What Does Aircon Repair Cover?
Is your aircon blowing warm air, dripping on the floor or refusing to switch on? Something specific has gone wrong, and a good aircon repair visit finds that cause before anything is changed.
Our technician checks the indoor unit, the outdoor condenser unit and the wiring between them. Then you hear what failed and what it costs to fix. Repairs start from S$60, and nothing is done until you agree to the fixed quote.
Brian started Cool Earth Aircon in 2007 as a one-man workshop, and this Ang Mo Kio service grew out of that. It works the same way for a two-year-old inverter system in a condo near AMK Hub and for an older non-inverter unit in a Kebun Bahru flat. We work on all common brands, including Daikin and Panasonic.
How Is the Fault Found?
Diagnosis follows the symptom, so we don’t guess and swap parts. Here is what we check for each one:
- Unit will not start: the power supply, the capacitor and the contactor, tested with a multimeter
- Blinking timer light or error code: the code points to an area, and we confirm it with readings
- Wrong temperature or random shut-downs: a thermistor (temperature sensor) can report the wrong reading, and a failing PCB control board can cut the unit off
- Weak cooling: the coil, the airflow and the refrigerant pressure
- Compressor not running: its starting parts are tested before anyone assumes the compressor itself has failed
That last check matters. Cool Channels, a Singapore repair company, says compressor repairs can reach S$800 or more, so you want proof before anyone says the compressor is the problem.
Once the cause is clear, you hear it in plain words, with the price, before any work starts.

Faults We Fix
Common faults have their own pages with more detail:
- Aircon not cold: blowing warm air, cold then warm, ice on the pipes, one room not cold
- Aircon leaking water: dripping indoor unit, water stains, leaks after servicing
- Noisy aircon: rattling, buzzing, clicking or grinding
- Gas top-up: slow loss of cooling, hissing, oily marks at joints
Got a few wall-mounted units and only one is misbehaving? Tell us which room it’s in. Fault-finding is done unit by unit, so the good ones are left alone.
Common Problems We Solve
Unit will not turn on
A dead unit often comes down to a failed capacitor, a tripped circuit, a loose connection or a PCB fault. We test these one by one, so you only pay for the part that has actually failed.
Blinking light or error code
The unit has stopped itself to protect its parts. Resetting it again and again can make some faults worse, so send us a photo and leave it off until the technician checks it.
Want to read the code yourself first? According to Air Connection’s Singapore guide to Daikin error codes, you hold the Cancel button on the original remote for about five seconds, and the display shows the code. A universal remote won’t do it.
Outdoor unit not running
If the indoor fan blows but the condenser unit outside stays silent, the cause is usually electrical: a capacitor, a contactor or a fan motor. The room will not cool until it is fixed.
Unit keeps tripping
Repeated tripping points to an electrical fault in the unit or its wiring. Keep the unit off and let us check it before it is used again.
What Happens to the Price?
You get a fixed quote after the diagnosis and before any repair. If a part is needed, the part is in the quote, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay.
| What | Price |
|---|---|
| Repair | From S$60 |
| Servicing (if the fault is only dirt) | From S$50 |
| Chemical wash (if the fault is only dirt) | From S$80 |
| Callout fee | None |
| Workmanship warranty | 90 days |
Sometimes the fault turns out to be dirt rather than a broken part. We tell you straight, and you may be offered servicing or a chemical wash instead of a repair.
Payment is made after the job, once the unit has been tested. If the same fault comes back within 90 days, we return and fix it at no extra charge.
Repair or Replace?
Most faults are worth repairing. If a unit is not, our technician will say so honestly.
Replacement and installation enquiries go to Cool Earth Aircon at coolearth.com.sg. For routine care that prevents many of these faults, see general aircon servicing and the full price list.
