Get a Jump Start With an Air Conditioning Service

Research has shown that heating and cooling accounts for the largest proportion of energy bills, so many homeowners are continually looking to save energy. While the concept of spending money, when you’re trying to save money may seem counterproductive, it is money well spent when it comes to an air conditioning service. So, here we’ll explore how you can get a jump start on your home efficiency with your ActronAir air conditioning service.

Get Ready for the Heavy Use Season

Many homeowners have experienced the anticipation of switching on the air conditioning on the first warm day and just hoping it will work correctly. After months of little or no use, it is no wonder that air conditioning systems may struggle to jump straight into continuous use. So, it is a good idea to get ready for the heavy use season and the demands of the hot, summer days and nights.

Ideally, you have an air conditioning service arranged for spring, before the weather starts to really heat up. This will allow the technician to check your system and ensure that any winter debris that could affect performance can be cleared away.

The Benefits of A Regular Air Conditioning Service Schedule

Being proactive with your air conditioning maintenance and servicing will certainly pay you back dividends. There are a number of benefits associated with regular servicing including:

Improving Efficiency: A professional service involves cleaning, testing and adjusting your whole system. All air conditioner equipment lose efficiency over the year and without maintenance efficiency can drop far faster. A regular service is a key element to controlling your energy bills, and it will also help to cool your home faster.

Avoid Emergency Call Outs: A service also provides the opportunity for preventative maintenance, which can eliminate unexpected system breakdowns. Your technician can correct any minor issues before they can develop into a major fault, so you can avoid those hefty call out fees.

Improve Equipment Lifespan: If you want to get the most out of your equipment, you need to ensure that it receives regular servicing. Annual maintenance has been shown to improve equipment lifespan, so you can enjoy optimum efficiency for more years than average. This could potentially save you thousands over the years you own your equipment.

Accurately Plan for an Upgrade: No equipment can last forever, and when yours receives regular air conditioning repairs, your technician will be able to discuss when it is the best time to upgrade. As your equipment ages, it will start to lose efficiency and start to suffer more repair issues, but your trusted technician can help you plan years ahead, so you can take advantage of sales and promotions.

Is Heat Trapped in Your Home? Aircon Service Advice

When you get a regular aircon service for your home, you can be assured that any minor issues will be detected before they can develop into larger problems. This is essential to keep your air conditioning working effectively and efficiently throughout the year. A well maintained aircon system will be less likely to break down when you need it most, and your energy bills will be reduced. However, many Australian homes are not really designed to resist hot days and heat can be trapped in your home. Let’s take a closer look at this issue and examine some ways to deal with this problem.

The Problem with Australian Home Design

An air conditioning service will keep your HVAC equipment working well, but many home designers rely too much on air conditioning to keep their home designs cool. Despite many homes needing to endure summer daytime temperatures in excess of 35ºC, the overall design ethos isn’t geared towards dealing with this heat in a passive way. Many home experts are calling for the Building Code of Australia to be revised with new design codes designed to include better layouts to deal with temperature extremes.

Dr. Gertrud Hatvani-Kovacs is a research associate at the University of South Australia. Dr. Hatvani-Kovacs has authored a paper titled “Heat stress resistant building design in the Australian context,” which says that the current energy efficient Australian home designs do not increase heat stress resistance.

Dr. Hatvani-Kovacs stated that “The real concern with newly-built buildings is that are compliant with the building code, they might be over-insulated and have very high airtightness,” she then added, “but at the same time they lack natural ventilation and have a lack of shading devices.”

Dr. Gertrud Hatvani-Kovacs believes that insulation is one of the most significant issues, she said: “They (homes) behave like plastic bags and do not let the building cool down, so their energy efficiency can be very counterproductive.”

Using Evaporative Cooling

Evaporative air conditioning is an ideal way to deal with the hot conditions caused by poor building designs that are not sufficient to deal with extreme heat. Dr. Gertrud Hatvani-Kovacs said that evaporative cooling measures are preferable to a reverse cycle air conditioning system. This will provide naturally cooled air that’s moist enough to avoid drying out the skin and eyes of people in the home. Ideally, this would be combined with some external shading to keep the heat out of the home in the first place.

4 Tips to Keep Your Home Cooler on Hot Days

Install an evaporative air conditioning system in your home.

