Outdoor Condenser Unit troubleshooting

Poor cooling from a unit boxed into a narrow space

What you'll notice

A system that has never cooled particularly well, runs almost continuously, and is expensive to run despite the unit being correctly sized on paper.

Why it happens

The outdoor unit recirculating its own hot exhaust because it lacks clearance, typically installed in a narrow side passage, under a low deck, or facing a wall too closely.

How we fix it

We measure operating pressures to confirm the unit is running against elevated head pressure, then quote to relocate or re-orientate it. This is an installation defect, and no amount of servicing compensates for it.

Still not working?

If the checks above haven't restored your outdoor condenser unit, this usually needs a technician. Our Aircon Installation service covers exactly this fault — from R2 000, quoted upfront.
