Air conditioners can face several common issues that may affect their performance. Common problems include refrigerant leaks, electrical issues, frozen coils, and drainage problems. If not addressed, these issues can lead to inadequate cooling or airflow, increased energy consumption or can cause your unit to stop functioning altogether. Regular checks can catch problems early, keeping your unit running efficiently and reliably.
There are a few signs which indicate your air conditioner might need servicing:
- Reduced cooling efficiency the unit struggles to maintain desired temperatures, could be due to various issues like clogged filters or refrigerant leaks.
- Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing, may suggest mechanical problems that need addressing. Bad odours, resulting from mould or mildew buildup, indicate poor air quality and may require cleaning.
- Higher energy bills often suggest your system is working harder than necessary, possibly due to components needing maintenance.
To ensure your aircon keeps performing optimally, we recommend having your air conditioner serviced annually.
