Fault diagnosis
Common Carrier aircon faults we investigate

- Compressor, contactor or motor failure
- Condenser fouling and high head pressure
- Refrigerant leak and low charge
- Control, sensor or safety-interlock fault
How diagnosis is handled
Carrier commercial systems require assessment of both the refrigeration equipment and the connected building system. We check heat exchangers, airflow or water flow, controls, safeties, electrical load and operating pressures before setting a repair scope.
For chillers and rooftop package units, Topworks can provide inspection findings, recommended corrective work and a planned-maintenance proposal. Major compressor or control repairs are quoted after model and site verification.

How much does a Carrier aircon service cost?
A standard wall-split major service is normally estimated at R750–R1,200. Cassette, ducted, VRF and chiller systems cost more because access, size and testing requirements differ.
Can you repair a Carrier aircon that is not cooling?
Yes. The technician checks airflow, coils, fan operation, sensors, electrical controls, refrigerant pressure and signs of leakage before recommending gas or replacement parts.
Do you install new Carrier systems?
Installation can be quoted after confirming capacity, pipe route, drainage, electrical supply, outdoor-unit position and equipment availability.
Do you offer commercial maintenance for Carrier?
Yes. Planned maintenance can be arranged for offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, industrial and multi-unit sites after an equipment survey.
