The Benefits Of Ducted Air Conditioning Maintenance
There are many benefits to regular ducted air conditioning maintenance including:
Prevent Costly Repairs
One benefit of regular air conditioning maintenance is preventing costly repairs. This is because neglecting something as simple as a dusty air filter can lead to damaged internal components, a complete system breakdown, and costly repairs.

However, when your ducted air conditioning system is professionally serviced, your air conditioning specialist will clean and inspect the whole system. This means that if there is a problem with the unit, the technician will be able to identify and fix it before more damage is caused that could potentially leading to a costly unit breakdown.
Increase Efficiency

Another benefit of regular preventative maintenance is increased efficiency. When the internal components of an air conditioning unit become clogged with dust and other debris, it can reduce the airflow through the system. This causes the system to have to work harder to cool a room, using more electricity than usual.

During a scheduled service, your air conditioning technician will clean or replace clogged air filters as well as check for dust and debris within the air conditioner. This will ensure that your air conditioner is working as efficiently as possible when cooling your house, reducing your energy bill.

An air conditioner is a staple in most Queensland homes thanks to our notoriously hot summers, which makes it all the more frustrating when your air conditioner stops working as it should. There are many components in an air conditioning system which can make it difficult to identify what the problem could be and how to fix it. That’s why we have put together a list of common air conditioning problems and how to fix them.

If your air conditioner breaks down call Advanced Climate Solutions on 07 3206 3542. We offer 24/7 emergency breakdown service because we know how important an air conditioner can be during the sweltering Queensland summer months.

Air Conditioner Won’t Turn On
One of the most common problems we come across is an air conditioner that won’t turn on at all. There are many possible causes of an air conditioner not turning on when it should.

Firstly, the circuit breaker may have tripped or you may have blown a fuse. This is a very simple problem to fix. Simply reset your circuit breaker by turning it off and on again. If there is a broken fuse you will need to replace it, and your air conditioner should go back to working as normal.

Once you have established that neither a tripped circuit nor a broken fuse is causing your problem, make sure that the thermostat is in cooling mode and is set to a temperature that is lower than the current temperature of the room. This is because if the thermostat is set to the same temperature as the room it’s supposed to be cooling, it will not turn on as the room is already at the desired temperature.

If you have correctly set the […]

Are you sick of your employees complaining about the office being too cold or too hot? Do you drop the thermostat in winter and raise it in summer to save a few bucks on heating and cooling? Well, it could be costing you more money than you think.

It’s common knowledge that environment has a direct effect on productivity, for example, if there is a loud construction site next door to your office it will be much harder to focus on your work. However, what most people don’t know is that simply increasing or decreasing room temperature by a few degrees can have a huge effect on productivity. In fact, a Cornell University study found that when temperatures were lowered to 20 degrees celsius employees made 44% more mistakes than when room temperature was optimal at 25 degrees celsius.
The Benefits of Office Air Conditioning
Increase Productivity

One of the greatest benefits of installing air conditioning in the workplace is increased productivity. When temperatures are too cold or too hot, our bodies begin to use energy to try and regulate body temperature. This means that there is much less energy going towards focus and concentration. As a result, workers are likely to complete their work at a much slower pace and make more errors than they would in a temperature controlled environment.

In fact, office temperatures contribute to billions of dollars in lost productivity every year, and some studies have found that productivity can drop by up to 20% in uncomfortable temperatures. Conversely, when office air conditioning is set to the ideal temperature, workers are able to put more of their energy towards staying on task and focused.

Air conditioners are generally left unnoticed until they stop working. However, if you keep your air conditioner regularly maintained and ensure all parts are kept in good working condition, you can significantly reduce the chance of a break down. This includes regularly changing your air conditioning filter between scheduled services.

If you’re not confident in changing the filter in your air conditioner call Advanced Climates Solutions on 07 3206 3542 and one of our local air conditioning experts will do it for you.

What is an Air Conditioner Filter?
So, what is the air conditioning filter and why is it important? The filter in an air conditioner is usually a paper or mesh panel that is used to control the quality of the circulated air by filtering out dust and debris.

However, as the filter gradually builds up more and more dust and dirt it can become clogged, allowing dust to enter both the system and the room. Not only does this reduce the quality of the air in the room, when dust and dirt get into the air conditioner itself it can cause wear and tear on the inner components.

Additionally, as the filter becomes clogged, less air can flow through it meaning that your air conditioner has to work harder and for longer to produce cool air. This can cause the air conditioner to prematurely age and ultimately result in having to replace the unit sooner than expected.
How often should you change your AC filter?
How often you will need to change your air conditioner’s filter will vary with the climate where you live, the time of year, and the type of filter. During peak season (usually just summer but in hotter climates peak season can extend into spring […]

If you’re living in Queensland you probably don’t need to read an article to know the number one benefit of an air conditioner – escaping the sweltering humidity of a Queensland summer. However, there are a number of other benefits that come with an air conditioner such as:
Comfort
As mentioned above, for people living in hotter climates, air conditioning isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. With a summer high of 45.7 °C in greater Brisbane just last year, it’s no wonder why Queenslanders love their air conditioning.

Additionally, a reverse cycle air conditioner can keep your home at comfortable temperatures all year round with both heating and cooling functions.
Health
Quality air conditioning also brings with it huge benefits when it comes to your health. It is a known fact that heat can have harmful, and even fatal consequences to human life.

The health benefits of air conditioning are particularly beneficial for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. This is because the air conditioner filters the air, minimising irritants that can trigger an attack. However, the filtered air from an air conditioner is also beneficial to those without existing health issues as it is free from dust, dirt particles and bacteria.

Alongside controlling the temperature of the room, air conditioners also moderate the humidity. This can have major health benefits as extreme humidity, whether high or low, can have harmful effects on health. An overly humid environment can become a breeding ground for mould and bacteria and too little humidity can aggravate dry skin and dry out sinuses.

Note: it is important to regularly change the filters of the air conditioner to ensure that the circulated air is kept clean.
Sleep
Sleep plays a huge part in your overall health and wellbeing. […]
