Aircon, Cold Room & Appliance Services — Johannesburg & Gauteng
Twelve specialist services across three divisions, one phone number. Certified technicians, genuine OEM parts and a 1 to 6 month warranty on every job across Johannesburg and 200+ Gauteng suburbs.
Emergency Aircon Repair — Johannesburg & Gauteng
Round-the-clock aircon repair for split, multi-split, ducted, cassette, inverter and VRF systems. Technicians diagnose with professional instruments rather than guesswork, and carry genuine OEM parts so most faults are fixed on the first visit.
- Not cooling — leak detection & regas (R22, R410A, R32)
- Compressor, PCB and inverter board faults
- Tripping the DB board — electrical diagnosis
- All brands: Daikin, Mitsubishi, Samsung, LG, Carrier
Aircon Installation Johannesburg — Homes & Businesses
Every installation starts with a free on-site BTU assessment, because an undersized unit runs flat out and fails early. Electrical connection, commissioning and a compliance certificate are included in the quoted price — not billed afterwards.
- Split, multi-split, cassette, ducted and VRF systems
- Free BTU sizing assessment before the quote
- Compliance certificate included at no extra charge
- Body corporate and estate approvals handled
Aircon Maintenance & Service Contracts — Johannesburg
Dirty coils and slow refrigerant loss are what kill compressors on the Highveld, and both are invisible until the unit fails. A full service covers every component and ends with a written condition report on what was found.
- Filter, evaporator coil, condenser coil and drain service
- Refrigerant pressure check and top-up where needed
- Electrical safety and capacitor inspection
- Annual, bi-annual and quarterly contracts available
Commercial HVAC — Offices, Retail & Restaurants
A failed commercial system costs far more than the repair, in lost trading and walk-out customers. We design to heat load, work around your trading hours, and hand over full compliance documentation on completion.
- VRF design, installation, repair and servicing
- Rooftop, package unit and central plant work
- Priority emergency response for contract clients
- Compliance documentation and account management
Cold Room Services — Johannesburg
When a cold room fails, the clock runs against your stock. We cover restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and warehouses end to end — installation, emergency repair and the planned maintenance that stops the emergency happening.
- Walk-in cold rooms and freezers, all sizes
- 24/7 emergency response — all brands
- Temperature monitoring and control repair
- Maintenance contracts with priority call-out
Cold Room & Freezer Installation
Custom walk-in cold rooms and freezers built to your floor plan, product and duty cycle. We size the refrigeration to the real heat load — doors opening all day in a busy kitchen is a very different job from a sealed pharmaceutical store.
- Custom panel builds to your floor plan
- Correct refrigeration sizing for real duty cycles
- Chiller, freezer and dual-temperature rooms
- Installation from R49,999, quoted per build
Emergency Cold Room Repair
A cold room that stops cooling is a deadline, not a job. We prioritise refrigeration breakdowns where stock is at risk, carry common compressor, fan and control spares, and arrange temporary cooling when a part has to be ordered in.
- Compressor, condenser and evaporator faults
- Refrigerant leak detection and recharge
- Thermostat, controller and defrost faults
- Temporary cooling arranged where parts are ordered
Appliance Repair Johannesburg — All Major Brands
Fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, stoves and ovens, repaired in your home rather than carted off to a workshop. Load-shedding and surge damage is our most common call-out.
- In-home repair — no workshop drop-off needed
- Load-shedding and power surge damage specialists
- Surge protection fitted to prevent repeat damage
- Samsung, LG, Bosch, Defy, Whirlpool, AEG, Miele, SMEG
Fridge & Freezer Repairs — Johannesburg
A fridge that stops cooling costs you the contents before it costs you the repair, so we treat it as urgent. Most faults are a failed compressor relay, a gas leak, a blocked defrost drain or a thermostat — all repairable the same day.
- Not cooling, over-freezing or running constantly
- Compressor, relay and thermostat replacement
- Gas leak detection and refrigerant recharge
- Water leaks, ice build-up and blocked defrost drains
Washing Machine & Tumble Dryer Repairs — Johannesburg
Front loaders, top loaders and tumble dryers, repaired in your laundry. Drum bearings, pumps, door locks and control boards are the four faults we see most, and all four are far cheaper to fix than to replace the machine.
- Not spinning, not draining or not filling
- Drum bearing noise and shock absorber wear
- Door lock, pump and inlet valve replacement
- PCB, programme selector and sensor faults
Dishwasher Repairs — Johannesburg
Dishwashers usually fail quietly — dishes come out gritty, water sits in the base, or the door seal weeps onto the kitchen floor. We diagnose the drain, spray arm, heating and control circuits rather than guessing at parts.
- Not draining, not filling or not cleaning properly
- Drain pump, filter and spray arm blockages
- Door seal, latch and hinge replacement
- Heating element and control board faults
Stove & Oven Repairs — Johannesburg
Gas hobs, electric hobs, built-in ovens and free-standing stoves. Oven work is one area where a bad repair is genuinely dangerous, so element, thermostat and gas work is done by technicians qualified for it.
- Element not heating, oven not reaching temperature
- Thermostat, selector switch and timer faults
- Gas igniter, burner and valve repair
- Fan oven motor and door seal replacement
