Aircon Services in Kempton Park
ARS provides aircon services in Kempton Park for family homes, offices and the warehouses and factories around OR Tambo International Airport. We install, repair, service and regas all makes and models, with 24/7 emergency call-outs when a unit gives up at the worst moment.
Kempton Park, part of the City of Ekurhuleni, is really two places sharing one name. North of the old town centre are residential suburbs such as Glen Marais, Birchleigh and Aston Manor, with freestanding homes and plenty of townhouse complexes. Closer to the airport, Isando and Spartan run on warehousing, freight forwarding and manufacturing, where air conditioning keeps offices, control rooms and dispatch areas workable through a Highveld summer.
Our technicians work on site at your premises, on all types and makes of units. Here's what that covers.
Aircon services in Kempton Park, from townhouses to warehouses
- New installations. Wall-mounted splits, cassettes and ducted systems, sized after a site assessment. See how we approach aircon installation, including placing the outdoor unit where it can breathe and be reached later.
- Fault-finding and repairs. Units that blow warm air, trip the breaker, drip water indoors or flash error codes. Our repair service covers the electrical side, the refrigerant circuit and the fans.
- Routine servicing. Our aircon servicing includes filter and coil cleaning, drain flushing, pressure readings and electrical checks. Sites with several units usually do better on a maintenance plan than on ad hoc call-outs.
- Leak repair and regassing. Refrigerant doesn't get used up, so a low charge means a leak. We find and fix it before regassing with the refrigerant listed on the unit's nameplate.
- After-hours breakdowns. Emergency call-outs run 24/7, weekends and public holidays included.
Airport-side industry and what it asks of an aircon
The industrial nodes around OR Tambo, chiefly Isando and Spartan, with Chloorkop and Pomona nearby, are full of distribution warehouses, freight businesses and factories. Many run long shifts. A unit in a dispatch office or on a warehouse mezzanine may run from early morning to late evening, which wears out filters, fan motors and contactors far quicker than a bedroom unit used a few hours a night.
Truck traffic and loading bays put a fine layer of dust on outdoor coils. A condenser that seemed fine all winter can start cutting out on high pressure in the first hot week of summer, simply because it can't shed heat. For these sites, planned aircon services in Kempton Park beat waiting for a breakdown. Our commercial air conditioning page covers offices and shopfronts, while industrial air conditioning deals with factories, workshops and warehouses.
Server and comms rooms deserve a mention of their own. Logistics firms depend on booking and tracking systems, and a small server room that overheats over a weekend can hold up dispatch on Monday. A dedicated unit sized for the equipment heat, plus regular servicing, is the usual answer. We explain the basics in cooling a small server room.
Homes in Glen Marais, Birchleigh and nearby
On the residential side, complex rules shape most installations. In a sectional-title townhouse complex the body corporate normally decides where an outdoor unit may hang and whether an outside wall may be core drilled, so get that approval in writing before installation day. Living in Glen Marais? Our Glen Marais aircon page goes into that suburb in more detail. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Edenvale, Benoni and Boksburg.
Storm season and power dips
Summer afternoon thunderstorms bring lightning and short power interruptions, and load shedding adds extra on and off cycles. A surge when power returns is a common reason a control board (the PCB, the unit's electronic brain) fails. Surge protection at the distribution board helps, and so does waiting a few minutes before switching units back on after an outage.

Kempton Park aircon questions
Usually, yes. We plan the visit around the number of units, roof or ladder access and your working hours, so office areas aren't left without cooling for longer than needed. A list of units with their locations and model numbers helps us plan properly.
Not special equipment, but location matters. Road and industrial dust builds up on outdoor coils faster than in a leafy residential street, so condensers there tend to need cleaning more often. Units on flat roofs also sit in full sun all day, which makes clean coils and a correct refrigerant charge even more important.
Most complexes require it. The body corporate or HOA usually wants to approve where the outdoor unit goes, how pipes and cables are run and whether a wall may be drilled. Ask for the conduct rules first and share them with your installer so the quote matches what is allowed.
Units that run long hours in offices, warehouses or server rooms are normally serviced every three to six months, while a lightly used home unit can often go a year. Dusty sites and units that run every day belong at the shorter end of that range.
