Repair or Replace Your Aircon?
An aircon producing noise does not automatically mean that the system needs to be replaced. A professional inspection can determine whether the problem is caused by cleaning, a loose component, a fan or motor fault, or another repairable problem.
Aircon Safety
If your aircon is making unusual electrical sounds, producing a burning smell, tripping electrical protection or showing damaged wiring, switch it off and arrange for professional inspection. Do not attempt internal electrical repairs yourself.
