Common Mistakes We See
These usually turn a small fix into a bigger one.
Servicing a unit that already has a fault
A routine service cleans filters — it doesn't diagnose leaks or failing components.
Start With Fault-Finding First
Identify the actual problem before deciding what work is needed.
Topping up gas without checking for leaks
Refrigerant doesn't deplete on its own — if levels are low, there's a leak somewhere.
Run a Leak Check Before Adding Gas
Find and fix the source so you're not topping up again in a few months.
Replacing the unit when only a part has failed
A compressor or fan motor can be swapped — full replacement isn't always needed.
Get the Failed Part Identified First
A targeted repair is usually a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Using the aircon less to 'save' a struggling unit
If it's short cycling, icing up, or cooling unevenly, running it less doesn't fix the fault.
Get the Underlying Issue Diagnosed
The problem won't resolve on its own — it just gets harder to trace the longer you wait.

Why We Started Snowflake
We spent years inside the aircon trade before starting Snowflake. What we learned had less to do with aircon and more to do with how the service around it fails.
