Nowhere in South Africa works an aircon harder than Durban: the humidity clogs coils with mould, blocks drain lines and steals cooling capacity months faster than inland climates. Our full service goes beyond a filter rinse — deep-cleaning the indoor coil and blower, flushing the drain line that causes most indoor leaks, cleaning the condenser, checking gas pressures and verifying the actual temperature drop before sign-off.
We service, regas and repair split, inverter and cassette units in homes, offices and shops across Umhlanga, Westville, Morningside and the CBD, and we install correctly-sized new units from 9000 to 24000 BTU — because an oversized aircon in Durban cools the room while leaving it clammy.
We regularly work around Umhlanga, Ballito-bound North Coast homes, Westville, Morningside and the CBD — if you can see those, you are well inside our fast-response zone.
Durban humidity is brutal on air conditioners. Coils clog, drains block, coastal air corrodes outdoor units, and a slow gas leak quietly turns your aircon into an expensive fan. A proper service once or twice a year keeps the unit efficient, the air healthy and the electricity bill honest.
We service and repair split units, inverters and cassettes: deep chemical cleans of the indoor coil, drain clearing and treatment, electrical checks, and regassing done the right way — leak-test first, repair the leak, then regas. Topping up gas over a leak just rents you cold air until it escapes again.
New installation? We size the unit to the actual room — sun load, ceiling height, glass area — because an undersized unit never cools and an oversized one short-cycles itself to an early death.

We know the complexes, suburbs & coastal weather.
In coastal KZN conditions, once a year minimum — twice if it runs daily or you are close to the sea in Durban. Humidity and salt air clog coils and corrode outdoor units faster here than inland.
Maybe — but gas does not get "used up"; if it is low, it leaked. We leak-test first, repair the leak, then regas. A straight top-up without finding the leak is money down the drain, and we will not do it.
Mould and bacteria growing on the indoor coil and in the drain pan — extremely common in humid coastal air. A deep chemical clean removes it and noticeably improves cooling and air quality.
A blocked condensate drain in almost all cases, occasionally an installation slope issue. We clear and treat the drain line so it stays clear.
As a rough guide: 9000 BTU for small bedrooms, 12000 for standard bedrooms/offices, 18000 for living areas, 24000 for open-plan spaces — but sun load and ceiling height shift those numbers, so we confirm on the quote.
