Electrical Air Conditioning Services

Electrical air conditioning systems can be complicated beasts. From split systems to ducted cooling, any number of things could go wrong. And the average homeowner may not have any idea where to look for faults!

Efficient air conditioning is incredibly important to maintaining a cool home. Blocked filters, damaged coils or leaking pipes force your cooling to work harder than it needs to. Or it might not work at all.

So how exactly do you achieve a cool home and a tip top air conditioner? With regular servicing. This prevents minor faults from evolving into major malfunctions when summer hits. Get in early with a spring service and your home will be chilled all summer long.

FAQs – All You Need to Know About Electrical Air Conditioning

We've got the answers to everything you've ever wondered about electrical air conditioning.

Does air conditioning help manage allergies?

Your air conditioner could greatly help with your allergies as they filter out dust and debris in the air.

Air conditioners also help to regulate the humidity in your room. When the humidity is too high, it provides the perfect environment for bacteria, mould and mildew to grow.

However, it is important to maintain the following:

Annual cleaning and servicing
Change or clean your air filters regularly
Clean debris around both the outside and inside units
Keep windows and doors shut when the air conditioner is on

Why is my air conditioner blowing hot air?

The most common reasons your aircon is blowing hot air are:

Incorrectly set thermostat
Restriction of airflow – the air filters haven’t been replaced or the coils are dirty
The outdoor unit isn’t getting any power
Refrigerant levels are low

Many of these problems are a problem that should be left for a qualified electrician. Ensuring you have your electrical air conditioner serviced regularly means you’re likely to escape the problem of your AC blowing hot air on a summer’s day.

What air conditioner is the best?

When looking at what air conditioner is best for your home, there are many factors to consider. There are split systems, multi-split systems, ducted air conditioners, wall/window air cons, portable ACs and many more.

When looking at what air conditioner you need, you’ll want to consider:

Size and dimension of the room
The type of room
Size and orientation of windows and glass doors
Shading and curtains
Insulation
Local climate

With all of these factors to consider, it’s easier to discuss your options with a qualified electrician. Speak with an electrician from Metropolitan Electrical Contractors to help decide what air conditioner will best meet your family’s needs.

Are air conditioners noisy?

A little noise when you first turn your air conditioner on is completely normal, as is some noise from older units. If your air conditioner is completely silent, that probably means it isn’t turned on!

That said, your air conditioner might be making odd noises because it is in need of a service and something has gone wrong:

Rattling – loose fan, blade is bent or problem with the ductwork.
Excessive humming – poorly cleaned unit, bent coil fans, inadequate lubrication or failing starting capacitor.
Squeaking – air conditioner is clogged with dirt and debris, the fan motor is inadequately lubricated.
Grinding – dual shaft motors has broken down and needs replacing urgently or failed fan motor bearing.
Repeated clicking and popping – relay needs replacing, failing thermostat/control system or ductwork is old.
Squealing/screaming – motor belt is slipping/has slipped, condenser bearing is worn down or failing compressor.
Buzzing/cracking – arcing electricity, failing compressor or refrigerant leak.
Hissing – return air leak or a refrigerant leak.
