With the summer getting ready to heat up, and even stifle, as Queenslanders, you’ll be wanting your air conditioning in Ipswich, Milton, Jindalee, or anywhere else in Brisbane to keep you comfortable. Therefore, it makes good sense to book an air conditioning service to ensure your system is in tip-top state.

Things do go wrong, though, and it’s important to be able to spot any signs of problems. Some are more obvious than others, but by using your senses, you can pick up on some clues.

First up, if your nose is twitching and there is definitely something in the air, it could be your unit. It might be that there is mould, even fungi or mildew, forming, and this could be as a result of a blocked-up draining pipe. Do also check if the smell is outside as well; the unit may simply be importing pongs from elsewhere! It’s also possible that a rodent might have expired somewhere around your unit!

Secondly, are you ears telling you that something doesn’t sound quite right? This might be obvious. Unless you’ve locked somebody in a room, or they’re playing the drums for the rock band rehearsing in your garage, then a loud banging might be caused by a fan belt becoming dislodged. If it’s more subtle, but definitely there, it’s good to call one of our team before it increases in volume.

Thirdly, use your eyes; it’s good to inspect the system regularly. If your system is struggling to cope, it might be through ice being formed as a result of a blocked filter. The other thing you can often find is that it’s leaking refrigerant. Topping it up is often the response, but that won’t fix a problem, just like you wouldn’t simply add more water to a leaking bath and hope for the best!

So, using just three senses can help identify some areas of concern, often before they escalate. Then, it makes sense to contact FIXZIT on 1300 726 806, and let our experts help. Before you do, one final tip. If the system simply isn’t working, and it’s remote controlled, do check the batteries in your controller handset. Honestly – we have been called out before, simply to find that new batteries were all that was needed!
