Why Your Aircon Stops Cooling
An aircon that runs without cooling is almost always one of a short list of faults. Some cost little to fix, others point at a bigger decision.
Blocked filters
Dirty condenser coil
Low refrigerant
Failing compressor
Wrong mode or thermostat setting
Plenty of the 1950s austerity cottages here still carry units well past a decade old, so compressor wear shows up more than in the newer infill builds.
How it works
What You Can Check Before Calling
Three quick checks cost nothing and fix a fair share of calls. Work through them in order.
- 1
Step 1
Confirm the unit is actually in cool mode, not fan or heat.
- 2
Step 2
Pull the filter and hold it to the light. If you cannot see through it, wash it and let it dry.
- 3
Step 3
Look at the outdoor unit. Clear away leaves and give the coil a gentle hose on a cool part of the day.
If the unit ices over, switch it off and let it thaw. Running a frozen system risks the compressor.
Do not wait on this
When Cooling Needs a Technician
Call us when the checks come up empty or the fault keeps returning. Refrigerant work, electrical faults and compressor problems all need a licensed hand, and the law requires an ARC-licensed technician for any refrigerant handling.
We carry ARC Licence L162586, RAC01 - Full Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Licence, so the whole job stays legal and covered.

Questions
Air Conditioner Not Cooling FAQs
Why is my air conditioner running but the room stays hot?
The usual culprits are a blocked filter, a dirty condenser coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or a compressor that has lost capacity, and we test each in order on site.
Can I top up the refrigerant myself?
No, refrigerant handling is licensed work under ARC rules, and a system that needs topping up has a leak that has to be found and fixed first or the charge disappears again.
How quickly can you get to a cooling breakdown?
We hold 24/7 emergency availability and aim for a Within-the-Hour Response on urgent callouts where availability allows, which matters most on the first hot day of the season.
Is it worth repairing an older air conditioner?
We give you the repair figure and the replacement figure side by side, and as a rule a unit past a decade old with a major fault is usually better replaced.
