- Most split systems are also single head units, meaning that each condenser produces an airflow for just one evaporator unit. This means that each room must have its own air conditioner. However, it is possible to connect a second evaporator and even a third, but it increases the condenser unit's size and capacity with some systems. It’s advisable to discuss this possibility with the installation technician.
- Most quality AC units are capable of also heating the air. This is referred to as a reverse cycle air conditioner. The benefit is that the AC is usable in the winter to provide comfortable warmth in the house or office instead of using those power-hungry convection heaters. Talk to us about reverse cycle air conditioning installation in Perth.
- Like all good AC installers, we prefer a specific manufacturer for new AC installations. In our case, it’s the quality of Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI) air conditioners. We have found that these units offer the best overall value to residential and commercial owners because they are exceedingly durable, easy to install and maintain, and power-efficient.
- We are also amicable to installing an AC unit that you’ve already bought but stipulate that this client-supplied air conditioner must be brand new and pre-charged with refrigerant. This arrangement has the benefit of choosing your preferred brand if you haven’t yet experienced what a delight it is to own an MHI split system air conditioner.
- We also install and configure the convenient MHI Wi-Fi controller along with your new MHI reverse cycle air conditioner installation in Perth. This controller allows you to set the various options of the AC using an app on your smartphone and through complete smart home integration. The app also provides status messages and error codes.
- Replacing an ageing AC system with a new one is always a good option. The design life of air conditioners is about fifteen to twenty years, after which components will require frequent repair and replacing. It is sound economy to replace such a unit with the latest offering from a reputable manufacturer. You not only save on parts and repair, but newer units are also more energy-efficient and use less electricity for the same cooling capacity.
- It is sometimes also desirable to remove an installed AC system from the premises entirely, perhaps because it’s in the way of renovations or you wish to switch to ceiling fans instead. It now becomes necessary that the electrician removes the air conditioner and also performs the required decommissioning procedures to prevent contamination of the environment with the cooling gasses.
- Air filters. The filters that remove most of the dust, dander and pollen from the air must be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s schedule. Failure to perform this duty timeously will often result in insufficient airflow, high electricity usage and even illnesses. It is a simple task to perform and should not be neglected for want of a few minutes of your time.
- Condenser coils. The coils change the air’s temperature before being pumped into the room. They must be cleaned at least once a year. This prevents the build-up of dust and grime, which negatively impacts the dissipation of heat from the coils.
- Fans and air intakes. Regular inspection of the airflow of the outside unit is necessary to ensure a free flow. Common culprits are grass cuttings, leaves and someone stacking planks against the AC unit. Similarly, the fans must be kept clean and inspected for damaged blades.
