When a compressor fails, it is easy to patch it up, get it running for the day and move on. Then the same problem comes back a few weeks later and costs far more to put right than a proper job would have.

Recently our team took out a faulty compressor on board a ship and installed a new one. In this photo they are testing the connections at the compressor's terminal box as part of our usual testing and checking regime. This ensures the job is done right the first time, and the new unit stands up to the heat, humidity and corrosion it works in and satisfies our Electrical Test Sheets.

Niugini Power Systems has skilled people for refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as electrical, generator and fire alarm work, from breakdown call-outs to full installations. One call covers it all.

An air conditioner does more than cool the room. It also takes moisture out of the air, and that water has to drain away properly, which matters in a humid tropical climate like ours in Papua New Guinea.

Daikin's operation manual says that if no water comes out of the drainpipe while the unit is running in cooling mode, the drainpipe may be clogged with dust or dirt and water may leak from the indoor unit, so you should stop the unit and have it looked at. The same manual warns against placing items under the indoor unit, because condensation can form there when the humidity is above 80 per cent or the drain outlet is blocked. The ENERGY STAR programme of the United States Environmental Protection Agency adds that a plugged drain can cause water damage and affect indoor humidity levels.

This week, take a look at the drain outlet while the unit is cooling, and keep the space under the indoor unit clear. If water is dripping from the unit or nothing is draining, switch it off and our skilled air conditioning team at Niugini Power Systems will check it properly for you.

Working at height leaves no room for shortcuts. A rushed install can look fine on the day, but when the unit stops cooling properly a few weeks later, the same problem comes back and costs far more to put right.

This week Valina Tabua installed a 36,000 BTU ceiling cassette air conditioner, set up to perform reliably in PNG's heat and humidity and done right the first time.

From air conditioning and refrigeration to electrical, generators and fire alarm systems, Niugini Power Systems has the skilled team to handle it all, with one trusted call.

Clean air filters are one of the simplest ways to keep a split system air conditioner cooling well and using less power, and it is a job most homes and offices can do themselves.

Daikin's operation manual for its room air conditioners says that clogged air filters cause inefficient operation and waste energy, and it recommends cleaning them about once every two weeks. The United States Department of Energy says that routinely cleaning or replacing your air filters can lower an air conditioner's energy consumption by 5 to 15 per cent. Before you open the front panel, stop the unit and turn off its circuit breaker, as the manual directs, then vacuum or wash the filters the way your own model's manual describes.

It is worth putting a filter reminder in the diary for every unit on the premises. If a unit still struggles to cool once the filters are clean, our skilled refrigeration and air conditioning team at Niugini Power Systems is happy to take a look.

This photo takes us back to 2016. It was Job #002, one of our very first jobs.

Our team was servicing the main AC alternator on a 1 megawatt generator. A generator that big keeps a business running, so the work had to be done properly the first time. No patching, and no coming back weeks later for the same fault.

We still work the same way today. Niugini Power Systems has skilled people for generators, electrical, refrigeration and air conditioning, all in one trusted team.

When a cooling plant develops a refrigerant leak, the job is to diagnose the real fault and fix it once, not to leave a band-aid repair that brings the same problem back weeks later. This week our refrigeration team checked and repaired a refrigerant leak on the discharge pipe of a CO2 chiller plant at BOC and got the cooling back on. Niugini Power Systems puts skilled, experienced refrigeration and air conditioning crews on industrial plant across Papua New Guinea, alongside our electrical, fire alarm and project work, so customers can deal with one trusted contractor.

07/10/2026

Put a working thermometer in the warmest part of the cold room, write the temperature down, and treat a rise you cannot explain as a call for a licensed refrigeration technician.

Codex says refrigerated rooms should monitor and record temperature, with devices placed to catch the maximum temperature in the room. Food Standards Australia New Zealand guidance used across the region keeps potentially hazardous food at 5 °C or colder (or 60 °C or hotter for hot hold).

A log is how you know the plant failed overnight.

Stop the generator, let the oil settle, then check the dipstick against the manufacturer full and add marks.

Cummins says park level and stop the set before checking oil. Kohler’s published operator guidance is to check oil every 8 hours, and not to treat a low-oil-pressure switch as if it were a low-oil-level safeguard. On plant that already runs most of the day in Papua New Guinea, that 8-hour mark is a working-day check.

If the level keeps falling, call a licensed contractor.
