When your AC stops performing, the cause matters more than the symptom
In Zanzibar's climate an air conditioner that is not cooling is not a minor inconvenience — it affects sleep, guest satisfaction, staff productivity and, in restaurants and clinics, day-to-day operation. The temptation is to top up refrigerant and move on. That treats the symptom, not the cause.
AirFlex works the other way around. We measure, inspect and diagnose first: airflow, pressures, electrical readings, drain condition, coil and filter state, and the outdoor unit environment. Then we explain what is wrong, what it will take to fix it, and whether repair or replacement is the sensible commercial decision.
Salt air, dust and continuous running shorten component life on the island, so we also flag the issues that are likely to cause your next failure rather than waiting for the callout.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can an AC technician attend?
Attendance depends on the day's schedule and your location on the island. Contact us by phone or WhatsApp with your area and fault description and we will confirm the earliest available visit.
Why is my AC not cooling?
Common causes include blocked filters or coils, a refrigerant leak, a failed capacitor or fan motor, restricted outdoor unit airflow, control or thermostat faults, and compressor problems. Diagnosis on site identifies which applies.
Why is my AC leaking water?
Water usually indicates a blocked or incorrectly graded condensate drain, a dirty evaporator coil causing ice formation, or a poorly levelled indoor unit. All three are repairable.
Why is my AC making noise?
Rattling often points to loose panels or brackets, buzzing can indicate electrical components, and grinding or screeching may point to fan bearings or the compressor. Persistent noise should be inspected early.
Does AC repair include refrigerant services?
Yes, where technically appropriate. We inspect for leaks first — adding refrigerant to a leaking system is a temporary fix, so the leak is addressed before recharging.
