Common Aircon Faults & Sizing Guide — East Rand
Spotting symptoms early prevents expensive damage. Here are the faults we repair most often on the East Rand, plus a BTU sizing reference for when replacement is the better option.
🔍 Common Aircon Faults on the East Rand — What They Mean
Gauteng's hot summers, afternoon thunderstorms and unstable power supply create predictable failure patterns. These are the faults our technicians fix most often on the East Rand.
Aircon Not Cooling / Blowing Warm Air
Usually a refrigerant leak, low gas, dirty coil or compressor fault. Switch off and call — running it can cause more damage.
Water Leaking from the Indoor Unit
A blocked drain line, failed drain pump or a frozen coil thawing. Turn the unit off to protect ceilings and walls.
Aircon Tripping the DB Board
Usually a failed capacitor, contactor, compressor or wiring fault — often triggered by voltage spikes after outages.
Ice Forming on Pipes or Coil
Low refrigerant, a dirty filter or restricted airflow. Switch to fan-only mode and book a refrigerant check.
Rattling, Grinding or Buzzing Noises
Loose parts, failing fan motor bearings or compressor trouble. Noises get worse — early repair is always cheaper.
Weak or Reduced Airflow
Blocked filter, dirty evaporator coil or a failing fan motor. A service before summer prevents most cases.
📐 Aircon Size Guide — East Rand Homes & Offices
If your system is beyond economical repair, use this guide to choose the right replacement. Rule of thumb: if repair costs more than 50% of a new unit, replacement is the better investment.
| Room Size | BTU Required | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 12 to 18 m² | 9,000 BTU | Guest room, study, small bedroom |
| 19 to 25 m² | 12,000 BTU | Standard bedroom, lounge, office |
| 26 to 35 m² | 18,000 BTU | Large lounge, open-plan area |
| 36 to 50 m² | 24,000 BTU | Large living or entertainment area |
| 51 to 70 m² | 30,000 BTU | Very large open-plan living area |
| 71 m²+ | 36,000+ BTU | Commercial — expert assessment required |
