Evaporator Repairs in Sunninghill

We serve Sunninghill and the wider Northern corridor of Johannesburg, with an average emergency arrival time of approximately 32 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.
