Office Air Conditioning Repair & Commercial HVAC Auckland

We understand that a failed office AC system affects productivity, staff comfort, and even client meetings. We prioritise commercial callouts and can typically attend within 2-4 hours for urgent repairs in Auckland. Our mobile service vehicles carry common commercial AC parts, allowing us to complete most repairs on the first visit. For urgent breakdowns affecting large office spaces, contact us immediately for same-day service.

Common causes include refrigerant leaks (often from vibration or corrosion in older systems), dirty or blocked filters reducing airflow (especially in dusty environments), faulty thermostats giving incorrect temperature readings, compressor failures from lack of maintenance, electrical issues with contactors or capacitors, and blocked condensate drains causing system shutdown. Regular servicing catches these issues early before they lead to complete system failure during peak business hours.

Yes, we specialise in VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) and VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems used in multi-storey offices, corporate buildings, and large commercial spaces. These systems are complex, with multiple indoor units connected to a central outdoor unit, allowing individual zone control. We diagnose control system faults, refrigerant circuit issues, communication errors between units, and compressor problems. Our technicians are experienced with Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, and other major commercial brands.

Repair costs depend on the fault, system type, and parts required. Simple repairs (thermostat replacement, filter cleaning, capacitor) typically range $150-$400. Moderate repairs (refrigerant recharge, fan motor replacement, drain clearing) cost $400-$900. Major repairs (compressor replacement, refrigerant leak repairs, control board) range $900-$3,000+. We provide transparent quotes before starting work, explain what's causing the issue, and advise whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective. Many commercial repairs are covered by maintenance contracts—contact us to discuss tailored servicing plans.

Consider replacement if: the system is over 12-15 years old (nearing end of expected lifespan), repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, it uses R22 refrigerant (now banned, making repairs expensive), energy bills have risen significantly despite servicing, or it requires frequent repairs (more than 2-3 callouts per year). Modern commercial AC systems are 30-50% more energy efficient, have smart controls for scheduling and zoning, run quieter, and come with 5-7 year warranties. We provide cost-benefit analysis comparing repair vs replacement, including energy savings projections to help you make an informed decision.

Yes, we provide tailored maintenance contracts for businesses across Auckland. Scheduled servicing (quarterly or bi-annually depending on usage) prevents breakdowns during business hours, improves energy efficiency (reducing power bills by 15-25%), extends equipment lifespan, maintains warranty validity, and ensures compliance with building regulations. Our contracts include priority callouts, discounted repair rates, detailed service reports, and scheduled visits during off-peak hours to avoid disrupting staff. Contact us for a customised maintenance plan based on your system size and business needs.

Yes, we schedule commercial installations during evenings, weekends, or planned shutdown periods to minimise disruption. For large office fit-outs, we coordinate with building managers, other trades, and your project timelines. Installation typically takes 1-3 days depending on system size—cassette units can be installed with minimal noise during business hours, while ducted systems require ceiling access and are best done outside trading hours. We provide detailed project timelines, site preparation requirements, and work efficiently to get your office operational quickly.

Open-plan offices (100m²+) suit cassette units (ceiling-mounted, 4-way airflow, ideal for central placement), ducted systems (hidden in ceiling, multiple vents for even temperature distribution), or VRV/VRF systems (multiple cassette units connected to one outdoor unit for flexible zoning). Cassettes are most popular—they're discreet, efficient, and provide good coverage. For offices with meeting rooms, server rooms, or areas requiring different temperatures, we recommend VRV/VRF for independent zone control. We assess your office layout, occupancy, heat loads (computers, printers, kitchen areas), and budget to recommend the most suitable system.
