Looking for an Aircon technician near you?

Is your aircon blowing warm air, leaking, or refusing to turn on? In the Thai heat a broken aircon is not something that can wait, and a room heats up fast once it stops working. Aircon repair on gigit covers diagnosing and fixing what has gone wrong, from a unit that will not cool to one that is noisy, leaking, or cutting out. You post the task with what the unit is doing, and gigit heroes near you send offers, so you can get someone on it quickly instead of waiting on a single call-out.

The specific aircon jobs you can book:

Refrigerant / gas refill

Topping up the refrigerant, the gas that lets the unit cool the air. This is the job to book when the air has slowly stopped getting cold rather than failing all at once, or when the unit blows air that is no longer properly cold. It involves checking the refrigerant level, finding and sealing any leak first, then recharging the system to the right pressure, since a refill alone will not hold if there is a leak feeding it.

Compressor replacement

Replacing the compressor, the part that pumps the refrigerant and drives the cooling. You would book this when the unit runs but never gets cold, trips repeatedly, or has been diagnosed with a failed compressor. It involves removing the old compressor, fitting a matched replacement, recharging the refrigerant, and testing the cooling cycle; it is the larger aircon repair, so it is worth comparing a few offers before you decide.

Common aircon problems gigit heroes fix

If you are not sure which job you need, just describe the problem. The most common ones:

• Not cooling: the unit runs but the air is not cold, or it only blows air. Causes range from low refrigerant to a dirty unit, a faulty fan, thermostat, or compressor. If the air is just weak or smells musty, the fix may be an aircon cleaning rather than a repair.

• Water dripping: water leaking from the indoor unit, usually a blocked drain line or dirty coils.

• Noisy: rattling, buzzing, or grinding, usually from the fan, the compressor, or a loose part.

• Cuts out by itself: the unit turns off on its own, often a sensor, a capacitor, or an electrical fault.

Compare offers, then choose

Aircon repair prices vary with the fault and the parts involved, so it helps to see a few. Describe what the unit is doing when you post the task, and you will get offers from more than one gigit hero, each with a price, so you can compare and choose the one that suits you.
