Answer
Air conditioning works by cooling or heating your home, creating a comfortable living environment by filtering the air and removing the moisture, which causes humidity. The principle behind air conditioning is simple. Two coils, one inside your home and one outside are connected by pipes filled with refrigerant. This fluid is pumped through a circuit of pipes by a compressor.
The two fans pass air over these coils. During the cooling cycle, warmed refrigerant circulates through the outside coil where it releases heat and cools down. It moves back inside, and is circulated through the indoor coil. The hot air inside your home is blown over this cold coil where it cools down and in turn, cools your home. During this process the refrigerant warms up and moves back outside to repeat the cycle.
Answer
A ducted system is designed to air condition more than 1 room of your home. Individual outlets are situated in each room with the air conditioning controlled by a central controller. A split system is designed to air condition one room. If you are looking to air-condition your whole home than you should consider ducted.
Answer
Cleaning your filter is one of the utmost important parts to maintaining the system between annual preventative maintenance services. This not only helps maximise the life-span of your system but also its running efficiency. Dirty filters result in less air passing through, which means your condenser will be working harder, increasing your total energy consumption.
It is always important to clean your filters regularly to remove dust and debris built up that could potentially compromise the materials integrity.
This is one of the most common service call issues we see; once the filters have become compromised the dust and debris can be easily sucked through the material and into the condenser unit, which then as a result can lead to a number of faults and issues with the system, such as blocked drain pipes, water leaks and even potential fan blade jams if the material itself is weak enough to be sucked through entirely.
We advise all of our clients to clean their filters every one to two months depending on over all usage of the system. We recommend hosing the filters, or giving them a light vacuum, carefully however, as powerful vacuums can damage and sometimes rip the material.
Airclean filters are a new product offered at Air-Max, the new design allows end users to leave their filters for up to 12 months without a routine clean!
Answer
Reverse cycle air conditioning is the most energy efficient method of heating or cooling your home. Running costs are strongly influenced by how long the air conditioner is running. Therefore an undersized air conditioning system will be significantly more expensive to operate than one that is sized correctly. On average a 55kW unit would cost approximately 70 cents per hour to run.
Answer
We recommend a yearly preventative maintenance service. This ensures that your air conditioning system is working to it’s full potential.
Answer
YES. Correct sizing of your air conditioning system is critical for both comfort and efficiency. A system that is over sized will sacrifice both comfort and efficiency, the same can be said for an undersized unit. Before purchasing an air conditioning system, make sure a licensed technician performs a heat load calculation on your home to ensure correct sizing.
Answer
A build-up of mould and growth on your system can cause a series of issues for both your families and your systems health. Air Pollutants are more easily spread around the home via the air conditioning system, this is why a general maintenance system once a year paired the with a general clean of the filters once a month with either the hose or vacuum is of utmost importance
Answer
A deflector can improve your air conditioner’s efficiency only if it’s affected by poor airflow.
Is your outdoor unit’s airflow limited due to a wall or a fence?
If it is not possible to locate the outdoor system with adequate space for the outdoor system to perform at its best you can add deflectors which pushes the air upwards or sideways which stops the issue of recirculation.
Answer
Air conditioning is often zoned to keep the purchase of running costs to a minimum. The house is usually zoned according to the family’s lifestyle. Zoning works by a series of dampers that direct the flow of air in the ducted system to one area or another. A control panel inside your home is provided for convenient zone usage.
Answer
Through new advanced technology, inverter air conditioners are more economical to operate and quieter to run than conventional units. They can handle greater extremes in temperature and reach the desired temperature quicker than conventional air conditioners.
