Air Conditioning Services in Springs
ARS provides air conditioning services in Springs, from servicing and repairs to new installations and regassing, for plant offices and control rooms in the industrial suburbs and family homes in Selection Park, Casseldale and Petersfield. All makes and models, on site, with 24/7 emergency call-outs.
A mining town that turned to manufacturing
Springs, now part of the City of Ekurhuleni, grew on coal and then gold, with gold mining starting in 1908. When the last mine in town closed in the late 1960s, the economy shifted to manufacturing and engineering: processed metals, chemicals, paper, glass and food. Sappi runs a paper mill at Enstra, and industrial suburbs such as New Era, Nuffield and Fulcrum carry much of the rest.
The residential suburbs that grew up around the old town centre are largely established areas with older houses. So air conditioning in Springs splits neatly in two: heavy-use units in workplaces, and home units that often go in long after the house was built.
Three priorities for Springs workplaces and homes
These shape how we plan air conditioning services in Springs, from sizing a new unit to setting service intervals.
Uptime in plant offices
Control rooms, labs and supervisor offices in Enstra, New Era and Nuffield can't afford a dead unit on a production day. Planned servicing and quick access to fault-finding matter more than the price of the unit itself.
Dust and process heat
Paper, metal, chemical and food plants produce dust, fibres and heat. Outdoor coils clog faster and indoor filters need more frequent cleaning, so placement and service intervals are set with that in mind.
Older homes, newer units
Established houses in Casseldale, Selection Park and Strubenvale often need a dedicated circuit and careful pipe routing through thick brick walls before a new split can be fitted cleanly.
Whatever the building, four services keep a unit working, and the order matters: regular servicing prevents most repairs, and a well-planned installation makes servicing easier. Here's how each one applies at work and at home.
Air conditioning services in Springs: servicing, repairs, installs and regassing
Servicing and maintenance plans
Homes typically need a service once a year, ideally before summer. Our aircon servicing covers filters, indoor and outdoor coils, the drain line, refrigerant pressures and electrical connections. Industrial units that run long hours in dusty conditions need more frequent attention, which is where maintenance plans and our industrial air conditioning service come in.
Repairs
Fault-finding is done on site, covering control boards, capacitors, fan motors, sensors and the refrigerant circuit. You get an explanation and a quote before parts are ordered. Our aircon repairs page lists common faults, and emergency repairs are available 24/7.
Installation
We assess the space, the heat load and the electrical supply before recommending a unit. In factories that may mean a cassette or ducted system for an open office; at home it's usually a wall-mounted split per room. Read more about aircon installation.
Regassing
A low refrigerant charge means there's a leak. We find and fix it, then regas with the refrigerant specified for the unit.
Shops, offices and storm season
Shops and offices in and around the CBD need units that cope with long trading hours and doors opening all day, which is where commercial air conditioning comes in. At home and at work, summer thunderstorms and power returning after outages are a common cause of control board failures, so surge protection at the distribution board is money well spent.
