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?
A S$30 Priority Service option is available for urgent or customer-requested appointment times, subject to availability and confirmation; it is separate from the work quotation. The checks included, final fee and whether any amount is credited toward approved repair are confirmed before the visit and stated in the quote.
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.
Which aircon brands can you repair in Singapore?
We service many common brands, including Daikin, Midea, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Hitachi and Fujitsu. Brand and model compatibility and parts availability are confirmed before repair; non-standard or older units may require additional assessment.
What warranty applies to aircon repairs?
Workmanship and parts terms are stated in the written quotation and depend on the confirmed repair and components. Supplied parts follow the applicable supplier or manufacturer terms where relevant.
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?
A S$30 Priority Service option is available for urgent or customer-requested appointment times, subject to availability and confirmation; it is separate from the work quotation. Any call-out or diagnostic fee and whether an amount is credited toward approved repair are confirmed before the visit and stated in the quote.
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.
