Fed up with the heat? If you wish to install an air-conditioner, or repair an existing air-conditioner, we suggest hiring a professional to help you. There are many cooling systems to choose from. There are two main reasons why people require professional air-conditioner experts:

  • Air-Conditioner Installations
  • Air-Conditioner Repairs

Air-Conditioning regulates the temperature and humidity of indoor areas. This allows you to stay comfortable throughout the year. In many areas of Australia, the summer months can get very hot; heat exhaustion can be very damaging to your health. Staying cool and finding shelter from the heat is essential for you to enjoy your day. This is why many Australians opt for air-conditioning to keep their homes cool and comfortable.

Reverse-cycle air-conditioners provide both heating and cooling to regulate the indoor temperature. There are also Cooling only and Heating only air conditioners (although in Australia Heating only air-conditioners are unusual).

Installing a new air-conditioner?
With so many different types of air-conditioning available, it is good to consider the following points:

  • How large is your home? / How many rooms do you want to cool? For smaller apartments, a single air-conditioning unit may suffice, whereas with a larger home that requires more rooms, a ducted or split air-conditioning system may be more suitable.
  • It is best to look at different models so that you have a good idea of what you are looking for.
  • Is it energy efficient? Check to see the efficiency rating for the unit you are considering. This can save you money in the long run, as an efficient system can cost less to run.

How air-conditioning Works:
The best way to choose an air-conditioning system, and keep your air-conditioning system functioning correctly, is to understand the basic elements of how an air-conditioner works.

An air-conditioner uses the heat exchange properties of condensation and evaporation.

The Refrigeration Cycle:

  1. condensing coil
  2. expansion valve
  3. evaporator coil
  4. compressor

Evaporation is the process where a liquid turns to gas through heat absorption.
Condensation is when a gas turns back to a liquid form, when heat is released.

Air-conditioners are designed to use a compressor to create pressure changes between two compartments of the air-conditioner. This would cause the evaporation and condensation that is needed to pump a refrigerant around.

A refrigerant liquid is pumped into the cool compartment (the evaporator coil). The low pressure in this compartment causes the refrigerant to evaporate into a vapour, which takes the heat with it. In the second compartment (the condenser), the refrigerant vapour is compressed and pumped through another heat exchange coil, which condenses it back to a liquid form and releases the heat previously absorbed from the initial compartment. When this process is repeated, it can actively change the temperature of a room. By extracting the heat from one side of the unit to the other side, the initial side is cooled as the energy is extracted from that side.

Many air-conditioners use halogenated chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) as a refrigerant. This substance is also known as Freon. CFCs are used as the heat exchange properties are very good during the condensation and evaporation process. As CFCs are associated with ozone loss, Australia has specific laws to help protect the environment and minimize further damage, so there are strict regulations for the emissions of CFCs by air-conditioning units.
