Refrigeration measurement on an air conditioning installation

Maintenance & Faults

I help with maintenance, checks and faults on air conditioning and electrical installations.

For air conditioning, I do not only check whether the unit still blows air or cools. I also measure the installation technically, so it becomes clear how the system is really performing.

For electrical faults, I work in the same way: first measure and understand what is happening, then repair in a targeted way.

Preventive Maintenance

For air conditioning, I can also offer a preventive maintenance contract. The installation is then not only checked when a fault has already appeared, but inspected and followed up periodically.

The benefits are mainly practical:

  • the installation stays cleaner, quieter and more hygienic
  • measurements and findings are recorded as a reference for later
  • early changes often become visible sooner
  • in case of a fault, I can assess the installation more quickly because its history is known
  • maintenance customers receive priority in my planning, without an absolute guarantee of immediate intervention
  • the maintenance price is clear in advance and travel time is included in it

Preventive maintenance does not remove every risk of a fault, but it helps to follow the condition of the installation more closely and limit unpleasant surprises.

Refrigeration Fault

For refrigeration maintenance, I have the necessary measuring equipment to properly check an air conditioning installation.

This allows me to look at, among other things:

  • pressures and temperatures in the refrigeration circuit
  • the temperature difference between return air and supply air
  • operation in both cooling and heating mode
  • electrical consumption during operation
  • the general efficiency and performance of the installation
  • signs of dirt, poor airflow or a technical problem
  • priority, a specific rate in case of a fault, etc.

Maintenance then becomes more than just cleaning. By measuring properly, I can often better assess whether an installation is working normally, losing efficiency or needs further investigation.

For air conditioning faults I bring specialist measuring and diagnostic equipment.

Electrical Faults

For electrical faults too, I measure systematically.

For example, I check:

  • voltage and polarity
  • earth and continuity
  • differential protection devices
  • circuit breakers and connections
  • suspicious cables, connections or switches

With existing installations, it is important to work carefully. Sometimes the cause is simple, but sometimes the problem is deeper in the installation. I explain clearly what I measure and what I think is the most logical next step.

Quick Response

Contact me in case of a fault or urgent problem.

If it fits into my planning, I can often come by the same day, usually directly after my working day, around 5 to 6 pm.

Rate

The rate for service and fault-finding work is:

€ 45,- per hour (HT) with a minimum of 1 hour.

The time charged covers the time needed on site and the full service, including preparation, diagnosis, execution of the work and administrative follow-up.

Travel time/travel costs are charged as working time and listed as a separate line on the invoice.

Any required materials are charged separately, where applicable.

When Maintenance Is Useful

Regular maintenance is especially useful when:

  • the air conditioner cools or heats less well
  • the unit makes more noise than before
  • the airflow seems weaker
  • odours appear
  • consumption seems higher than expected
  • the installation has not been checked for a long time

A well-maintained air conditioner runs more quietly, more hygienically and usually more efficiently. Small issues also often become visible before they turn into a real fault.

Practical Approach

During a service visit, I start with the complaint or question: what exactly do you notice, when does it happen and since when?

Then I check the installation step by step. For air conditioning, I combine visual inspection, cleaning where needed and measurements of the operation. For electrical faults, I first measure the basic values so it becomes clearer where the problem is likely to be.

If a repair is possible immediately, I carry it out. If parts are needed or further investigation is required, I discuss that clearly first.
