AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE

Air Conditioning Servicing

Evaporative: Evaporative air conditioning works great here in Western Australia, it is a reliable, cost effective way of keeping your home cool during the long hot summer months. However, it is essential to keep the system clean and well maintained to ensure that it continues to work efficiently when it is needed the most.

Wall Mounted Split: Wall mounted split air conditioning systems (reverse cycle), deliver cooling or heating on demand. With small units available for use in bedrooms, to large units for use in open plan living/family areas. These units can be used individually and are one of the most effective and efficient ways to keep your home cool in summer and warm during the winter.

Ducted Reverse Cycle: It is advisable that these systems are serviced once a year to ensure that they continue to run at their maximum efficiency. As losing air in the roof space or a lack of conditioning refrigerant could cause the system to run too long and too hard, using unnecessary energy.
