We investigate compressor faults before recommending major parts or replacements.
We check the electrical supply, starting components, controls, pressures and the condition of the wider circuit. We distinguish a failed compressor from faults elsewhere that can cause similar symptoms.

We start by understanding the symptoms and how the equipment is used. We check the relevant components, explain what needs attention and discuss the repair before proceeding. If installation or replacement is the more sensible option, we explain why.
We aim to leave you with an operating system you understand and a clear view of any maintenance that may help avoid repeat faults.

Tell us about your equipment and the problem you're experiencing.
We assess the equipment, the fault and the operational requirements together. The following guidance explains how we approach service decisions and what customers can prepare before requesting assistance.
For Gauteng customers operating commercial sites with varied refrigeration duty and access constraints, motor overload can be as important as the fault first noticed on the temperature display. We distinguish the operating conditions from component failure before recommending a practical next step. In particular, return gas temperature may change the interpretation of a complaint that initially sounds straightforward.
Consider how condensing pressure affects the same system: it may alter cooling performance without producing an obvious single-component fault. This is why we ask for the equipment type, the timing of the problem and the site conditions. We do not treat every warm cabinet, frozen evaporator or alarm as proof that refrigerant is low.
For Gauteng customers operating commercial sites with varied refrigeration duty and access constraints, start components can be as important as the fault first noticed on the temperature display. We distinguish the operating conditions from component failure before recommending a practical next step. In particular, lubrication may change the interpretation of a complaint that initially sounds straightforward.
Where start components and lubrication are both possible, the correct investigation depends on the system configuration and the observations available on site. We avoid recommending unnecessary gas charging, component replacement or electrical adjustment without supporting evidence. Any suspected refrigerant loss requires leak investigation and the correct legal and technical handling.

We work with refrigeration and cooling equipment for homes and businesses. If you are dealing with cooling failures, control faults, abnormal temperatures or recurring breakdowns, contact our team and explain what is happening. We'll discuss a practical way forward based on the equipment, the site and the fault.
We begin with what the equipment is doing now: temperature readings, start and stop behaviour, alarms, airflow and any recent changes. We examine the components linked to those symptoms so the proposed repair addresses the cause.
We discuss the findings and the work required, including whether servicing, part replacement or a wider repair is appropriate. When components need sourcing or the equipment needs further testing, we explain those steps before moving ahead.
Following agreed work, we check the relevant operation and controls. Cooling recovery can take time, particularly when stock, doors and room conditions affect the load, so we explain what to monitor after our visit.
Send your area, equipment type, brand or model if available, current symptoms and preferred contact details.
Yes. Describe the equipment, site and work required so we can assess the scope and discuss next steps.
Tell us your equipment, the problem and your location. We'll help you arrange the next step.
