When running an air conditioning system regularly, it's important to have professionals you can trust on hand to deal with any issues if something goes wrong. Nobody wants to be stuck in the hot summer heat without air con for any length of time. At Airfirst Air Conditioning and Electrical, we offer expert air conditioning repairs and maintenance services to residential and commercial customers in Cairns. Calling us out to fix your faulty air con unit before problems worsen is the easiest way to reduce running costs and breakdown bills in the long term.

Cooling Challenges

Common Air Conditioning Issues

Cairns, like the rest of Australia, experiences long, hot summers when air conditioning is a necessity for most of us. Air conditioners are used in homes and businesses throughout Cairns to keep temperatures bearable even in blistering heat. However, air conditioning systems running for long periods of time every day are also more likely to break down or experience faults, which is why maintaining your air conditioning regularly is vital.

Some of the most common air conditioning issues are:

  • Air conditioners not cooling the room
  • Air conditioners not heating the room effectively
  • Water leaks and other drainage issues from the unit
  • Sensor and thermostat problems
  • Refrigerant leaks

Do You Need Air Conditioning Repairs?

It's essential to call out professionals at the first sign of trouble; if you do this, many problems can be fixed before they cause further damage to your air conditioning system.

Call us as soon as you notice your air conditioner isn't performing as it should, and we can replace and repair damaged parts while leaving the running parts of your air con unit intact.

Some signs that you should get your air conditioning system looked at include:

  • If your AC seems to be working or cooling the room less efficiently, this is a sign that internal components could be damaged or dust and debris are blocking the unit.
  • Leaks, including water and refrigerant leaks. This could affect the quality of the air that the AC pumps out, sometimes causing an odd smell. This will need fixing as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
  • Unusual noises coming from your air conditioner could signify an issue, particularly if the onset of these noises was quite sudden.
  • An AC unit that shuts down unexpectedly. If your AC unit turns itself off while it's running, this is a sign that your AC needs immediate attention.

At Airfirst, we have years of experience identifying air conditioning faults and repairing or replacing parts to ensure your AC is always performing efficiently.

Hard working and efficient.


Many thanks for the excellent work installing new air conditioning units at my home in July and September.


I would like to compliment Tyler and John for the safe and efficient work during the installation. I was very impressed with Tyler, who also installed our Daikin unit in July. Tyler is always courteous and kept my wife and I informed about the progress at all times. He is also very knowledgeable and answered questions readily.  


Airfirst can be proud of these two hard working and efficient young men. Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to Tyler and John and everyone at Airfirst for a job well done.

Happy wife.


Thank you for installing the air conditioner in the bedroom, my wife is very happy. The techs were very professional in their job and left the work site neat and tidy.


Roy & Tracey - Kewarra Beach

Crew were fantastic.


I just wanted to let you know that I could not be happier with my installation this morning. Your crew were fantastic, polite and professional, the work was clean and actually puts my other aircon installs to shame. They left inside and outside of the house clean you would not even know they were there. 


Great work guys I hope this praise gets back them.


Kerrie - Mareeba

Great communication.


Your technician kept me informed of what he was doing and the progression of the job. His conduct was very professional and had great communication. He used drop sheets and offered to clean up. I was very impressed.


Dani - Redlynch  

Friendly and efficient.


The works were completed satisfactorily with a minimum of disruption. The young man who was in charge was very friendly and efficient. He made a good impression and should receive some positive feedback. Thanks again for your assistance.


Brien L. Lawyers

We very impressed with the techs on site installing the air conditioners and even more impressed that they tidied up after themselves.


Kev & Anne - Brinsmead

Great job.


I was very impressed with the tech’s work. He did a great job.


Jane - Whitfield

Fantastic service every time.


We had Airfirst out on three separate occasions. The first time to do a basic air con clean, a year later to chemical clean two aircons and lately to install a new aircon. Absolutely fantastic service every time. They even cleaned up and locked up our house because we were out shopping when they finished. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism...☺
