Aircon Servicing & Repair in Dundalk

Pricing depends on the service depth: a basic clean-and-check per unit is the cheapest, a chemical wash costs roughly double, and a full overhaul double again. Multi-unit discounts are standard. Get the per-unit rate and what is included in writing before booking — see the national price ranges on this page as a baseline.

Get 2-3 quotes and compare what each service actually includes — some cheap quotes cover only a filter rinse. Check for the refrigerant-handling certification required in your country, ask how long they have serviced your brand and type of system, and read recent reviews that mention follow-up visits, not just the first appointment.

Inverter units vary compressor speed instead of switching on and off, so they hold temperature more steadily and cost 20-40% less to run for long daily use. Non-inverter units are cheaper upfront and fine for rooms cooled a few hours a day. For daily whole-day use, the inverter premium usually pays back in 2-3 years.

You can safely wash or replace filters monthly, keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and debris, and wipe the indoor casing. Anything involving the refrigerant circuit, electrical components, or coil chemicals should be left to a certified technician — refrigerant handling is legally restricted in most countries.

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.

Yes — SEAI offers heat pump grants (typically €3,500-€6,500 depending on home type) provided a technical assessment is done and an SEAI-registered installer is used. Servicing an existing system is not grant-aided.

Expect €80-€180 per unit for an annual service, with call-out fees of €60-€100 outside urban areas. Air-to-water heat pump services run €120-€250. Book outside the small summer rush for better availability.
