Default In Search of an Air Con Service Guy

Hello,

I have posted a couple times on this forum and it has been quite helpful. I am settling quite nicely in Maadi, and my school is wonderful.

Does anyone know of a service provider for air conditioning?

The aircon drips into the house and one of them rattles quite loudly.

I have Carrier brand air conditioners.

Thanks for any references.

I am aware of Google.

I was looking for a recommendation. Someone who might say, "Hey this guy is pretty good, you should give him your business."

I appreciate it.

I got through to TG services and they are coming tomorrow. I assumed a HVAC person would be required although my problems aren't serious, just dripping lots of water inside, not out! So maybe they can fix it. I said "Air Con problems" and they said "OK".

I will try to contact BACCO if that doesnt work.

Perhaps it was a little too early on a Friday to get through to them.

Cheers.

Water dripping most likely to be DIRTY FILTERS - lift the front covers and remove the filter and give em a brush. Maybe all it needs.

Could very well be that.

But I need a step ladder to access them and I need to remove the metal grate. They spit droplets of water and one of the aircons rattles quite loudly.

Back home in the states, I'd do it myself. I aint gonna mess with it here. I dont have my tools.

Phone TG Services 0225166283. I am not saying they are wonderful, but they get the job done, most of the time...

I ended up using TG Services, and they got the job done- so far so good.
