Hisense aircons across the metro
Hisense inverter aircons have become a popular choice in Gqeberha for their value and efficiency. We service and repair them in beachfront flats, family homes in the western suburbs, offices in Newton Park and homes in Kariega and Despatch.
What goes wrong in Gqeberha
Slow gas leaks from salt
Near the beachfront, salt settles on the outdoor coil and corrodes the fins and copper joints. Leaks are often slow: the unit gradually cools less well over months. Topping up gas without repairing the leak only delays the problem. We find and repair the leak, then pressure test, vacuum and recharge.
Clogged coils
Gqeberha's wind drives dust, sand and leaves into the outdoor unit. A clogged coil makes the unit run hot and use more electricity. Annual coil cleaning keeps it efficient.
Surge damage
When power returns after an outage, boards and sensors can be damaged. Hisense units that will not start, show communication errors or behave strangely after a power cut may need a board or sensor repair.
Capacitors in the heat
Inland Kariega summers are hot. Capacitors age faster in heat and fail on the hottest days, leaving the outdoor unit humming but not running.
Drains
Blocked drains cause water to drip from the indoor unit, especially after long periods unused.
Simple care that helps
- Clean the indoor filters monthly during heavy use.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of plants, bins and stored items.
- Rinse the outdoor coil gently with fresh water near the beach.
- Switch the unit off during outages and wait a few minutes after power returns.
- Book a service once a year, or every six months near the sea.
Our repair process
1. Send us the symptoms, any error code and photos of the model stickers. 2. We visit, test and identify the fault. 3. You get a clear price before any work. 4. We repair and test cooling and heating. 5. Our 6-month warranty applies.
Repair or replace?
Most Hisense faults are worth repairing. If an older unit has a failed compressor or badly corroded coil, a new inverter unit may be better value. If we install it, you get a 2-year warranty and free six-monthly services for those two years.

We also service and repair Hisense aircons in Jeffreys Bay, Humansdorp and St Francis Bay, including pre-season checks for holiday homes.

Frequently asked questions
My Hisense aircon cools less every month. Why?
A slow gas leak, often from salt corrosion near the coast, or a clogged outdoor coil. Both need a technician.
My Hisense aircon hums outside but the fan does not spin. What is wrong?
Often a failed capacitor, especially in hot weather. It is an affordable repair.

Do you charge a callout fee?
