How much does aircon repair cost in Johor Bahru?
An aircond repair in Johor Bahru is RM 115 to RM 2,200 all in, part and labour, 8% SST included: a capacitor at RM 115 to RM 160 at the low end, a compressor at RM 850 to RM 2,200 at the top. Finding the fault is the RM 79 call-out and diagnosis, deducted from the bill if you go ahead, and every part is named and priced before it goes in.
| Repair | Labour | Part | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacitor replacement | RM 80 | RM 35 to RM 80 | RM 115 to RM 160 |
| Drain pump replacement | RM 100 | RM 80 to RM 180 | RM 180 to RM 280 |
| Fan motor, indoor | RM 100 | RM 150 to RM 350 | RM 250 to RM 450 |
| Fan motor, outdoor | RM 120 | RM 200 to RM 450 | RM 320 to RM 570 |

| Compressor replacement | RM 250 to RM 400 | RM 600 to RM 1,800 | RM 850 to RM 2,200 |
- Every price in this section, the RM 79 included, has 8% SST in it.
- Gas is not in these rows. It is priced separately, by refrigerant, once the leak is found.
- Service, chemical wash, gas and installation prices sit side by side on the aircon service Johor Bahru price list.
Aircond not cold? The four causes we check
Running but not cold is the most common aircond call we get in JB. The four causes, from most to least frequent, and what each one costs to fix:
- A fouled coil restricting airflow. A smell on start-up is the same cleaning job. Neither is a repair: an aircond chemical wash in Johor Bahru is from RM 180 for a single wall split at 1.0 to 1.5 HP.
- Low refrigerant from a leak; cooling that faded gradually over months points to this one. Refrigerant is not used up, so we find the leak before any gas goes in, and prices by refrigerant are on the aircond gas top up Johor Bahru page.
- A failed capacitor stopping the compressor: RM 115 to RM 160 all in.
- A failed outdoor fan motor: RM 320 to RM 570 all in.
A sudden total failure is more often electrical than gas. We tell you which cause it is before charging you for a cleaning or a repair.
Aircond leaking water inside the room
Nine times out of ten, water dripping inside the room is a blocked drain line, which is a cheap fix. Less often it is a cracked drain pan, or an ice-up caused by low gas. If the drain pump is the failed part, replacement is RM 180 to RM 280 all in.
Aircond tripping the breaker
An aircond that trips the breaker has a fault in the unit or in the circuit, so we test both. A fault in the unit is priced as a repair from the table above. A fault in the circuit is electrical work, and our electrician in Johor Bahru prices it as electrical work. You are not charged twice to find out which one it is.
Aircond noisy: rattling, grinding or screeching
A loud rattle, grinding or screech points to one of three things: a blower wheel out of balance, a worn fan bearing, or a failing compressor. The fan motor and compressor prices are in the table above. A failing compressor is the one that changes the maths on whether a repair is worth doing, which the repair or replace section below covers.
Aircond not turning on or not responding to the remote
A unit that is completely dead comes down to the PCB, the power supply, or a remote whose batteries nobody checked, so we check the cheap causes first. An inverter PCB replacement is RM 370 to RM 720 all in.
Ice on the aircond pipes or indoor coil
Ice on the copper pipes or the coil is a symptom, not the fault. It comes from low refrigerant or restricted airflow, the same two causes at the top of the not-cold list above, and we find which one before quoting, because topping up the gas without finding the leak only buys a few months.
Repair or replace: when a repair stops making sense
Compressor replacement is the top of the table, RM 850 to RM 2,200. On an inverter unit past three or four years that is usually more than a new unit installed, where a standard wall-split install is RM 350 to RM 550 plus the unit, so you get both numbers before you choose.
A leak inside the indoor coil is the other case. A new coil often costs more than the unit is worth, and we tell you that rather than selling you a gas top up every four months. If your unit still runs on R22, the refrigerant being phased out and the most expensive to refill, put replacement into your one-to-three-year plan.
