AIRCON PORTFOLIO
Aircon Refrigerant Pipe Leaking Water: Replacing Poor Insulation
📍Project Location
Parbury Hill
🏠 Property Type
Condo
The homeowner of a Parbury Hill Condo unit engaged Homeone after noticing water leakage above the false ceiling and the owner suspected that it was a leaking water pipe. Our technician conducted a site inspection to trace the cause of the issue.
Upon assessment, our engineering team identified that the problem was due to aircon refrigerant pipe leaking water caused by poor insulation, which led to condensation forming and dripping. We recommended replacing the insulation with proper high-grade materials.
With the homeowner’s approval, our BCA-trained air-conditioning installers carried out the insulation replacement works. The project was completed efficiently with ceiling reinstatement to restore the affected area to its original condition.

Refrigerant Pipe: Armaflex® Class0
Aircon Refrigerant Pipe‘s Insulation Replacement Job Scopes:
1. Identifying the Faulty Insulation
Our technicians carefully inspect the existing refrigerant pipes to identify worn or poorly installed insulation that causes condensation and water leakage.
2. Removing Damaged Insulation
All compromised insulation materials are safely removed without damaging the refrigerant piping or surrounding finishes. This ensures a clean base for reinstallation.
3. Installing New Insulation
High-grade insulation is applied along the refrigerant pipes, sealed and secured to prevent condensation build-up. This helps eliminate dripping and ensures long-term durability.
4. Condensation Prevention Measures
All joints and bends are reinforced to minimise heat transfer and avoid future water accumulation. This step improves system efficiency and reduces maintenance risks.
5. Ceiling Reinstatement
Once insulation works are complete, our team reinstates the affected ceiling area. Finishing is done neatly, restoring the ceiling to its original appearance and condition.
Conclusion
The insulation replacement was completed to professional standards by our BCA-trained air-conditioning installers. By using high-quality materials (Armaflex®) and proper installation methods, condensation was eliminated, preventing further aircon refrigerant pipe leaking water issues. The ceiling reinstatement was carried out neatly, restoring the area to its original condition.
