Aircon repair

$200

South Melbourne VIC, Australia

16th Dec 2025

I have a Fujitsu ASTG12LVCC DC Inverter split system (installed 3 years ago). The indoor unit is dead — no lights, no response to manual button or remote. I replaced the remote batteries. The aircon breaker and balcony isolator are both on, so the unit is receiving power.

Super helpful and the job ended up not being what initially I thought, but he helped service the aircon to help anyway. Would definitely recommend again.
