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.
