Frequently Asked Questions

Air conditioning is a system that regulates the air quality and temperature in a room or building. It can cool down a space in the summer or heat it in the winter. Air conditioning systems usually rely on compressors, coils and fans to function.

The cost of air conditioning depends on the unit you choose and how often you run it. 

There are three types of air conditioners: window units, central air conditioning and portable air conditioners. 

Like most appliances, an air conditioner needs to be regularly cleaned and maintained. The filters need to be cleaned and the whole system should be serviced every 18 months or for heavy users every year. Houses that are close to salt air and direct salt from living in seaside suburbs should have their outdoor system checked regularly.

The best way to use your air conditioner is to turn it on early in the day before the temperature gets too extreme. Your air conditioner will have to work at a higher capacity to drop the temperature in a 30-degree room than it would if you had put it on at 25 degrees. If your air conditioner has a timer, you can use this function to set your on/off times.

Getting an air conditioner serviced once a year is worth it as it helps to extend its lifespan and optimise performance. 

A split system A/C is generally the best choice for cooling/warming a living room.

One way to cool your room without A/C is to use a fan. Another way is to open the windows to let in a breeze. When those fail, it’s time to install an air conditioner! 

Your indoor unit should not drip water. You should call us and book a repair service if your indoor unit leaks water.

It is normal for the outside unit to drip water, particularly when operating a window unit or the system is in heating mode. Most units have a drain outlet and coupling supplied should you wish to connect a drainpipe to remove this water to drain at a different location. Remember that air conditioners don’t cool the air, they remove the heat and humidity from the air therefore water as a waste product is normal.

Installing an air conditioner is a complex and potentially dangerous job and should be left to a licensed technician. 

The cost to install an air conditioner can vary depending on the size and type of air conditioner you choose.

Commercial refrigeration is used in smaller applications, such as convenience stores and restaurants, while industrial refrigeration is used in larger facilities, such as factories.

Your air conditioner probably needs to be reset. On an HWS system, remove the grille to find the reset button and press. In ducted and commercial systems, the reset button is located on the controller.

A freezer room is where you store food to keep it cold. They’re typically found in grocery stores, restaurants and other commercial facilities.

Duct extraction systems can remove various contaminants from your business’s air, making it healthier for you and your staff. For that reason alone, they are certainly worth it.

Ducted air conditioning is an important feature of any home and does increase its overall value.

Commercial fridges are bigger and stronger, and therefore use more electricity than their residential counterparts.

Commercial ventilation systems are essential for maintaining a healthy work environment. They help circulate fresh air and remove pollutants that can cause health problems for employees.

There is no definitive answer, as the lifespan of a commercial refrigerator depends on several factors, including how often it is used and how well it is maintained. However, commercial refrigerators generally tend to last longer than residential models.

A mechanical exhaust system removes pollutants, such as carbon dioxide and water vapour, from an engine or other mechanical system.
