Many factors can lead to your commercial AC unit breaking down and requiring emergency repair. Our expert HVAC engineers have decades of experience dealing with all types of emergency air-con repairs. They will diagnose the issue and have your AC unit back up and running in no time.

Some common reasons for air conditioning unit breakdown include:

• Dirty filters

• Dirty AC condenser coils

These are just some potential causes of AC failure. Our emergency HVAC engineers can help you identify the problem and provide a solution. Regular commercial air conditioning servicing and AHU maintenance can prevent many of these issues.

The Dangers of a Broken Air Conditioning Unit

If you spot any signs that your commercial AC unit is not working properly, seek professional advice at once. An AC unit breakdown can be more than just a hindrance; it can be a real health risk. Here are some risks associated with a broken air-con unit:

• Equipment damage: Leaking refrigerant, oil, or water from a failed AC unit can damage surrounding equipment, furniture, walls, etc., requiring remediation and repairs.
• Mould growth: Excess moisture from leaks can promote mould growth in walls and ceiling materials, affecting air quality.
• Compromised air quality: A faulty AC unit allows indoor air temperature, humidity, and contaminant levels to rise, creating an uncomfortable and potentially unhealthy environment.
• Higher energy bills: A broken AC unit cycles inefficiently, leading to increased electricity usage and energy bills.
• Business disruptions: An AC unit breakdown can lead to revenue and productivity losses until repairs are completed. Temporary closure may also be required.
• Liability issues: Failure to maintain safe occupant conditions due to AC issues could lead to liability or legal issues if sickness, injury, or other problems occur.

How to Know if You Need Emergency Repairs

Over time, air conditioning units can develop various problems. This is why we recommend regular servicing. Some common signs that you need to call out an engineer as quickly as possible include:

• A hissing sound suggests something is leaking from the air conditioning unit.
• Water dripping or pooling around the unit.
• The unit has stopped working altogether.
• The air conditioning unit is making strange noises.
• There is a burning smell coming from the air conditioner.

These are just some common signs of an issue. If you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to contact us for emergency AC repairs. We’ll send an engineer out to you as soon as possible to assess the problem.
