The evaporator is where cooling actually happens. A failed evaporator fan, a split coil or a faulty defrost heater all produce the same symptom — poor cooling — but need very different repairs. We serve Rivonia and the wider Northern corridor of Johannesburg, with an average emergency arrival time of approximately 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Only part of my evaporator is frosting — why?
Partial frost usually indicates a refrigerant distribution or charge problem, or a restricted expansion device.
Can a leaking evaporator coil be repaired?
Small leaks can be repaired; severely corroded coils are replaced. We advise based on condition.
My evaporator fan stopped — is that urgent?
Yes. Without airflow the coil ices rapidly and cooling stops — call immediately.
