A local team built on practical service
Aircon Depot has been based in Clairwood, Durban since 2008, and we have grown by doing the basics properly. That means clear communication, careful workmanship and steady support for customers in Clairwood, Durban Central, South Durban, North Durban, West Durban and the wider eThekwini area. If you like hands-on work and solving problems on the road or on site, you will fit in well here.
We work on domestic and commercial systems, from small split units in homes to larger installations in offices, shops and light industrial spaces. Our team deals with Durban heat, coastal humidity and the kind of breakdowns that come with load-shedding and heavy day-to-day use. It is practical work, and every job teaches you something new.
Roles we typically hire for
We do not keep a fixed vacancy list on this page, but we often need people in technical, logistics and customer-facing roles. Some positions are field based, while others keep the workshop and office side moving.
- Air-conditioning technicians and assistants
- Installation crews for domestic and commercial units
- Fault finding and breakdown call-out support
- Refrigerant gas handling and leak check work
- Spares, parts and stock control
- Customer care and job coordination
We value people who can follow instructions, ask the right questions and take pride in tidy work. Experience helps, but attitude and consistency matter just as much.
What the work involves day to day
Our jobs are varied. One morning may start with a drain blockage or a capacitor change in Clairwood, and the next call may be a compressor replacement in Durban Central. You may also be involved in planned maintenance, deep clean service work, controls repair or checking fan motors after a breakdown. It is not office-only work, and it is not the same task every day.
Because we serve both homes and businesses, we look for people who can work neatly around customers, manage tools properly and keep safety in mind. In some jobs the pace is quick, especially during peak summer and after power interruptions, so a calm approach helps a lot.
Skills and qualities that suit our team
You do not need to know everything on your first day, but you should be willing to learn and to work to a proper standard. We appreciate staff who respect time, keep vehicles and site areas tidy, and communicate clearly with the team and customers.
- Basic technical knowledge or trade experience

- Clean presentation and respectful conduct on site
- Ability to work in Durban heat and coastal conditions
- Reliability with early starts and call-out work
- Comfort working with tools, spares and equipment
If you have refrigeration or aircon experience, that is useful. If you are starting out, we still welcome a proper CV and a short note explaining what you can do and where you want to grow.
