07 Aug 5 Reasons to Regularly Service Your Air Conditioning System
Air Conditioning is fast becoming a staple in many Australian homes, and often a significant investment increasing both property appeal and value.
However like many things on our seemingly every increasing to do lists, servicing and maintaining these units to ensure they are working at optimal conditions is often overlooked and not prioritised. Below we discuss 5 key reasons to regularly service your air conditioning units:
Longer Operational Life
With a regular maintenance schedule in place, the standard life of a residential air conditioning system can range from 12-16 years. When considering the initial installation costs over the number of years of usage you can potentially get – there’s a lot more bang for your buck!
Energy Efficiency
Failing to regularly service your air conditioning contributes to an inefficient system. When a unit becomes clogged with grime and dust, not only will the unit struggle to heat and cool efficiently, but it is required to work a lot harder to reach the desired temperature, increasing power consumption and ultimately causing your power bill to rise.
Air Quality
In todays current climate, Air Quality is becoming more and more a topic of high importance and unfortunately due to the nature of air conditioning units, with the perfect combination of moisture, humidity and warmth, they are the perfect environment for bacteria and mould to thrive. If your filters are blocked, contaminants built up within the system will then be circulated around your home.
Lower Repair Costs
A benefit of having a qualified service technicians attend to your system on a regular basis, is the opportunity for them to highlight any issues or potential issues before they become a major concern. This can allow for repairs to be made to the system, in many cases avoiding minor issues deteriorating and causing more significant damage, saving the customer money in the long term.
