What Happens During the $30 Aircon Check?

Every proper repair starts with a proper check. At Snowflake, our $30 diagnostic isn’t guesswork — it’s a structured fault-finding process based on what the system is doing and what we see onsite. We check within practical means to confirm what’s wrong — so the right work can follow.


What the $30 Check Actually Covers

This isn’t a quote or a cleaning pitch. It’s a technician-led system review, built around real symptoms — not assumptions.


1. Symptom Review

We start by asking what you’ve noticed — weak cooling, leaking, noise, smells, or shutdowns.

That helps us zone in: airflow, drainage, gas pressure, signal, or electrical fault.


2. Targeted System Inspection

We inspect what’s relevant to the reported issue.

Depending on the case, this may include:

  • Checking coil surface and airflow path

  • Inspecting blower operation or motor load

  • Reviewing sensor placement and board feedback

  • Flushing drainage or testing water flow

  • Observing signal response from indoor to outdoor units


3. System Run Test

Where practical, we power the system and monitor:

  • Start-up behaviour

  • Compressor/fan activation

  • Output temperature

  • Cut-off timing or code patterns


4. Diagnosis + Next Step Advice

Once the likely fault is isolated, we advise clearly:

  • If it’s a servicing case, we explain why

  • If a part is faulty, we explain what and how it affects the system

  • If unclear or deeper, we’ll recommend the next logical step (e.g. deeper dismantle or quote)


What This Check Is — and Isn’t

✔ Structured, symptom-led check to identify root cause

✔ Technician-led — not outsourced, not rushed

✔ Waived if repair proceeds

✖ Not a full teardown or multi-hour disassembly

✖ Not a speculative quote based on photos or description

✖ Not a servicing job in disguise


What This Process Prevents

  • Paying for a clean that doesn’t fix anything

  • Replacing parts without confirming the cause

  • Second visits due to wrong first assumptions

  • Confusion about what’s actually wrong


Why It Works

The best service isn’t fast quotes — it’s accurate ones.

This $30 check is the difference between treating symptoms and fixing the real fault.

We confirm first. Then we prescribe. That’s how aircon work should be done.
