Air conditioning is crucial in any Auckland home or business, especially during the hot and humid summer or the chilly winter months. Although so many of us rely on air conditioners daily, many homeowners and business owners might find themselves confused when it’s time to purchase, install and maintain an air conditioning unit.
No worries, that’s why we’re here to help. This article will go into a few different factors that you should know about if you’re planning on purchasing a new air conditioner or if you want to maintain your current one.
Installation: Getting It Right From The Start
The first step to enjoying lovely cooled air or comforting warm air in your home or business is installing a quality air conditioner. Here are a few things to think about when having yours installed:
Choose The Right System. Naturally, you’ll need a suitable unit for your situation, so you’ll need to understand your needs. Search for an air conditioner that’s a proper size for your property, has a price that fits your budget, meets your energy efficiency needs and so on.
If you’re unsure how to determine what kind of system would be best for your space, you can ask your air conditioning technicians for assistance. For instance, our friendly team at Affordable Energy Solutions would be happy to help you. We’ll use the information you provide to point you towards an ideal choice, such as one of our many specials.
Ensure Proper Placement. Your unit’s placement will significantly impact its performance and its effectiveness for your property. Indoor units should be positioned in areas that can provide optimal airflow without obstructions, and outdoor units need to be placed in shaded, well-ventilated areas to prevent overheating.
Go For Professional Installation. When installing your new system, always opt for professional installation. Doing so will make sure the job is done correctly, keeping your wonderful new system in good condition and allowing it to function as it should.
Maintenance: Keeping Your System In Top-Notch Shape
Once your air conditioner is installed in your Auckland home or business, your work doesn’t end there – routine maintenance will keep your unit in good shape, preventing frustrating issues and breakdowns.
Regular Cleaning. Clean your air conditioner regularly as part of your maintenance routine. Dust and other particles can settle in your system, reducing its efficiency. Cleaning or replacing its filters every one to three months is a good idea to keep it running well.
If you’re unsure how to do this, speak to your air conditioner technician about how you should clean your system properly. If you’re not comfortable performing these tasks yourself, you can discuss maintenance services with them so that they can do the job for you.
Address Issues Promptly. If you ever notice anything unusual with your air conditioner, such as leaks, strange noises or other troublesome issues, it’s best to contact a professional to look into the matter sooner rather than later. Keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary whenever you visually inspect or clean your system.
Have It Serviced Annually. Having your air conditioner serviced annually by qualified professionals will help it stay in great condition for years. Annual servicing is important to schedule, even if your unit seems to be doing fine. There could be issues that you haven’t noticed yourself, and they could get worse over time if they’re not detected and fixed by a professional.
Selecting Your Auckland Air Conditioning Experts
As you can see, working with the right air conditioning technicians is necessary if you want the most out of your system. How do you choose yours?
Pay Attention To Reputation And Reviews. Even if a company’s services and products seem perfect for you, always look at their reviews before you work with them. Testimonials can give you great insight into their reputation and how well they work with their clients.
Checking a company’s reputation is easy, and it only takes a minute or two – just perform a Google search for their company and look at their Google Business Profile that appears alongside the search results. Here, you can read through reviews and check their star rating. If you do end up working with them and like what they do, you can even leave a happy review yourself to help out future potential clients.
Search For Appropriate Services And Products. Of course, even if a company is a pleasure to work with, they won’t be very helpful if they can’t provide you with what you need. Look at their services and products to see if they’re a good match for you.
Transparent Pricing. Avoid companies that are dodgy about their prices, as this could be a sign that they’ll charge you more than you expect or that they have hidden fees. If you ask them about their prices, they should be honest so you can make an informed decision.
