Aircon blowing warm air?
Check the outdoor unit isn’t blocked by leaves or debris, and confirm the filter has been cleaned in the last few months. Persistent warm air is usually a refrigerant leak or failing compressor.
Learn how refrigerants work →Unit dripping or leaking water?
This is almost always a blocked condensate drain line rather than a refrigerant issue. Switch the unit off and place a towel underneath until a technician can clear the line.
More on how air conditioning removes moisture →Fridge not cooling properly?
Check the door seal for gaps and make sure vents inside aren’t blocked by food. A warm compressor area and constant running are signs the refrigerant charge may be low.
How vapor-compression refrigeration works →Planning routine maintenance?
Most manufacturers recommend a full service every six months for units in daily use, which protects efficiency and can prevent bigger, costlier failures.
Read more about HVAC systems →Choosing between R410A and R32?
Both are common refrigerants in modern split units. R32 has a lower environmental impact and is increasingly standard in newer installations.
Compare refrigerant types →Running a commercial cold room?
Log door-open times and internal temperature daily. A slow rise in temperature over several days usually points to a slow refrigerant leak rather than a sudden fault.

Common questions
How much does aircon regas cost in Sandton?
A standard R410A or R32 regas typically starts from around R650, depending on unit size and refrigerant required. We confirm the exact price after an onsite leak test.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency call-outs?
Yes — PrideAir responds to aircon breakdowns, fridge failures and cold room emergencies across Sandton around the clock.
Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?
Usually a slow refrigerant leak, a dirty outdoor coil, a blocked filter, or a failing compressor. A pressure and electrical test pinpoints the exact cause.
How often should a split unit be serviced?
Every six months for units in daily use, and at least annually for lightly used units, to protect efficiency and prevent water leaks.
Do you handle commercial cold rooms as well as home aircons?
Yes — domestic fridges and split units alongside commercial cold rooms, display fridges and ice machines for restaurants, offices and retail.
