Below are hints, tips and advice from Cold Heat to ensure the best use of your air conditioning.
Don't neglect your outdoor unit as it is vital to air conditioning as it generates the cool air for your air conditioner.
Check the unit regularly to ensure that it is free from leaves, overgrown grass, insect nests, dirt etc. as these can create blockages and damage the unit
Once every 12 months give the outside casing a wash with soapy water and then apply a layer of car polish to protect the casing from the elements and help
maximize the life of your air conditioner
Check for any wear or damage to the hoses coming out of the unit. This can result in a leak of the refrigerant gas, which will require a service call to
re-gas the unit.
Turn on the air conditioner before the house is hot otherwise it takes extra energy to cool the house to a comfortable level.
Use blinds and shades to keep the heat out.
Close doors to all non air-conditioned "utility" rooms like toilets, laundry, walk-in wardrobes etc. Cooling these rooms can be a waste of energy.
For windows exposed to the westerly aspect, keep these shaded during the peak temperature of the day (i.e. over 30°C)
If your home is unoccupied during the day (e.g. at work), use the timer operation and set the air conditioner to start about 2 hours before you get home.
That way when you arrive home the house is already cool.
Did you know?
An air conditioner is a sealed system and the gas does not “wear out” so it should not require regular re-gassing each year.
If the unit is not cooling to best effect check your filters and remote control setting before calling for service.
