How to choose an aircon technician without overpaying

June 1, 2026

Weak cooling, bad smells or water dripping are all signs it is time to call a technician. But how do you pick one who does good work at a fair price? This checklist helps you decide with confidence.

1. Check experience and pro tier

On Tokebe each pro has a tier (Verified / Specialist / Professional) calculated from experience and real review scores. Favour pros with many reviews and high ratings.

2. Compare price ranges before booking

A standard home aircon cleaning is usually priced per unit, while refrigerant top-ups or repairs are charged separately. Check the price range listed and ask exactly what is included to avoid surprise costs.

3. Questions to ask before hiring

  • Does the price include refrigerant/parts?
  • Is there a warranty after the repair, and for how long?
  • How long will it take, and when can you come?

Once you have the answers, chat to arrange a time with the pro right in the Tokebe app.
