An air conditioner is an essential element of a comfortable microclimate in the summer heat. In summer, the device is used to cool the room, and in the off-season – for heating.

Like any equipment, eventually, the air conditioner breaks down and needs repair and further service.

Alter Air provides not only “air conditioner repair” services, but also climate system service maintenance.

Frequent failures in the operation of the air conditioner

Common causes of failure:

1. Not timely service maintenance.

Service maintenance is necessary not only to prevent breakdowns of the air conditioner, but also to maintain sanitary and hygienic standards indoors.

Due to the lack of service maintenance, dirt, and dust accumulate in the indoor and outdoor unit of the air conditioning system, which contributes to the following consequences:

  • inefficient operation of the air conditioner;
  • the noise level increases;
  • clogging of the drainage system;
  • increased load on the system due to dirty filters, which can damage the device.

Therefore, if you want your system to work properly for a long period of time, regular service maintenance is necessary. More detailed information about the maintenance service, you can find on our website.

Mishandling

2. Mishandling

Air conditioners are not recommended for use in dusty places, such as:

  • garage;
  • utility service room;
  • a room where repairs are being carried out, etc.

During the operation of the air conditioning system, it is necessary to close the windows. Since the supply of warm outdoor air increases the load on the air conditioner, which contributes to an increase in energy costs for air cooling and rapid wear of the device.

The most common problems that we deal with

Air conditioner does not turn on

There are enough reasons why the air conditioner may not turn on:

  1. problems with power supply in an apartment or a house;
  2. problems with the power supply of the split system itself (indoor or outdoor units);
  3. damage to the power cable.

The air conditioner provides not enough cooling

The first possible reason is a heat exchanger clogged with dust. Not timely service contributes to the fact that the heat exchanger in the indoor unit of the air conditioner is clogged with dust and dirt, and the heat exchange process between the refrigerant and warm room air is disrupted. As a result, the air conditioner does not cool well.

​The second reason is the presence of dust and dirt inside the outdoor unit. Subsequently, the principle of operation of the air conditioning system is violated. Freon is not cooled to the desired temperature; therefore, it cannot ensure that the room temperature drops to the set level.

​The third reason is a refrigerant leak. This situation may be caused by:

  • ​poor-quality installation of the system;
  • low-quality flaring of the copper pipeline;
  • ​mechanical damage to the Freon line etc.​

Air conditioner leaking

Because of improper installation or clogging of the drainage system, the air conditioner begins to leak.

Installation errors:

  1. low-quality thermal insulation of the Freon line or its absence;
  2. incorrect slope or length of the drainage system;
  3. bend in the drain pipe.

If there are clogs in the drainage system, then a large amount of condensate accumulates in certain places, which is not removed into the sewer. As a result, condensate starts to flow out through the top of the drain pan.

Electronics problems

Common causes of electronics problems:

  • problems with the electrical connection in the house;
  • poor build quality of the air conditioner;
  • mishandling;
  • equipment aging;
  • unauthorized installation and repair – the most common problem.

Compressor failure

Most likely, a compressor failure may occur due to:

  • electronics mishandling;
  • improper installation;
  • refrigerant leaks;
  • not timely service maintenance or its complete absence.

In the worst case, the compressor may burn out. Therefore, it may be necessary to repair or replace this element.

The repair of air conditioners in Kyiv from Alter Air implies:

  1. repair of electronics failures;
  2. Freon filling;
  3. repair of the mechanical elements of the system;
  4. replacement of components in the compressor, etc.

In order to prevent possible failures and ensure the microclimate in the room, which will comply with sanitary and hygienic standards, regular service maintenance is required, at least 2 times a year (in spring and autumn).

Repair of air conditioners – price in Alter Air

The cost of repairing and maintaining air conditioners depends on several factors.

If we are talking about service maintenance, then the cost depends on the type of indoor unit and the capacity of the system. For example, service maintenance of a split system with a capacity of 2-5 kW costs 1000 UAH, and service maintenance of a system with a capacity of 5-12 kW costs 1200 UAH.

Repair services have a different pricing principle. It all depends on the degree of damage to the equipment.

Stages of repairing the air conditioner

The process takes place in several stages:

  1. Visit of the air conditioner repair person. It should be noted that the split systems failure and others needs a detailed examination. The first stage is the visit of the air conditioner specialist (in Kyiv and the region) to the facility for an urgent investigation of the breakdown to provide quick and correct diagnostics of the problem.
  2. Diagnostics of the problem. Troubleshooting is in progress. We identify the problem and find out the causes, and then we investigate how to eliminate it. Understanding the cause of the problem is the most important task. If the cause has not been identified, then with normal repairs and replacement of parts (without eliminating the cause), the problem is likely to recur. The Alter Air company performs diagnostics of air conditioners in Kyiv and the region.
  3. Estimate. A cost estimation is provided with the following items: a list of necessary works; the price for each service; the list of materials used; the price for materials. As a result, you get the exact cost of the upcoming repair.
  4. The solution to the difficulty is the direct repairing of the air conditioner. At this stage, all the necessary parts and materials are purchased. The next thing is the replacement of parts and repair of the split system. Repair takes place either onsite or at the Alter Air service department, depending on the extent of the breakdown.
  5. Delivery of completed works. Before payment, the system is checked and launched. Thereafter, the device is put into operation again.
