Aircon units in La Lucia show up with aircon remote not working more often than most owners expect. Ridge properties exposed to sea breeze and heavy summer humidity. 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 remote not working call in La Lucia we check flat batteries or corroded contacts, failed ir receiver on the indoor unit, unit locked in a service mode 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 La Lucia 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.
