Common Aircon Repair Issues

We diagnose and fix these frequent problems across HDB, condo and office units in Singapore.

Aircon Not Cold Enough

Low refrigerant gas, dirty evaporator coil, faulty compressor, or thermostat malfunction. We test pressure, check components, and identify the exact cause before repair.

Water Leaking from Indoor Unit

Blocked drain pipe, loose connection, or failed drain pan. We locate the leak, clear blockages, and test drainage before closure to prevent future leaks.

Noisy Fan or Compressor

Loose fan blade, vibration from worn bearings, faulty compressor, or internal debris. Noise diagnosis requires listening and pressure testing to identify the source.

Power Tripping or Not Starting

Electrical fault, overload relay malfunction, or damaged compressor winding. We check the circuit, test the capacitor, and verify safe electrical operation.

Bad Smell or Musty Odor

Dirty filter, mold in the evaporator coil, or blocked drain. Chemical wash and drain cleaning typically resolve odor issues and improve air quality.

Intermittent Cooling or Frequent Stop-Start

Refrigerant leak, stuck valve, or thermostat sensor fault. We pressure test, check valves, and verify sensor function to restore stable cooling.

Why Choose FixMove for Aircon Repair

Practical reasons why homeowners and businesses trust FixMove for reliable aircon repair in Singapore.

Diagnosis Before Repair Commitment

We never pressure you into expensive repairs. Diagnosis identifies the exact issue with pressure testing and electrical checks. You get a clear quote and can decide whether to proceed.

Honest Assessment and Recommendation

If repair cost is high and the unit is old (10+ years), we advise if replacement is more practical long-term. Your financial interest comes first.

Quality Parts and Genuine Warranty

We source original parts from reputable suppliers. All replacements come with manufacturer warranty plus our 3-month labor warranty for peace of mind.

Same-Day or Next-Day Service

Most areas have same-day or next-day availability for repair requests. We understand aircon failure is urgent during hot weather in Singapore.

All Major Brands Supported

We service Daikin, Midea, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Hitachi, Fujitsu and other common models. For non-standard units, we confirm compatibility first.

No Hidden Charges

The quote is the price. No surprise fees at the end. Parts, labor and testing are clearly itemized in the quotation before work starts.

When to Repair vs Replace Your Aircon

Decision guide based on unit age, repair cost and efficiency. We help you make the right choice for your situation.

Repair Usually Makes Sense

If your unit is under 8 years old and the repair cost is under S$300, repair is almost always the right choice. Single component failures are common and fixable at reasonable cost.

Replacement Worth Considering

If the unit is 10+ years old, repair costs exceed S$500, or it has failed multiple times in the past year, replacement might be more cost-effective. New units are more efficient and consume less electricity.

Compressor Failure Decision Point

Compressor replacement (S$400–S$800+) is a major expense. For units over 12 years old, replacement is often better value. For newer units, compressor repair is justified to extend unit lifespan.

Upgrade for Better Cooling and Efficiency

If frequent repairs are frustrating and electricity bills are high, upgrading to a newer model with better efficiency (higher SEER rating) can save S$30–S$50/month on power bills.

Aircon Repair FAQ

What is the difference between aircon repair and servicing?
Servicing is routine maintenance to keep the unit running smoothly (filter cleaning, condenser wash, refrigerant check). Repair fixes a broken or malfunctioning aircon (not cooling, leaking, noisy compressor, power tripping). FixMove offers both services separately based on your unit's needs.
Why is my aircon not cold?
Common causes include low refrigerant gas (leak or depletion), dirty filter or evaporator coil blocking airflow, compressor failure, blocked drain pipe affecting sensor function, or faulty thermostat. We diagnose the root cause with pressure testing before proposing the repair solution.
What does an aircon diagnosis cost?
Diagnosis visit costs S$40 and includes pressure testing, electrical checks and visual inspection of key components. If you proceed with repair, the diagnosis fee is typically deducted from the final repair cost, making the net repair cost lower.
Why is my aircon leaking water?
Water leakage usually means a blocked drain pipe (common in humid Singapore climates), loose pipe joints, or a faulty drain pan. We locate the leak point, clear the blockage using suction or flush method, and test the drainage before closure to prevent future leaks.
Can you repair all aircon brands in Singapore?
Yes. We service most common brands including Daikin, Midea, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Hitachi and Fujitsu. For non-standard or very old unit models, we confirm brand compatibility and parts availability before proceeding with repair.
What is your standard repair warranty?
Most repairs come with a 3-month parts and labor warranty. The exact terms depend on the component replaced and are confirmed in the quotation before work begins. Genuine parts carry the manufacturer warranty in addition to our labor warranty.
How long does an aircon repair usually take?
Simple repairs like topping up refrigerant or clearing a drain take 30-45 minutes. Component replacements like compressor or PCB board can take 1-2 hours depending on unit model, access and internal condition. We estimate the time after diagnosis.
Do you charge call-out or diagnostic fees separately?
Diagnosis visit costs S$40. This fee is deducted from the repair cost if you proceed with our repair service. If you choose not to repair with us, the diagnosis fee is charged separately.
Can a broken aircon be repaired or should it be replaced?
We assess the repair cost versus replacement cost based on unit age, condition and frequency of past failures. If the unit is old (10+ years) and requires expensive component replacement (like compressor), replacement may be more cost-effective long-term. We advise based on your situation without pressure.
Why is my aircon making noise?
Noise can originate from a faulty compressor (knocking or grinding), loose fan blade (squealing or rattling), refrigerant leak (hissing sound), or internal component vibration. We inspect, listen and identify the source, then advise the best repair option to restore quiet operation.
