Most air conditioning units last between 10 to 20 years with regular maintenance. However, the lifespan can vary based on the brand, model, and usage patterns.

It's advisable to have your AC system serviced according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always consult your manual for suggested service schedules.  We suggest a professional clean once a year, preferably before summer. Regular servicing helps in maintaining efficiency and prolonging the life of the unit. If you notice water leaks, the performance declines, or any unusual noise please contact us for a service.

Simple steps like setting a higher thermostat temperature when you’re not home, using ceiling fans, and keeping curtains closed can help. Additionally, regular maintenance ensures the system operates efficiently. If you allow the filters to become clogged with dust, the system has to work harder, which increases power consumption - and your bills! Consider a new system if you're running an older, less energy-efficient system.

The size of the AC unit you need depends on the area of space you wish to air condition and the number of 'zones', ceiling height, insulation, your suburb (Thirlmere will be much colder in Winter than Narellan for example) and other factors. It's essential to have a professional assess your space to recommend the correct size.
