Daikin and Daikin Applied chillers, inverter screw and magnetic-bearing units.
Overview
Daikin covers everything from compact air-cooled scroll packages to inverter screw and oil-free magnetic-bearing machines. We service Daikin Applied plant on commercial, data centre and process cooling sites across Gauteng, including MicroTech controls and R-32 / R-1234ze retrofit units.

Troubleshooting
Tap a fault for likely causes, what to check on site, and when to call us out.
Likely causes
What to check
Check panel ventilation and filters, log incoming phase voltages under load.
When to call us
Repeated drive trips on an inverter Daikin need a power quality check — call us before the drive fails outright.
Likely causes
What to check
Check the event log for the exact bearing axis reported and note any supply disturbance at the same timestamp.
When to call us
Do not restart repeatedly — oil-free bearing faults need our controls technician on site.
Likely causes
What to check
Check discharge temperature against ambient and verify condenser airflow is unobstructed.
When to call us
R-32 runs hotter by design — call us if discharge temperature climbs above the panel warning threshold.
Likely causes
What to check
Check phase rotation at the isolator with a rotation meter before restarting.
When to call us
Reverse rotation destroys scroll sets in minutes — call us to verify before the unit is put back on line.
Parts & Spares
Daikin has good local support for sensors, EXVs, boards and inverter spares. Magnetic-bearing and inverter drive assemblies are import items with 4 – 10 week lead times; we recommend a spare drive on site for data centre plant.

FAQ
A routine Daikin service starts around R4 500 – R9 500 per unit depending on tonnage, compressor count and site access. Repairs are quoted separately after diagnosis. Send us the nameplate photos through the quote form and we come back with a fixed price within 24 hours.
Yes — we source OEM parts through South African distributors wherever the part is still catalogued. Where a component is obsolete or on long lead time, we offer a tested equivalent and tell you up front which route we are taking and what it does to the warranty.
Absolutely. Most of the Daikin plant we look after in Gauteng is well past its warranty period. We service, rebuild and re-commission older units rather than pushing you straight into a replacement.
We work with the unit controller and integrate it with BACnet, Modbus or your existing BMS head-end. That includes alarm mapping, trending, setpoint scheduling and getting fault history off the panel so we can see what actually tripped.
Same-day across Johannesburg, Pretoria, the East Rand, West Rand and the Vaal Triangle. Mpumalanga, North West, Free State and Limpopo are typically next-day, sooner for critical plant.
Yes — quarterly or bi-annual planned maintenance with logged readings, refrigerant records, water-side checks and a written condition report each visit. Contract clients get priority breakdown response.
