Posted on by

Every year energy bills seem to go up and saving money seems harder and harder. That’s why it is important to try to keep recurrent bills such as energy bills down, and even though this might be hard to do, it is not impossible. In today’s blog post we are going to explore 10 ways to increase your air conditioning efficiency and therefore lower your energy bills.

Here at H&H Air Conditioning we are always trying to help our customers across Brisbane and surrounding areas keep their air cons in optimal conditions.

Have your air con serviced

An air conditioning expert should check your refrigerant level, check the airflow, and clean the coils to help keep your units running efficiently as they can be greatly affected by these 3 things.

Clean or change filters

Filters should be cleaned or changed roughly once a month. If your filters are dirty the airflow will be affected, and therefore your unit will work extra hard to cool or warm your home or office.

Look for obstructions

Make sure there aren’t any obstructions around your outdoor air conditioning unit. If there are any plants growing close from your unit, get rid of them as they can interfere with your air con’s work. All units should have free space to allow them to take air into its system.

Clean coils

Frequently check the coils of your air conditioner aren’t dirty. Dirty coils can compromise your air con unit’s performance. Check with your air con provider for useful recommendations, every unit is different so make sure an expert is giving you good advice.

Remember, turn off your air conditioner before trying to change or clean anything!

Air conditioning around Brisbane and surrounding areas are a great addition to a house or office, especially during hot or cold days. Don’t waste your money by not providing your air con the maintenance it needs.

How often should I change my air conditioning filter?

Posted on by

The climate in Brisbane is not an average climate and the periods of intense humidity will put extra strain on your air conditioning unit, as it tries to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. If you want to ensure your air conditioning unit remains in peak condition you should make sure you take the time to read through your manufactures guidelines. Some manufactures will recommend that you change your filter every 3 months, but dependent on where you live you may need to monitor this and change them on a more regular basis.

Due to the extra demands placed on your unit over the summer months your filter will collect more dirt and dust particles. If your filter becomes blocked you are then not allowing enough air to pass through to your unit and this means it cannot operate effectively. Every home is different and there are a number of factors that will affect the lifespan of your filters. Good quality filters are not expensive especially not when compared with the extra energy costs you will be paying on your air con unit if it is not operating efficiently.

Filters are there to provide protection for your family from allergens and pollutants. Bear in mind that keeping your filter clean, replacing it regularly and using a recommended brand will help keep your unit running more efficiently, the air in your home cleaner, and your family healthier.

If you are in anyway unsure, our team at H&H Air Conditioning are happy to advise you, if you unit is due a service we can discuss it while at your property and provide you with the correct filters and show you how to correctly fit them in your air conditioning unit. We work extensively through Brisbane and surrounding suburbs.

When choosing an air conditioning system it is important you know the differences and advantages of each system. The most common air con systems, split and ducted air conditioning, are very different and potential buyers should know which one is better for their needs. For this reason, in today’s blog we are going to share with you a few reason why you need ducted air conditioning if you are conditioning more than 2 areas. Here at H&H Air Conditioning we strive to provide useful information to customers, in order to help them make the correct choice when purchasing a new air con system such as ducted air conditioning Brisbane.

Ducted air conditioning is perfect if you are need to condition more than 2 big to medium areas. Unlike split systems, ducted systems are non-invasive and are installed in the ceiling or under the floor. Because it is installed in the ceiling or floor, it is the quietest of all air con options.

It can be installed in every room of a house or office and thanks to its zone control feature, it can be programed and set up to cool or heat the rooms being used. In the long term this helps save energy and therefore reduces energy bills.

If you would like to install air condition in multiple rooms we would recommend a ducted air con system. Even though they are more expensive, they are more efficient and in the long run they are more cost effective.

Air Conditioning Tips Brisbane

Posted on by

When you have an air conditioning installed in your house or office there are a few things you should know to keep it running efficiently. Here at H&H Air Conditioning we specialise in air conditioning and love to share tips and advice with customers to help them get the most of their air conditioning Brisbane. Continue reading as we share some tips to help you gain the most from your air con.

Inspect and clean filters frequently

The quantity of dirt and dust that can build up in your filters is impressive. If you don’t have them clean, filters will block the air and force the air conditioner to work harder.

Cleaning filters is very easy and straightforward and shouldn’t take you more than a few minutes.

Service your air conditioner regularly

Air conditioners can have parts that break down or become blocked, leading to less efficiency. For this reason here at H&H Air Conditioning we recommend you have your air conditioner serviced once a year to ensure it is running perfectly.

Close windows and external doors

If you only require one room to be cooled down, close all the other doors to improve the air con efficiency.

Also close all blinds and curtains as heat travels through glass. Keeping them closed helps reduce the load on the air con.

Adjust louvres

If the air conditioner has adjustable louvres, make sure they are towards the ceiling when cooling as cool air falls, and towards the floor when heating as hot air rises.

We hope these few tips help you keep your air conditioner at its most efficient level.

Choosing between ducted and split air conditioner

Posted on by

Air conditioning is usually a requirement in homes and offices across the state. Once summer starts many begin shopping for air conditioning units; however before making a decision, it is always wise to research and ask professionals what is the right choice for your living area and the benefits between the different options. Here at H&H Air Conditioning we provide important tips and advice to our customers to help them make the right decision. Today we will like to share with you some of the information we like to give to our customers when they are not sure if they want ducted or split air conditioner Brisbane systems.

Ducted air Conditioning

This system is the perfect way to air condition a house or office with multiple areas. Air moves around ducts running in the ceiling or underneath the floor and air conditions all areas of your house or office.

Ducted air con consists of one single compressor unit outside the building and the internal fan units are hidden in the ceiling or underneath the floor.

Even though ducted air conditioning might seem more expensive than split air conditioning, in the long run it is more energy efficient and works fantastically if you want to install air conditioning to more than 2 areas.

Split Air Conditioning

Split air conditioning systems are perfect for single areas that need air conditioning. They consist of two separate parts; the compressor unit and the fan coil unit.

The fan coil unit is usually mounted against a wall or floor and is used to cool down or heat up one single area.
