Aircon units in Durban North show up with aircon not cooling more often than most owners expect. Large family homes with multiple splits, many within a few kilometres of the shoreline. Reyds technicians work through the likely causes in order rather than guessing, so you pay for a repair instead of a replacement part that was never faulty.
On a aircon not cooling call in Durban North we check low refrigerant from a leak, blocked filters or a dirty indoor coil, failed capacitor or compressor before we quote anything. If the fault is a refrigerant leak we find and fix the leak first; topping up gas without repairing the cause is money thrown away.
Because Durban North sits in the salt belt, we treat outdoor coils and flare joints as consumables and inspect them on every visit. Call 084 690 1545, WhatsApp us a photo of the unit and its data plate, or send through a quote request and we will come back to you with a realistic scope and price.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my aircon not cooling in Durban North?
The usual causes are low refrigerant from a leak, blocked filters or a dirty indoor coil, failed capacitor or compressor, faulty thermistor reading the wrong room temperature. A technician needs to measure pressures, amp draw and the temperature split to confirm which one applies to your unit.
Can I keep running the unit until you arrive?
No. Switch the unit off at the isolator. Running a unit with this fault risks compressor or electrical damage that turns an affordable repair into a replacement.
