractor who does that work and quotes you directly.

Aircon servicing

A service is the least expensive thing you can do to an air conditioner and the one most often skipped. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg aircon contractor who cleans and checks the unit, and quotes you directly for the work.

Aircon gas refill

A sealed air conditioner does not use its refrigerant up. If the system is low, something is leaking, and filling it without finding the leak just buys you time until it happens again. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg aircon contractor who checks first and quotes you directly.

Commercial aircon

A workplace cooling system is a different job from a bedroom unit: more rooms, longer hours, and a business that cannot shut down for a week. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg contractor who works to that brief and quotes you directly.

Ducted aircon installation

A ducted system cools a whole building from one plant, with no indoor heads on the walls. It is the tidiest answer and the one that needs the most planning, because the ducts and the plant have to fit somewhere. We connect you with an independent Johannesburg contractor who plans it properly and quotes you directly.

A fault is not the same as a service

A repair finds a fault and fixes it: a failed fan, a control board, a blocked drain, or a refrigerant leak. A service is a clean and a check that takes a working unit back to how it ran when it was new. A clean is the right answer when a unit is working but tired; a repair is the right answer when something has stopped working. A contractor should tell you which you need, and why.

It is also worth separating a unit that is low on refrigerant from one that is simply dirty. Cooling that faded over months points at a slow leak; airflow that feels weaker than it used to points at a filter and coil that need cleaning. Both are covered by aircon gas refill and by the repair page, and neither should be guessed at from a distance.

What we do not do

We do not install, service or repair air conditioners, we do not set contractors' prices and we do not warrant their work. We do not publish prices, ratings or credentials that nobody has confirmed. The contractor quotes you directly and is responsible for the work. Read how Aircon Johannesburg works, and our guide to what moves an installation quote.
