Air Conditioning

With the hot and humid summer we feel in Mackay, our air conditioners certainly get a good workout!
The majority of breakdowns we attend to are usually caused by drain blockages from algae and mould build up. We found that nearly all of these air conditioners have not been serviced in recent years. These breakdowns could have very easily been prevented had the unit been serviced on a regular basis.

Three important reasons why servicing is a must:

1 – Better for the environment
Drains filled with algae and mould lower the energy efficiency of the air conditioner. Clogged air filters will also force the unit to work harder using more energy while delivering less cooling. The extra energy created by an inefficient unit will pollute the environment therefore creating more greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming.

2 – Better for your wallet
Better for your wallet: Regular servicing of your air conditioning units will help improve energy efficiency by speeding up the cooling off process therefore reducing the running times and saving money. By carrying out a full strip & clean of your air conditioner, you can save the cost of expensive breakdowns in the future. Not to mention the lengthy time delays waiting for part in the heat of summer!

3 – Better for your health
The units air filters accumulate a lot of dust, pollen, mould and other impurities which can aggravate allergies or worse, cause illness. Keeping the air conditioner filters clean and dust-free will improve the quality of cool air blowing from the unit that we are breathing in.
