Aircon Servicing & Repair in Pafos

A common rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new unit, or the system is over 10-12 years old and needs a compressor or coil replacement, replace it. Newer inverter units are typically 30-50% more efficient, so heavy users recoup part of the cost through lower bills.

The most common cause is a clogged condensate drain line — dirt and algae block the pipe and water backs up into the room. Other causes are a dirty evaporator coil that ices over and then melts, a cracked drain pan, or an incorrectly sloped drain pipe. A drain flush during a standard service usually fixes it.

Once a year is the minimum for a system used seasonally; every 3-4 months if you run it daily in a hot climate. Regular servicing keeps coils and filters clean, which protects the compressor — the most expensive part to replace — and keeps energy use down.

Most charge a call-out or diagnostic fee that covers travel and the first inspection; many waive or credit it against the repair if you go ahead. Confirm the fee, whether it is credited, and any surcharge for evenings, weekends, or urgent same-day visits before the technician is dispatched.

Refrigerant does not get used up — if the level is low, there is a leak. A proper job is leak detection, repair, then regas, which costs several times a plain top-up but stops the problem recurring. Be wary of any technician who suggests routine annual top-ups.

A standard clean-and-check is €40-€80 per unit, with multi-unit discounts common (e.g. 3 units for €120-€180). Deep cleans run €80-€150 per unit. Prices are highest June-August; spring bookings are cheaper and faster.

Yes if you heat with them — most Cypriot homes use the same splits in reverse for winter heating, so a second light service in autumn (filters, coil check) keeps heating efficiency up and catches faults before the damp season.
