No, there are too many variables. We need to know the floor plan to accurately size the unit and determine the amount of duct and other materials needed. Just knowing it is an ‘average’ 4×2 isn’t enough information. Plus, there are different zone controllers available that can affect the price.

The outdoor humidity level will directly affect the amount of water used. The unit will consume more water by evaporation if it is hot and dry. Depending on the temperature and wind they can use 40-60 litres an hour

Only a small amount of electricity is used as it drives only a fan, and a small water pump.

 

All units come with a 5-year manufacturer’s Warranty. AAPL provide a 12-month installation warranty.

For normal domestic situations, it is best to do this twice a year at the start of summer and again at the beginning of winter. For commercial situations, it is best to do this every month.

Aspen or Woodwool Pads (look like wood shavings), you can expect to replace them every 3-4 years. However, this can change depending on the water quality and local circumstances. Chilcel Pads (look like honeycomb) will need to be changed approximately every 7 to 8 years. However, it is possible to vary depending on local conditions and water quality. WARNING: In either of these situations, failure to replace filter pads before they expire may cause a decrease in the efficiency/performance of your air conditioner. It may also result in water leakage into the ductwork or electrics that could cause expensive damage.

  • Ceiling insulation helps keep your home warmer or cooler so the system does not have to work as hard reducing running costs
  • Keep doors and windows closed if you have a reverse cycle system
  • Reducing the temperature by 1 degree on heating or increasing in cooling will save on running costs
  • Window coverings stop direct sunlight from heating your rooms up
  • Stopping draughts and heavy curtains stop heat escaping in winter

Yes, we service all makes and models, from commercial to residential.

Emergency work is not offered

The frequency of air conditioning services will vary depending on the system. Here is a guideline.

  • Wall Splits require maintenance every 18 – 36months. It is vital to inspect and clean filters at least every four months.
  • Reverse cycle Ducted systems should be serviced every 12-24 months. A check and cleaning of the filters is recommended every 4 months.
  • Evaporative Ducted system require servicing at least once a calendar year, with a recommended service being done just before the summer.

The first thing you can do is turn the system off at the isolator for reverse cycle systems and turn it on again after 5 minutes, this re-sets the system. If that does not work you will need a technician to attend to diagnose the problem.

Reverse cycle ducted systems can usually come up with an error code if left on for at least an hour as they run through a self-diagnostic procedure

No, reverse cycle ducted systems require a smaller duct due to their lower airflow and the unit is installed in your roof space with an outdoor unit positioned nearby and connected with copper pipe

Reverse cycle ducted offer heating and cooling through the same vents to a much more accurate temperature than evaporative and with the correct zone system you can control individual room temperatures

Evaporative systems are a cooling only system and get their cooling from drawing air over water cooled pads and this air is then ducted to your rooms
