Whether you need a new air-conditioner for a small home, or a complex upgrade for a large commercial split system heating, our expert heating and cooling engineers have got you covered.

Melbourne – climate with moderate heating and cooling needs; split systems and heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to Ducted Heating, and Space Heating. Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house, and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances. Typically a heat pump can save the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in summer months.

Break downs and Common Problems with Air Conditioners

The most common problem with the Split System Air Conditioning is improper operation. In operation setting, the temperature is important, and it should be set to 22 degree to 25 degree. Make sure to close your home's windows and outside doors, and isolate the room or a group of connected rooms.

Other common problems are faulty installation, poor service procedures, and inadequate ac maintenance. Improper installation of a Central Air Conditioner can result in leaky ducts and low airflow. The refrigerant charge is important if the charge does not match the manufacturer's specifications the performance and efficiency of the unit is impaired.

Unqualified service technicians often fail to find refrigerant charging problems; sometime, even worsen the existing problems by adding refrigerant to a system that is already full. Air Conditioner manufacturers generally make rugged, high quality products. If your air conditioner fails, begin by checking any fuses or circuit breakers. Compressor stops on a hot day, the high-pressure limit switch may have tripped - reset it by pushing the reset button.

Other common reasons for air conditioner failures:

Refrigerant Leaks

It's important to know why an Air Conditioner is low on refrigerant; could be either it was undercharged at installation or gas leaked out. If it leaked, simply adding refrigerant is not a solution or not legal. Our trained technicians take a procedure to leak detection method, fix any leak, test the repair, and then charge the system with a correct amount of refrigerant. Remember that the performance and efficiency of your Air Conditioner is greatest when the refrigerant charge exactly matches the manufacturer's specification.

Inadequate Maintenance or not Maintain

Periodic maintenance is required for proper running of the air conditioner, if filters and air conditioning coils become dirty, the air conditioner will not work properly; consequently, the compressor or fans could fail prematurely.

Electrical Failure

Corrosion of wire and terminals is also a problem in many systems, electrical connections and contacts should be checked during a professional service call.

Sensor positioning

The positioning of the sensor is important, it should be near the coil but not touching it; adjust its position by carefully bending the wire that holds it in place. If the sensor is knocked out of position, the air conditioner could cycle constantly or behave erratically.

Condensate Drainage Problems

We check the condensate drain to make sure it isn't clogged and is draining properly. Room Air Conditioners may not drain properly if not mounted level.

What we do in our Service

Our experienced staff will service your heat pump at least every year. The technician can do the following:

Inspect duct works, filters, blower, and indoor coil/ outdoor coil for dirt and other obstructions, diagnose and seal duct leakage.
Use an air flow meter to ensure adequate airflow by measurement.
Check if Refrigerant charges are correct; refrigerant charge by measurement.
Check for leak detection refrigerant leaks.
Inspect electric terminals, and, if necessary, clean and tighten connections.
Megger motors, and inspect belts for tightness and wear.
Ensure correct thermostat setting and operation.
A Split System has two main components -- an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain, links the outdoor and indoor units. We make sure everything is in working condition.
