Common AC Problems & Solutions

Recognizing problems early can save you money and prevent system failure

System Not Cooling

If your AC is running but not cooling effectively, the issue could be a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, blocked outdoor unit, or faulty compressor. Start by checking and cleaning your filters, then ensure the outdoor unit has clear airflow. If problems persist, refrigerant levels may need checking by a licensed technician.

Water Leaking Inside

Indoor water leaks typically indicate a blocked condensate drain line, often caused by algae growth or debris buildup. In East Gippsland's humid coastal climate, this is particularly common. The drain pan may also be cracked or rusted. Regular servicing prevents this issue, but if you notice leaking, turn off the system and call for immediate service to prevent water damage.

24/7 emergency service available

Strange Noises

Unusual sounds like grinding, squealing, or rattling shouldn't be ignored. Grinding often indicates bearing problems, squealing suggests belt issues, rattling may mean loose components or debris in the unit. In coastal areas, salt corrosion can cause premature component wear. Strange noises typically worsen over time and can lead to complete system failure if left unaddressed.

Early repair saves money

High Energy Bills

A sudden spike in electricity costs often indicates your AC is working harder than it should. Common causes include dirty filters restricting airflow, low refrigerant forcing the compressor to run longer, aging components losing efficiency, or an incorrectly sized system. Annual servicing and timely repairs maintain optimal efficiency. In extreme cases, replacing an old inefficient unit can pay for itself through energy savings.

Maximize Energy Efficiency

Smart usage tips to reduce running costs and environmental impact

Optimal Temperature Settings

Set your thermostat to 24-26°C in summer and 18-20°C in winter for comfort and efficiency. Each degree cooler in summer or warmer in winter increases energy consumption by approximately 10%. Use sleep mode at night to save energy while maintaining comfort.

Insulation & Sealing

Proper home insulation dramatically improves AC efficiency. Seal gaps around doors and windows, use curtains or blinds to block afternoon sun, and ensure your home's insulation is adequate. In East Gippsland's climate, good insulation helps in both summer and winter, reducing your system's workload year-round.

Smart Timing & Zones

Only cool or heat rooms you're using. With ducted systems, use zoning to target specific areas. Program your system to start just before you arrive home rather than running all day. Consider off-peak electricity plans and run your system during cheaper rate periods when possible to maximize savings.

Maintenance Best Practices

Keep your system running smoothly with regular care and professional servicing

DIYWhat You Can Do

  • Clean or Replace Filters Monthly

    Dirty filters reduce efficiency by up to 15% and strain your system. Check monthly and clean or replace as needed.

  • Keep Outdoor Unit Clear

    Ensure 50cm clearance around your outdoor unit. Remove leaves, grass clippings, and debris regularly.

  • Check for Ice Buildup

    Ice on indoor or outdoor coils indicates a problem. Turn off the system and call for professional service.

  • Monitor Performance

    Notice changes in cooling performance, unusual noises, or higher energy bills. Early detection prevents major repairs.

Annual Service Recommendation

Schedule professional servicing before each cooling season to ensure peak performance, prevent breakdowns, and maintain warranty validity. In coastal areas, consider twice-yearly servicing due to salt exposure.

East Gippsland Climate Expertise

Our region's unique climate demands specialised knowledge and equipment

Coastal Conditions

Lakes Entrance, Paynesville, and coastal areas face high humidity and salt air that corrodes standard components. We recommend Panasonic systems with corrosion-resistant coatings and nanoe X technology, which actively helps manage humidity while purifying the air. The nanoe X technology is particularly effective in coastal environments, inhibiting mould growth and eliminating odours caused by salt exposure and high moisture levels.

Alpine Extremes

Omeo and alpine regions experience harsh winters down to -10°C. Standard heat pumps lose efficiency below 0°C. We specify systems with low-temperature heating capability and enhanced defrost cycles to ensure reliable heating performance even in extreme cold conditions common to mountain areas.

Summer Heat

Bairnsdale and inland areas regularly exceed 40°C in summer, pushing air conditioners to their limits. Proper sizing is critical—undersized units will run constantly and fail prematurely. We calculate loads based on East Gippsland's actual temperature data to ensure your system handles our hottest days.
