How it works

Four steps, no surprises

Customer sending a photo of a split AC unit on WhatsApp1

Send us a photo

WhatsApp us a picture of the problem and your area. Most jobs can be priced from a photo and a sentence.

Apni Chhat writing out the estimate before any work starts2

We send you an estimate

A price range in writing, before anyone travels. Asking costs nothing.

Apni Chhat technician arriving with manifold gauges to test an AC3

You agree, then our man comes and checks

He reviews the job on site, confirms the final price with you, and only starts once you say yes.

Cooling being checked at the vent before the technician leaves4

Job finished, then you pay

We walk it with you when it is done. No advance on standard repairs.

Unit tripping the breaker?

Switch it off at the isolator and leave it off. Resetting the breaker again and again on a shorted compressor is how a repair turns into a replacement.

  • Switch off at the isolator
  • Do not keep resetting the breaker
  • Send a photo of the indoor and outdoor unit
Why us

Four things we do differently

Pressure measured before we mention gas

Most weak-cooling calls are a dirty coil, not a refill.

Drainage checked, not just the cooling

The dripping is a drain fault nine times out of ten.

Gas charged by weight, priced per ton

You see the cylinder and the gauge reading.

Cooling tested at the vent

With a 30-day workmanship warranty.

FAQs

AC questions, answered

How often should an AC be serviced in Islamabad?

Twice a year is ideal — once before summer and once at the end of it. The dust load in the twin cities is high enough that servicing only once a year usually shows up as weak cooling by the second summer.

My AC is not cooling. Does it definitely need gas?

Usually not. A sealed refrigerant system does not consume gas — if the pressure is genuinely low there is a leak, and refilling without finding it just repeats the problem in a few weeks. We measure the pressure and check the coil first, and a good share of weak-cooling calls turn out to be nothing more than a blocked coil.

Do you work on inverter units?

Yes — servicing, gas charging and PCB diagnosis. Inverter boards are expensive, so we confirm the fault at the component before anyone recommends a replacement board.

Is there a warranty on gas charging?

The refrigerant itself is a consumable and is not warranted, but the workmanship — the leak repair, the flare joints and the vacuum — carries the standard 30-day warranty.

How long does a service take, and will it make a mess?

About an hour to ninety minutes for a split unit. The indoor unit is bagged before washing, so the water and dirt run into the bag rather than down your wall.

Can you fit an AC where there is no drain outside?

Yes, but the drain has to run somewhere with a fall on it. We will show you the route before drilling — a hose run uphill is the single most common cause of water dripping inside.
