Fault diagnosis
Common Daikin aircon faults we investigate
- Indoor unit powers on but does not cool
- VRV communication or address faults
- Outdoor unit trips on pressure or temperature
- Water leaking from the indoor unit
- Compressor, fan-motor or inverter-board faults
- Refrigerant leakage and poor system performance
How diagnosis is handled
Daikin systems can store useful fault information, but an error code alone does not prove which component has failed. We confirm supply voltage, communication wiring, thermistor readings, fan operation, pressure behaviour and refrigerant condition before replacing components.
VRV diagnosis and commissioning requires careful checking of piping, addressing, branch selection, controls and operating data. For larger systems, we recommend a site inspection and service report rather than a telephone estimate.

Customer questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair Daikin air conditioners?
Yes. Topworks provides inspection, fault finding, servicing and repair support for Daikin split, SkyAir and VRV systems. Parts availability and repair viability are confirmed using the model and serial information.
How much does a Daikin 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 Daikin 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 Daikin 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 Daikin?
Yes. Planned maintenance can be arranged for offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, industrial and multi-unit sites after an equipment survey.
