How it works

Three steps, no surprises

Customer sending a photo of a split AC unit on WhatsApp1

Send a photo

WhatsApp us the indoor and outdoor unit. Tell us the tonnage if you know it, and we can quote before we travel.

You get his name and an arrival window. Pressure is measured before anyone talks about gas.

Written AC service quote handed over before the work starts3

Quote, service, then test

Written price first. Cooling is checked at the vent before he leaves.

Unit tripping the breaker?

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

  • Switch off at the isolator
  • Do not keep resetting the breaker

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 kg

You see the cylinder and the reading.

Cooling tested at the vent

With a 30-day workmanship warranty.

FAQs

AC Repair & Service 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. Islamabad's dust load is high enough that annual-only servicing usually shows as reduced 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 pressure is genuinely low, there is a leak, and refilling without finding it just repeats the problem in a few weeks. We check airflow and coil condition first and only recommend gas when the pressure reading justifies it.

Do you work on inverter units?

Yes, including servicing, gas work and PCB diagnosis. Inverter PCBs are expensive, so we always confirm the fault before recommending a replacement board.

Is there a warranty on gas refilling?

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

You said gas. Does my AC actually need it?

Often not. A sealed system does not consume gas - if it is low, there is a leak, and refilling without finding the leak just buys you a few weeks. We measure the pressure first, and a good share of weak-cooling calls turn out to be a blocked coil.

How long does a service take, and do you 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, not down your wall.

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

Yes, but the drain has to go 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.
