✅ Such breakdowns are not uncommon in equipment with a long service life. Gradual wear of components, refrigerant leaks, lack of regular maintenance, or previous minor malfunctions left unaddressed can lead to such serious consequences.
✅ Our specialists do more than just a surface check — we perform a full technical diagnosis, identifying not only the obvious cause but also any related issues. This allows us to get a complete picture of the system’s condition and make an informed decision.
✅ In some cases, repair may not be economically feasible:
- Replacing expensive components (such as the compressor and condenser coil) may cost almost as much as a new unit.
- The remaining components may be close to the end of their service life.
- The risk of repeated breakdowns after partial repairs is quite high.
Our Recommendation
In this situation, we recommend replacing the entire unit so the client gets a reliable and energy-efficient system for many years to come.