Remove rugs and carpets on concrete flooring to allow heat to dissipate in the ground.

Keep your curtains and shades drawn during the day to keep the hot sunshine out of the home.

Hang wet blankets over any open windows during the night.

Deal with Frozen Pipes with an Air Conditioning Service

A regular air conditioning service is essential to keep your AC system effective and energy efficient. An AC system is a complex piece of equipment that’s built with mechanical, electrical and electronic components. All of these components need to work in harmony and when one part fails the whole system will not work as intended. One of the most common reported air conditioner faults is frozen pipes. In this article, we will look at this phenomena in further detail so that you can take the appropriate action.

Troubleshoot Your AC System

Any AC system can encounter problems occasionally and troubleshooting the system is a great way to narrow down the exact cause. Even a brand new system may have issues because of a knock during insulation or a disconnected duct or pipe that’s become loose. In many cases, you may never know the exact reason why the fault has occurred, but you could identify what is wrong and then take steps to fix the problem.

Why are the Pipes in My AC System Frozen?

This is actually a common issue, but it can remain undetected if you don’t know what you need to look out for. If you have a new AC system, you should be getting fresh, crisp cold air from your registers. If the air is only cool or even warm, then you may have a problem, and more investigation is required. This equally applicable if you have an older system that was previously generating plenty of cold air. If the AC system has been working for an hour and the air is not adequately treated; it’s time to take a closer look at the system.

Check the External Compressor Unit

Go to the external compressor unit and open up the cover to take a look inside. There are typically a few screws to remove, and you need to keep these safe. Inside the compressor, you may notice that the pipes are covered with ice and frozen. This is a sure sign that there is a gas or pressure leak located somewhere in your pipes or ducts. This is not an issue that you can fix without professional HVAC training.

Getting the Problem Fixed

If the AC system was installed recently, you should contact the installer and inform them about the problem. They should arrive with the appropriate equipment to detect where the gas leak is located, and then they can fix it. It’s important to bear in mind that the leak could be anywhere in the system and it may take some time to find it. If the leak cannot be located, it will be necessary to run a new set of pipes or change the compressor. This will usually fix the problem quickly, and sometimes the compressor can be fixed if it’s economically viable to do so.

If they need their air conditioner servicing Perth homeowners and business managers should get in touch with Air Spares for expert local help.

Troubleshooting During an Air Conditioning Service: Perth Expert Advice

When you get an air conditioning service, it’s essential to hire an HVAC professional. They will be able to use their considerable experience to troubleshoot your AC system quickly and get to the root cause of the problem. Some home tasks can be handled by a DIY enthusiast with a passion for learning, but an aircon service is not that sort of job. However, there are a few things that you can look out for that will let you know that you need to contact a professional and one of these is frozen pipes.

The Cost of Callouts

Troubleshoot an AC system can be a very time consuming task if you don’t have any formal training or experience to fall back on. Every callout will cost more money, and this can really add up over a couple of days until you find the problem. When you get a new AC system installed the responsibility to get the issue fixed fall on the HVAC company that installed the system until the problem is solved and the AC system is working correctly. However, in both cases, there is a great deal of disruption to your home cooling and the routine in your home when an AC technician is on site working.

AC System Installation

When you hire an HVAC professional, a typical AC installation will usually go smoothly. This is especially true if the HVAC company has been involved at an early stage and advice has been sought on the size and configuration of the AC system. Once the system is in place, you should have clean, cool and crisp air delivered precisely where you want it. When you first use the new AC system allow around 4-5 hours for the home to reach the indoor temperature that you need. This time period can vary depending on the ambient temperature outside and the starting temperature indoors. The best way to use your AC system is to set a temperature 14-15º less than the temperature outside. However, this ideal is not always the case, and problems can occur on a new AC system installation.

Why the Problem?

An AC system is a complex piece of equipment with electrical, electronic and mechanical components. Some of these parts move, and it’s quite easy to knock a duct or pipe during the installation process. Problems can also occur if you’ve chosen to use a handyman rather than an HVAC professional to install your expensive AC equipment. The most common issue by far is that the AC system is blowing cool or even warm air rather than the cold air that you want.

