Why Do You Need To Service Your Air Conditioner Regularly

Cool Times Air Conditioning has built a reputation over the years for servicing and maintaining air conditioning systems to the highest standard. With long term service contracts in place with numerous clients and businesses we have proven that we are the right company for the job. An example of this is Blue Care Nursing. After many years of dedicated service we have now been appointed the Southern Region preferred contractor looking after over 20 different sites from Brisbane down to Tweed Heads. Our success in service is by identifying the specific regions of the system that need the extra attention.

One of the key components in your system is the cooling coil. All air flowing into the room being air conditioned must flow through the coiling coil, this includes all smoke, dust, allergens and contaminates.

The other area of concern is condensate drains and drip trays. If water can not get away it will pool and become a breeding ground for bacteria.

Water sitting in drip trays can be picked up by the fan and dispersed as tiny droplets throughout the room without you even knowing.

Here are some brief points to note.

Important Points:

• Your average air conditioning cooling coil, if operating 10 hours a day, would see up to 100 000 meters of air pass over and through the cooling coil in one day.
• The cooling coil is wet 90% of the time when operating. This type of environment encourages bacteria growth and if not maintained could prove detrimental to any home or office environment.
• The filters provided with your air conditioner can only contain so much in regards to dust and particles, regular cleaning of the filter is essential but the next level of servicing which includes chemical cleaning of the cooling coil is the only way to ensure your system is clean and free of contaminates.
• Stagnant water through blocked drains or ill maintained drip trays is the single biggest contributor to sick building syndrome and increased family illness.
• Overflowing drains and drip trays can cause considerable damage to ceilings, walls and floors if not maintained.

When to Clean

• Good cleaning procedures start from day one. Always ensure your filter is clean and clear of contaminates.
• Numerous factors need to be considered when considering servicing and cleaning intervals. How long the system runs each day, what type of environment it is in and how many people work or live in the air conditioned space.

Advantages

• A dirty system greatly reduces the ability of your air conditioner to run efficiently. If air can not move through the cooling coil, your system has to run longer and harder to achieve the desired results.
• A cleaned and serviced air conditioner runs efficiently, lasts longer and is quieter.

Your Air Conditioner is part of your day to day living space, the rooms in your house or office will be vacuumed, mopped and cleaned more than once a year so why should your air conditioner be any different.
