Air-conditioner repair in Essaouira

Most common causes in order: clogged filter (10-minute fix), gas undercharge from a leak (search and repair), iced-over evaporator (often caused by the filter or gas), weak compressor (costly replacement). A real diagnosis can't be done remotely — pressures and temperatures must be measured.

3 main causes: blocked drain (algae or insects) — 80% of cases, wrong slope from install (original fitting fault), or an evaporator that iced up and is now melting (gas undercharge). A drain unblock resolves the fault on the first visit in most cases.

Codes vary by manufacturer. Broadly: E1 = indoor/outdoor comm error, E5 = failed temperature sensor, F3 = low pressure (gas undercharge). Photograph the display and send brand + code on WhatsApp — we'll indicate the likely cause.

A compressor isn't repaired, it's replaced. Cost between 2000 and 8000 MAD depending on size and brand, plus vacuum, drier change and refrigerant recharge. On a unit older than 8 years we sometimes recommend replacing the whole AC — we work the numbers through with you.

Simple faults (drain, filters, capacitor): 30-90 minutes, single visit. Gas leak or compressor replacement: a full day, sometimes two visits (diagnosis then repair once the part arrives). Rare electronic boards: up to a week for parts.

Yes — 2-year warranty on new parts and labour. If the same fault comes back within that period, we return free of charge. This warranty doesn't cover new faults on other components.

Yes — emergencies covered 7 days a week. Reach us directly on WhatsApp with clear photos and you jump ahead of regular bookings. Please don't open the unit yourself; send us the model and any error code.

3 simple rules: clean the filters monthly, book technical maintenance twice a year (especially before summer), and avoid very low setpoints run continuously (18 °C and below). See the AC maintenance page — an annual contract cuts breakdowns by around 70%.
