Do you service and install air conditioners?

Yes. Fixakitchen helps with aircon servicing, split unit installations, inverter air conditioner repairs, ducted AC support, drainage faults, airflow checks and commissioning checks in Cape Town.

Do you work on R32 aircon systems?

Yes. R32 can be checked as part of an aircon service or installation assessment. The exact work depends on the unit, fault, access, pipe route, electrical supply and site safety requirements.

What should I send before booking an aircon call-out?

Send photos of the indoor unit, outdoor unit, data plate, controller or error code, the symptom, suburb, access details and whether you need a service, repair or installation quote.

This page is for air conditioning work: new split-unit installs, servicing, maintenance, R32 checks, ducted AC support and repair diagnostics. For cold rooms and commercial refrigeration, use the refrigeration page instead.

Split aircon installation

Correct placement, pipe route and commissioning matter.

A neat installation is more than hanging an indoor unit. We look at indoor position, outdoor condenser access, copper pipe route, drain fall, wall sleeve, trunking, isolator position, brackets and commissioning.

Ducted aircon and airflow

Airflow needs a proper route, not just a powerful unit.

Ducted systems can cool badly when the return air path, duct sizing, diffuser position, plenum layout or fan speed is wrong. We check the practical airflow route before guessing at the refrigeration side.

Ducted split support for offices, restaurants and commercial rooms
Uneven cooling, weak airflow, noisy ducts and poor return air
Plenum, diffuser, flexible duct and service access checks

Refrigerant testing tools, gauges, cylinder and service fittings for aircon diagnostics

R32 and refrigerant-side checks

R32 checks belong inside a complete aircon diagnosis.

The refrigerant circuit is checked after the basics are confirmed: clean filters, clear coils, correct airflow, working fans, stable power and no obvious drainage or installation fault.

Commercial spaces

Aircon service for restaurants, offices and retail sites.

In commercial spaces, comfort cooling has to work around heat load, extraction, doors, people, cooking equipment, ceiling voids and service access. We look at the system as it is actually used.

What we check

Tell us what the aircon is doing before it fails completely.

Most aircons give warning signs before they stop. Sending the symptom, controller display, indoor unit, outdoor unit and data plate helps us prepare the right tools and advice.

Weak cooling, warm air or slow pull-down
Water dripping from the indoor unit or blocked drain
Dirty filters, blocked coils or poor airflow
Noisy fan motor, vibration or rattling casing
Outdoor unit not starting or stopping too soon
Tripping power, isolator issues or burnt wiring smell
Error codes, sensor faults or controller problems
R32 leak suspicion or poor refrigerant performance

Before booking

Send photos of the indoor unit, outdoor unit and data plate.

Include the suburb, brand or model, error code if shown, whether the unit is leaking, weak, noisy, tripping or already down, and whether you need a service, repair, new installation or ducted aircon check.
