Is Your Air Conditioner Doing Its Job This Winter?
In South East Queensland, reverse cycle air conditioners are the winter champion keeping homes warm when the chill sets in. But if yours is blowing lukewarm air, taking ages to heat a room, or running up your power bill, it could be struggling behind the scenes.
Before you give up on your unit (or pile on another jumper), here’s how to make sure your A/C is ready to perform this winter and into spring.
Signs Your A/C Heating Needs Attention
Air feels cool instead of warm
Check your settings, but if it’s still underwhelming, it may be low refrigerant, a blocked filter, or a reversing valve issue.
Room takes forever to warm up
Dusty filters and clogged coils force the system to work harder for longer wasting energy.
Rising power bills
An inefficient unit uses more electricity than it should. If bills are creeping up, your air con may be the culprit.
Strange smells or sounds
A musty smell could mean mould. Rattling or buzzing might signal loose or worn-out components.
