Aircon Servicing & Repair in Cagayan de Oro

A standard clean-and-check takes 30-45 minutes per indoor unit. A chemical wash takes about an hour per unit, and a full chemical overhaul (where the unit is dismantled) takes 1.5-2 hours per unit. Multi-unit visits are faster per unit.

A unit that trips the breaker at startup usually has a failing compressor, a shorted capacitor, or a wiring fault — all electrical faults that need a technician. Do not keep resetting the breaker; repeated tripping can damage the compressor beyond repair.

If you run multiple units daily, yes — contracts usually price each visit 15-30% below one-off rates, include priority booking during heatwaves, and some include minor parts. For a single, lightly used unit, paying per visit is usually cheaper.

A chemical wash uses a cleaning solution to strip dirt and mould from the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and drain pan without dismantling the whole unit. Book one when a normal service no longer fixes weak airflow, bad smells, or water leaking from the indoor unit — typically every 12-18 months for heavily used units.

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 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.

Basic cleaning of a window-type unit runs ₱500-₱900; a split-type indoor unit ₱800-₱1,500 in place, or ₱1,500-₱3,000 for a pull-down/deep clean. Freon top-up, when genuinely needed after a leak repair, adds ₱1,500-₱3,500 depending on refrigerant.

Every 3-4 months for daily-use units — dust, humidity, and near-constant operation clog filters and coils fast. At minimum, wash the filters yourself monthly and book a professional clean before the March-May hot season when providers get booked out.
