  1. Isolate the power to the unit and do not switch the unit on. Every unit has an isolation switch on it or the electrician can do this for you.
  2. Determine if both the indoor unit and outdoor unit have been flooded or whether just one of the two has been flooded.
  3. Most manufacturers will void your warranty if the unit has been flooded. 
  4. When a technician arrives they will assess the extent of the damage and decided with you whether the unit is repairable or not or whether you would like to change the unit over. A quote will be provided on site.
  5. If both units have been flooded it is unlikely that we will be able to repair the unit and we will provide a quote for a straight changeover. In most cases the wiring does not need to be replaced. 
  6. If only the indoor unit has been flooded, it may be difficult to find a replacement indoor unit depending on the age and make of the unit. The newer the unit the more likely it will that you will be able to find a replacement.
  7. If it is only the outdoor unit that is flooded, we can attempt to clean the operational components, dry them out and see if the air conditioner will operate however we cannot guarantee that the unit will operate or if it works, how long it will operate for.
