Air Conditioning Repairs
Commercial & Industrial Air Conditioning repairs are becoming more common each and every year which passes. As summer approaches in the UK, air conditioning is quickly shifting from a luxury to a necessity, with more businesses relying on cooling systems to stay comfortable.
At the same time, the cost of replacing air conditioning systems is climbing. Industry reports highlight that prices are set to increase further due to rising material costs such as copper and aluminium, alongside new energy efficiency regulations. In fact, manufacturers have reported cost increases of up to 16%, with further rises expected over the next 12 months. Add to this the cost of installation, often running into thousands of pounds, and it’s clear that full system replacement is becoming an expensive and time-consuming option for businesses.
Why choose to repair?
This is where PCB repair offers a smarter, more cost-effective solution. The PCB is the “brain” of your air conditioning system, controlling everything from temperature regulation to system efficiency. When it fails, many assume the only option is full replacement, but in many cases, repair is not only possible, but highly beneficial.
Choosing to repair means reduced downtime, lower costs, and a more sustainable approach, keeping perfectly serviceable systems out of landfill. As prices continue to rise and demand increases, repairing your air conditioning electronics is not just a practical choice, it’s a cost saving investment!
The Benefits of Repairing instead of Replacing
If you’re responsible for facilities or procurement, here’s why air conditioning repairs via PCB refurbishment should be on your radar:
- Huge Cost Savings – Repairs typically cost 30–70% less than replacement
- Faster Turnaround – Minimal disruption to your operations
- Sustainability – Reduce electronic waste and support environmental goals
- Extended Life – Get more from your existing infrastructure
- UK-Wide Support – Our team provides air con repairs in the UK, often we can collect, and with a fast turnaround if necessary.
- Often readily available replacement parts
How much could I save?
As we’ve stated, repairing is much more cost efficient than replacing. But by how much?
Depending on the size and capacity, a new unit can cost anywhere from £5,000 to £20,000, not including installation fees. Conversely, repairing or refurbishing an existing unit can cost a fraction of that amount, saving businesses thousands of pounds. To give a good example, the cost of a £5000.00 unit, with three circuit boards internally would be 16% of this. So, a huge saving of £4181.00 in repairing one, not replacing it. We have standard repair costs for each circuit board, depending on the faults and cost of parts.
The most common faults we repair
Air conditioning units, especially those installed outdoors, face unique challenges due to weather exposure and continuous operation. Some of the most common issues we encounter include:
- Compressor Failures: The heart of the system, the compressor, can overheat or fail due to high usage.
- Refrigerant Leaks: Essential for cooling, refrigerant can leak over time, diminishing the unit’s performance.
- Corroded Components: Outdoor exposure can lead to rust and corrosion of parts, reducing efficiency.
- Fan Motor Problems: Fans often fail due to worn bearings or electrical faults.
- Clogged Coils: Dirt and debris can build up on condenser coils, impairing heat exchange and reducing cooling capacity.
At Greasley Electronics, we have the expertise to address these and other issues promptly and effectively.
