AC not cooling
Inspect cooling performance before deciding what work is required.

Air Conditioning Maintenance in Riyadh
AC not cooling, blowing warm air, leaking water, switching on and off, making unusual noise or giving weak airflow? We start with inspection, then determine the required maintenance or repair.
Symptom ≠ confirmed cause. A problem can have more than one possible cause; the confirmed diagnosis comes after inspection.
START WITH THE SYMPTOM
What is the AC doing?
Choose the symptom that best matches the problem. The final cause is determined after inspection.
Blowing warm air
Warm air is a symptom; it does not by itself confirm a refrigerant issue.
Water leakage
Inspect the unit condition and drainage-related factors before repair.
Turning on and off
Check operating behavior before identifying the required corrective action.
Unusual noise
Inspect the unit and operating condition before recommending repair.
Weak airflow
Inspect the AC and, where relevant, the air-distribution path and ductwork.
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE REPAIR
Possible causes are not a confirmed diagnosis.
The same symptom can come from different parts of the system. We inspect first, then define the maintenance, cleaning, repair or part replacement that is actually required.
Possible causeA technical possibility suggested by the symptom or operating condition.
Confirmed diagnosisThe cause identified after inspection of the actual AC system.
Refrigerant work is not assumed. An AC that is not cooling or is blowing warm air does not automatically mean refrigerant must be added.
MAINTENANCE SCOPE
Corrective and preventive AC maintenance.
The required scope depends on the AC type, condition and inspection result.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning is one part of maintenance when needed.
Cleaning requirements vary by system and condition. The work should focus on the parts that affect airflow, cooling, drainage or operation.
SYSTEM-SPECIFIC SERVICE
The inspection changes with the type of AC.
A split, cassette, ducted, packaged or VRF system does not have the same components or service access. The service scope follows the system itself.
SYSTEMS WE MAINTAIN
AC maintenance by system type.
If you are unsure which system you have, send a photo or check the Air Conditioning Systems page.
Split AC
Inspection, cleaning and repair based on the actual symptom and unit condition.
Concealed / Ducted AC
Inspection of the indoor and outdoor units, cooling performance, drainage and relevant airflow conditions.
Cassette AC
Inspection of cooling, airflow, drainage and operating faults in ceiling cassette units.
Floor Standing AC
Inspection of cooling, airflow, the outdoor unit and operating faults.
Central Ducted AC
Inspection of the AC system together with relevant duct and airflow performance.
Packaged AC
Inspection of the packaged unit, associated duct system and operating condition.
VRF
Diagnosis of system faults, error codes, indoor and outdoor units and controls according to the installed system.

QUICK ANSWERS
AC maintenance questions.
Why is my AC not cooling?
An AC can lose cooling for more than one reason. The cause should be confirmed by inspection before deciding whether cleaning, repair, refrigerant-related work or another action is required.
Does warm air mean the AC needs refrigerant?
Not necessarily. Warm air is a symptom, not a confirmed diagnosis. The system should be inspected before any refrigerant-related work is recommended.
Can you inspect an AC that is leaking water?
Yes. Water leakage is inspected together with the unit condition and drainage-related factors so the required action can be identified.
Is AC cleaning the same as maintenance?
No. Cleaning can be part of maintenance, but the required work depends on the AC type, condition and the result of inspection.
What should I send before requesting AC service?
Send the AC type, a short description of the problem, number of units, your Riyadh location, and a photo of the unit data plate or error code when available.
