Regular maintenance and cleaning services are vital for ensuring the longevity of your air conditioning system.

Having your AC system cleaned regularly prevents the coils and filters from becoming clogged with dirt and debris which can cause your AC system to overwork. The build-up of dirt and debris in your unit can also lead to malfunctioning, so regular maintenance will be valuable for detecting any faults within your system which can be efficiently repaired.

Long-standing faults within an AC system can lead to expensive damage, so it's best to avoid this at all costs with regular maintenance.

When it comes to using your AC system every day, it is important to do this correctly to maximise its working potential. We would highly recommend that if you plan to use your AC system every day, it should be set to come on early in the morning.

By setting your AC to start in the morning, your unit will not have to work as hard to regulate the increasing temperatures throughout the day. This trick also assists in reducing the cost of your AC system as it isn't overworking to combat the hotter temperatures that arise as the day goes on.

There are temperatures that you are recommended to stick to across the Queensland area.

For example, during the winter months, your AC system's thermometer should be set to 24 degrees Celsius and during summer, the thermometer should be set to 20 degrees Celsius (this is based on average temperatures in this area throughout the year).

Much like our last tip, this one stops your AC system from overworking in order to regulate the temperature, which increases its longevity and performance.

There are a few steps you can take around your home to ensure the high performance of your air conditioning system.

For example, ensure that when your AC is on, you close all doors and windows to prevent the cool air from escaping and being wasted. You should also ensure that there are no leaks in the rest of your home that may decrease the efficiency of your AC system - this can include leaks in the attic or roof, leaks around the edges of your windows and under your doors.

By eradicating these leaks, you will be helping to improve the efficiency of your AC system.

We hope that the above tips and tricks have helped you understand how to make the most out of your air conditioner and to maximise its performance.
