If your aircon isn’t working as it should — turning off randomly, not cooling properly, or not turning on at all — wiring issues might be the culprit.
But how do you know if the problem is with the wiring?
Let’s break it down into simple signs to watch out for.

1. Aircon Keeps Turning On and Off
Firstly, if your unit keeps switching on and off without reason, it could be a sign of faulty or loose wiring.
This kind of behavior usually points to power inconsistency caused by connection problems.
2. Flickering Lights When Aircon Starts
Next, notice if your lights flicker when you turn the aircon on.
This can mean your unit is drawing too much power due to a wiring short or overload.
3. Burning Smell or Scorch Marks
Also, any strange burning smell or black marks near your aircon’s outlet or circuit board can signal burnt wires.
In this case, turn it off immediately and call a professional — it’s a fire risk!
4. Tripping Circuit Breakers
Another sign of wiring issues is frequent tripping of your home’s circuit breakers.
Faulty wires can cause electrical surges that trigger these safety features.
What Should You Do?

If you notice any of these signs, don’t try to open the unit or fix the wires yourself.
Aircon wiring is dangerous and best handled by certified professionals.
