Aircon Servicing & Repair in Muricay

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
