Why is my aircon not cooling properly?

Answer:
If your aircon is blowing warm air or not cooling evenly, it may be caused by low refrigerant, dirty filters, or a faulty compressor. At Tec Center, our technicians run a full diagnostic, recharge refrigerant, clean or replace filters, and repair compressors to restore your system’s cooling performance.

What does it mean if my aircon makes strange noises?
Answer:
Noises like banging, rattling, or hissing usually indicate loose parts, a failing fan motor, or refrigerant leaks. Tec Center specialists inspect the unit, tighten or replace worn parts, and repair leaks to ensure your aircon runs quietly and efficiently.

Why does my aircon smell bad?

Answer:
Unpleasant odors can be caused by mold, mildew, or burnt wiring inside the unit. At Tec Center, we deep clean air conditioning systems, treat mold growth, replace damaged parts, and service filters to keep your indoor air fresh and healthy.
