Summer is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to think about air conditioning. But who do you need to call to install your unit — an electrician or a qualified air conditioning technician?
The answer is a qualified (certified) technician who holds a refrigerant handling licence. They have the experience and skills to correctly install or repair your air conditioner using the appropriate materials. As you can imagine, if the installation isn’t done properly it can lead to all sorts of problems down the road.
So be sure to use a qualified technician who will do the job right the first time. They’ll make sure your AC is installed properly, ensuring your manufacturer’s warranty continues to apply to your new unit — peace of mind that lets you relax and enjoy the summer weather worry-free.
5 reasons to use a certified air conditioning technician
Correct use of refrigerant
If the correct quantity of refrigerant is not added — too little or too much — it can leak from the system and reduce the effectiveness of the unit. Too little, and the system has to work harder, again affecting how it runs. (See our air conditioner regas service.)
Follows manufacturer’s instructions correctly
An experienced technician follows the instructions precisely, in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Lower long-term costs
Installing your air conditioner correctly eliminates the potential for unnecessary maintenance or repair, and ensures the installation meets the manufacturer’s standards. It’s important your air conditioner is installed in the correct location for the room.
Scheduled maintenance plan
Regular servicing of your air conditioner is essential to prevent long-term problems and keep it running efficiently, saving you money on your energy bills.
Protects the product warranty
A product warranty is important for peace of mind — not only to have the product repaired if needed, but at times for a full replacement. When your unit is installed by a certified technician, your warranty will continue to apply for the length of the warranty period.
