    Air Conditioner Maintenance – Simple steps you can perform yourself

    By howard | Blog, Featured | 1 comment | 13 July, 2019 | 0

    Winter is currently upon us but it won’t be long before the long, hot days of Summer arrive. Your air conditioner plays a very important role in keeping your Sydney home cool and comfortable. Here are some useful maintenance tips to get your air conditioner in peak condition ready for Summer.

    • Check your air conditioner’s air filters. If they are dirty, change or clean them.
    • Clear the area where your outdoor unit is. Make sure there isn’t debris blocking airflow. Blocking the outdoor units’ air flow will reduce its efficiency.
    • Once in a while spray the outdoor condensing unit with water.
    • If you have a ducted air conditioning system, make sure the low level vents are not blocked by furniture and your high level vents are free from dust.
    • If you are using only one room, close the doors of other rooms and turn off their zones (for ducted air conditioning systems).
    • Set the fan on “auto”, this way you won’t have the fan running constantly.
    • Check the refrigerant levels.
    • Check for any leakage and if found, seal it.
    • Check and measure the air flow on the evaporator coil.
    • Check the thermostat.
    • Shut the windows and blinds to reduce external heat coming in.
    • Respond to noises and vibrations that are appear unusual.

    If you need help with any of these air conditioner maintenance checks or if you need a new installation or repair, feel free to contact us. We are more than happy to assist.

    Building a new family home is challenging but fun, and my husband and I wanted everything to be perfect. We had a limited budget so everything needed to be well planned. I didn’t know much about water and gas installation, but the guys from this company were very patient and explained everything that needed to be done. They provided a detailed plan, including all prices, so we were sure that we could afford their service even before they started working. They started working at the time and date we previously set, and I was surprised by how many tools and equipment they are using. The installation of the water and gas pipelines was finished before the deadline, and we highly recommend this company’s services.

    My girlfriend and I moved into a new apartment, and we were very happy because we have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Unfortunately, the first morning in our new home started with a flooded bathroom, and half of our living room was covered with water too. We needed to act quickly, and I managed to close the main vent and to clean all the water, so we started looking for a professional leak detection and repair service. Luckily, these guys were able to visit us in the afternoon, so we didn’t have to look further. They found the source of leakage and repaired everything easily. I am so happy they had an available time slot because their staff is highly skilled, and the prices are very reasonable.

    Last month we moved our company into a new office space. The premises we rented already had an air-conditioning system, so we thought there was no need to change it. Soon after, we realised that it’s not working as it should, and we called this company to come and check what is going on. It turned out there was no point in fixing it because it would cost too much, so we asked them to suggest the type of AC that will be able to heat and cool the space we were using. They found the best model within our budget and provided professional installation, so the entire fuss with AC was finished within a couple of days. Thank you for everything.

    Mike was extremely professional to deal with, he provided a solution to our hot water tank issue straight away and we were without hot water for less than 24 hours thanks to Mike. Would highly recommend his services to anyone.
