Introduction

Ignoring early signs of aircond failure can cost you big

In Malaysia’s hot and humid weather, your aircond is a daily essential. But if it starts showing signs of trouble, a total breakdown could be just around the corner. Here's how to catch issues early before you lose your cool—literally.

Unusual Noises Coming from the Unit

Buzzing, rattling, or clicking are red flags

Odd sounds often signal loose parts, motor issues, or electrical faults. Ignoring them can lead to major component failure.


Inconsistent Cooling or Warm Air

A working aircond should cool consistently

If your unit is blowing warm air or cooling unevenly, it could be a refrigerant problem or a malfunctioning compressor.


Frequent On-Off Cycling

Your aircond shouldn’t turn on and off repeatedly

This often points to thermostat problems or electrical control failures—both can escalate into bigger repairs if left unchecked.

Leaks, Drips, or Excess Moisture

Water should not be dripping from your unit

Condensation is normal, but leaks usually mean clogged drainage or frozen coils, which can lead to water damage.


Spike in Electricity Bills

A sudden increase in usage means the system is struggling

When your aircond uses more power, it’s compensating for inefficiencies caused by dirty filters, low gas, or faulty parts.


Burning Smell or Musty Odour

These smells are never normal

A burning smell can indicate motor issues or electrical short circuits, while musty odours suggest mould or bacteria inside the unit.


Did You Know?

  • Most aircond breakdowns in Malaysia happen just before or during peak hot seasons.

  • Servicing your aircond every 3–6 months can reduce breakdown risk by over 60%.

  • Bad smells from your aircond are often caused by mould growing in dirty filters.

Don’t wait for your aircond to stop working before you act. Watch out for these warning signs and schedule maintenance before a minor issue turns into a costly repair. Prevention is always cheaper—and cooler.