Check the External Compressor

Open the cover on your external compressor and take a look at the pipes. If they are frozen or covered with ice, there is a gas or pressure leak in your pipes or ducts. Contact your HVAC professional, and they will be able to find the leak and fix it for you. If they are looking for a comprehensive air conditioning service Perth homeowners should get in touch with Air Spares for expert help and advice.

The 2019 Nissan Qashqai Gets Infotainment Support in Europe

The new Nissan Qashqai has a brand new infotainment system with smartphone mirroring and superb turbocharged petrol engine to enjoy. The new Qashqai range has been significantly upgraded in many areas, and there is now support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay devices. Sadly, this particular feature is only available in Europe at the time of this article. Let’s take a closer at what the latest Nissan Qashqai has to offer the discerning Australian car buyer.

A Brief Overview

The new 2019 Nissan Qashqai range will be defined in large part by the significant upgrades that have been made to the specification. Chief amongst these in the new infotainment system and the all new turbocharged engine. Nissan released some tantalising details about this new 1.3L turbocharged powerplant a short time ago. Now we have solid information about both the engine and the new infotainment screen.

The New Infotainment System

The new infotainment system is now called “Nissan Connect,” and it’s an all new system designed to bring Nissan into line with other car manufacturers. For the very first time, we have full smartphone mirroring technology and support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay devices. This has been a requested feature for quite some time, and it’s great that Nissan is responding to customer input. The Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support is now included as a standard feature on all European Qashqai models except for the entry level “Visia.”

Some other interesting infotainment upgrades, include an over the air (OTA) mapping system, Tomtom Premium real time traffic updates, a new navigation app and a host of software updates. The focus has been on improving the integrations between the driver's mobile devices and the infotainment unit. This should improve many aspects of the Nissan Qashqai driving experience and bring the brand into line with other car makers.

As part of these infotainment upgrades, a new driver display has been added. This is located between the dials, and it has been completely redesigned to display even more information. In practice, this new display will be extremely useful for displaying phone call information and for receiving text messages on the go. The new display is also handy for the turn by turn route guidance system.

Australian Availability

According to Nissan Australia sources, there are no plans at this time to introduce the 2019 Nissan Qashqai to the Australian market. The specifications outlined above are only currently available on the European specification models. Of course, this could change in the future, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support should hopefully be coming here soon. There will be a retrofitting program available to

Three Signs to Help You Decide On a Replacement Over an Air Conditioning Repair

If they are looking for an air conditioning repair, Perth based homeowners and business

When they think about air con repairs, Perth based residents and business owners may think that any system can be fixed. This is a fallacy to a certain extent, there comes a time when any complex system can be fixed, but it’s probably not the best choice for a number of reasons. Eventually, even a well maintained system will start to show its age, and a replacement would be a far better option over soldiering on for another year. Let’s take a closer look at this issue in more detail so that you can make a more informed choice.

1. Inconsistent Performance

One of the most common early signs of a gradually failing AC system is an inconsistency in performance. Many homeowners notice that the unit is blowing hot or cold and that the temperature is inconsistent to the desired settings. The air levels may be adequate, but the heating or cooling is simply not matching up to the temperature set on the thermostat. The user may even experience warm air generated on a cool setting and vice versa for heating needs. This is a good indicator that the compressor is damaged and this is one of the most expensive parts to repair on an AC system. Unless the system is very new and still under warranty it may be necessary to replace the compressor entirely.

2. A Decreased Air Flow

Some users may notice that there is little to no air coming from their vents when they need heating or cooling performance. This is also an indicator that there could be an issue with the system's compressor, but there could be other reasons. It’s always a good idea to check the air filter; first, it can become blocked if it isn’t cleaned regularly and this can impede the air flow significantly. Another thing to check is the ducts and vents for any blockages that could be affecting the air flow. If you’re in any doubt about how to proceed, call on Air Spares for some expert advice.

3. Strange Behaviour

An air conditioning system that’s working well should be virtually silent in operation, and there should be no unusual odours to worry about. If you start to hear strange noises, this could be a sign that a part has come loose and a repair or replacement is needed. An AC system has moving parts that can vibrate loose, or the internal mechanism could become clogged up with dirt or debris. Also, if you notice any odd odours, this could indicate that a duct has become mouldy and this foul air is being circulated through your home. Many of these issues can be repaired, but in an extreme case, a replacement will be simpler and more economically viable for most homeowners.
