Split System Air Conditioning in Newcastle

The main thing to remember is to clean your air conditioning system filter regularly. Your system might indicate that the filter needs cleaning with a flashing light, or you can simply clean your air conditioner’s filter regularly: once a season in the home, or once a month in a commercial setting should be enough.

Split system air conditioning systems have a good life expectancy of up to around 20 years, making them longer lasting than the average central air conditioning system.

In hot weather, you can use your air conditioning system in a more energy-efficient way by turning it on earlier in the day, which means it has to work less hard to cool your home down. You can also ensure your air conditioning system is running efficiently by cleaning the filters regularly and having your air conditioning services at least once a year.

When it comes to choosing and installing a split system, you’ll need to consider factors. The size of your room will determine the cooling or heating capacity of your split system. A system that’s too small won’t cool or heat your room effectively, while one that’s too big will consume more power than necessary.

Energy efficiency is another important consideration. Look for systems with a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and Coefficient of Performance (COP) to reduce power consumption and environmental impact. Lastly, consider the position for installation. The indoor and outdoor units should be installed where they won’t be obtrusive and where airflow will not be blocked for maximum efficiency.

Split systems are a great option if you want to control the temperature in individual rooms, as each can be controlled independently. This means you can save energy and money by only heating or cooling the rooms you’re using.

They’re also ideal if you’re in a property where ducted air conditioning isn’t an option or space for a unit is limited. Additionally, they can be a good choice if you’re looking for a cost-effective solution for adding air conditioning to a single room or small area.

If your unit doesn’t get cold after you turn it on for the first time, don’t panic. It might just need a little time to start operating efficiently. However, if after a few hours, it still isn’t producing cool air, there are a few things you could check.

Ensure the thermostat is set to a lower temperature than the current room temperature. Also, make sure the mode is set to cool. If these settings are correct, check if the air filters are clean and the outdoor unit is not blocked. If none of these troubleshooting tips help, it’s best to call the professionals.

If you can feel cold air coming out of your split system but the room isn’t getting any cooler, it could be a case of the unit being too small for the room. Other potential reasons could include poor insulation, too much sunlight entering the room or other appliances in the room producing a significant amount of heat. If you’ve addressed all these possible issues and there’s still a problem, it might be time to call us.

For the optimal performance of your split system, it’s recommended to clean the filters every two to four weeks. This timeframe can depend on how often the system is used, the air quality in your area and whether there are pets. The filters should be replaced every few months or as specified in the unit’s user manual.

Regular servicing of your split system is important to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Certain signs that your system might need servicing include unusual noises, a decrease in performance, an increase in energy consumption and ineffective cooling or heating. Also, if you notice a musty smell when the system is running, this could indicate that the system needs cleaning or that there’s mould growth, which should be addressed immediately.
