LG aircons in Gqeberha
LG dual inverter aircons are installed in homes, apartments and offices throughout Gqeberha and Kariega. They are efficient and reliable, but the city's wind, salt and power interruptions mean they benefit from more regular care than units in sheltered inland cities.
A typical LG diagnosis
When an LG aircon is not working properly, we check:
1. Filters and coils: dust and salt reduce airflow and heat transfer. 2. Refrigerant: pressures and temperatures, and a search for leaks. 3. Electrical: capacitors, contactors, connections and the outdoor fan. 4. Communication: wiring and boards linking the indoor and outdoor units. 5. Sensors and boards: readings and signs of surge damage. 6. Drain: flow and fall.
This avoids guesswork and means you only pay for the repair you need.
Salt and the beachfront
In Summerstrand, Humewood, South End and Bluewater Bay, salt reaches outdoor units quickly. Corrosion attacks the coil fins, the copper joints and the brackets. Caught early, coils can be cleaned and treated. Left too long, they leak gas and may need replacing. We recommend a service every six months near the beach, plus a gentle freshwater rinse of the outdoor coil in between.
Power surges
After years of load shedding, many aircon boards in Nelson Mandela Bay have been damaged by surges. If your LG aircon shows a communication or board error after a power cut, switch it off at the isolator for a few minutes and try again. If it persists, we test and repair the board or affected component. Surge protection at the distribution board is a good investment.
Hot days in Kariega
Inland Kariega is hotter than Gqeberha's coast. LG units there run long hours under heavy load, and capacitors and fan motors fail more often. A service before summer catches weak components early.
Offices and businesses
We service LG aircons for offices, practices and shops in Newton Park, the CBD, Greenacres and Kariega, with six-monthly schedules and work outside business hours where needed.
Repairs we do
- Gas leak detection, repair and regassing
- Capacitor, contactor and fan motor replacement
- Communication and board faults
- Sensor replacement
- Drain clearing
- Coil cleaning and corrosion treatment
- Bracket replacement
Repair or replace?
Most faults are worth repairing. On an older unit with a badly corroded coil or failed compressor, a new inverter aircon may be better value. If we install it, you get a 2-year warranty and free six-monthly services for those two years.

Frequently asked questions
My LG aircon shows an error after a power cut. Can it be fixed?
Usually. A board, sensor or communication fault is the common cause. We test and repair it.
How often should an LG aircon in Summerstrand be serviced?
Every six months, because salt and wind affect outdoor units quickly.
Do you service LG aircons for businesses?
Yes, with regular schedules and after-hours work where needed.
Do your repairs carry a warranty?
Yes. Every repair carries a 6-month warranty on parts we fit and our workmanship. We have more than 15+ years of experience and quote before any work starts.
Do you charge a callout fee?
Our callout fee is R400. It covers the visit and the diagnosis, and it is waived if you go ahead with the repair or installation, so you only pay it if you decide not to proceed.
Are you an authorised LG agent?
No. A1 Refrigeration is an independent repair company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or authorised by LG. We repair LG aircons that are out of the manufacturer's warranty, using genuine or quality-matched parts, and every repair carries our own 6-month warranty. If your LG appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, contact LG or your retailer first.
