Common questions about repairs in Cairns.
Do you repair air conditioners you didn't install?
Yes. We repair and service most brands across Cairns and FNQ, not just the systems we've installed. If your air conditioner has stopped working, is leaking, noisy or showing an error, we can diagnose and fix it.
What are common air conditioning faults in Cairns?
Common faults we see in Cairns include systems not cooling, water leaks, ice on the coils, strange noises, error codes, musty smells and units that won't turn on. Many are caused by our humid, salty climate and a lack of regular servicing, and most can be repaired quickly once diagnosed.
How quickly can you repair my air conditioner?
We respond quickly to air conditioning breakdowns across Cairns and FNQ, especially through the hotter months. Call us on 0448 392 019 and we'll get you booked in and keep you informed on timing.
Are you licensed and insured to repair air conditioning?
Yes. Airtek holds QBCC Licence 15429693 and ARC Licence AU61884, and we carry full public liability insurance. All repairs are carried out by qualified, licensed refrigeration mechanics to current Australian standards.
Will a new air conditioner lower my power bill in Cairns?
Usually yes, especially if your unit is more than about 10 years old. A modern inverter air conditioner can use roughly 30% less electricity than an older fixed-speed unit for the same cooling, and each extra energy star is worth around 15 to 25% less power again. With Cairns power now around 34 cents per kWh, that adds up — see our old vs new guide.

Check your warranty first
If your system was installed in the last few years it may still be under manufacturer warranty — often around 5 years, and up to 7 on Toshiba. Dig out your purchase or install date and we'll help you work out whether the repair's covered before you pay for a callout.
