Window Air Conditioner Installation in Kenya

Proper installation is the foundation of a window air conditioner’s performance. A poorly installed unit can lead to inefficiencies, leaks, or even damage to the appliance. At Nairobi Repair Center, we follow a meticulous process to ensure your window AC is installed correctly:

1. Site Assessment: Our technicians evaluate the window space, electrical supply, and room size to determine the best placement and unit capacity (measured in BTUs).
2. Window Preparation: We secure the window frame, seal gaps, and ensure proper support for the unit’s weight.
3. Unit Mounting: The air conditioner is carefully mounted, leveled, and fastened to prevent vibrations or tilting.
4. Electrical Connection: We connect the unit to a stable power source, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
5. Testing: After installation, we test the unit for cooling efficiency, airflow, and noise levels to confirm everything is functioning as expected.

Our installation services guarantee minimal disruption and maximum efficiency, tailored to the unique climate and building conditions in Kenya.

Common Issues with Window Air Conditioners

Even with proper installation, window air conditioners can encounter problems over time due to wear, environmental factors, or lack of maintenance. Below are some of the most common issues we address at Nairobi Repair Center, along with their causes and solutions:

1. Unit Not Cooling Properly

• Cause: Dirty air filters, low refrigerant levels, or a faulty compressor.
• Solution: Clean or replace filters, recharge refrigerant, or repair/replace the compressor. Regular maintenance can prevent this issue.

2. Water Leakage Inside or Outside

• Cause: Clogged drain pan, improper installation, or excess humidity.
• Solution: Clear drainage channels, adjust the unit’s tilt, or install a drip pan if needed.

3. Unusual Noises (Rattling or Buzzing)

• Cause: Loose parts, debris in the fan, or a failing motor.
• Solution: Tighten screws, remove debris, or replace worn-out components like the fan motor.

4. AC Not Turning On

• Cause: Power supply issues, a tripped breaker, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
• Solution: Check the power source, reset the breaker, or repair/replace the thermostat.

5. Foul Odors from the Unit

• Cause: Mold or bacteria buildup in the filter or evaporator coil.
• Solution: Clean the filter and coil with disinfectant, and schedule regular servicing to prevent recurrence.

These issues, if left unaddressed, can worsen over time, leading to higher repair costs or complete unit failure. Nairobi Repair Center offers prompt diagnostics and repairs to restore your window air conditioner’s performance.
