Power outage or surge
Error codes, a system that will not start or a tripping breaker.
Diagnose the fault and repair or replace affected parts.
La Perouse sits on the northern headland of Botany Bay, beside Kamay Botany Bay National Park, open to weather from the bay and the ocean. Storms here can bring wind, salt spray and the occasional power outage.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in La Perouse homes takes a hit when big storms roll across Botany Bay. Power outages and surges can leave systems with error codes, wind can shift outdoor units, and debris can block coils. Knowing what to do after the power comes back, and when to call a technician, avoids making things worse. Alpha & Omega has repaired storm-affected systems across Sydney since 1989.
Simple, safe steps before you call us.
Give the power supply time to settle before switching on.
If the air conditioning circuit has tripped, reset it once only.
Listen for unusual noises and look for error lights.
Look for debris against the unit or any visible damage.
Repeated trips, error codes or strange noises need a technician.
