The Do’s and Don’ts of Air Conditioning in Maitland

Are you considering air conditioning in Maitland? Then you need 7E Integrated Services, where we specialise in cooling systems. Having an air conditioner provides many benefits, including making your home more comfortable during the heat of the summer, but it also helps protect your health.

Your air conditioner reduces the risk of heat related illnesses and can help you control respiratory issues. Use this handy list of do’s and don’ts to help you get the most out of your air conditioner. 

Do Follow Maintenance Recommendations

Taking good care of your air conditioner prolongs its lifespan, but also ensures that it always works properly. Make sure you understand the manufacturer recommendations so you can keep up with the maintenance guidelines. You should also inspect your air conditioner regularly, change the filter and get it ready for each season. Call us if you need help with this.

Do Check the Temperature

It might be tempting to keep your air conditioner’s thermometer set quite low. However, this can really impact your energy bills, making it quite costly to run your cooling system. A few degrees likely won’t cause a noticeable difference inside your home but can help you control the cost of running your air conditioner. Aiming for 23 degrees is the general recommendation when you set your thermostat. 

Don’t Forget to Clean It

This is especially important near your outdoor unit. Keeping it clean enhances its function and keeps it from wearing out sooner than it should. Clear away dirt, leaves, and other debris and wash the components regularly, according to manufacturer directions. Your goal is to make sure airflow is adequate and that nothing is blocking it. Our technicians can offer you additional advice and can service your unit as well. 

Don’t Block the Vents

The air vent placement on your air conditioner is important because it’s what ensures that you’re getting proper airflow where you need it. Most vents can be angled as needed, but you want to make sure they aren’t blocked by other items in the room. Make sure curtains, furniture, and other items are not against the vents, which will block airflow and make it difficult to keep your home cool. If you have a split system, close vents in rooms you don’t need to cool so that you can save money and optimise airflow elsewhere.
