Comprehensive Service Process
What Does An Air Conditioner Service Look Like At Lexity
Our thorough servicing process addresses every component affecting your air conditioner’s performance and longevity:
Cleaning the Air Conditioner
We meticulously clean the filters removing dust and allergens, treat evaporator coils eliminating efficiency-robbing buildup, and wash condenser coils restoring heat exchange capacity. This deep cleaning improves airflow, reduces strain on components, and ensures fresh, healthy air circulation.
Check Refrigerant Gas Levels
Using precision gauges, we verify refrigerant charges match manufacturer specifications. Low levels indicate leaks requiring repair, while overcharging reduces efficiency. Correct refrigerant levels ensure optimal cooling capacity and energy efficiency.
Ensure Heating and Cooling Functions Work Properly
We test all operational modes including cooling capacity at various settings, heating performance in reverse-cycle units, and fan speeds across all settings. This comprehensive testing identifies any performance degradation requiring attention.
Check Electrical Connections
Loose connections cause component failure and fire risks. We inspect and tighten all terminals, test capacitor function, verify correct amp draw, and ensure safety switches operate correctly.
Check Indoor and Outdoor Units
Complete inspection includes checking mounting brackets and vibration isolators, inspecting cabinet condition for corrosion, verifying drainage slopes preventing water damage, and ensuring adequate clearances for airflow.
Test the Thermostat
Accurate temperature control depends on proper thermostat function. We calibrate sensors for accurate readings, verify communication with outdoor unit, test programming features, and ensure responsive temperature adjustment.
Check the Drainage
Blocked drains cause water damage and system shutdowns. We clear condensate lines preventing overflow, treat drains eliminating algae growth, verify proper drainage angles, and test float switches protecting against flooding.
Cleaning the Louvres
Air direction affects comfort and efficiency. We clean all directional vanes removing dust, lubricate moving parts ensuring smooth operation, adjust for optimal air distribution, and secure any loose components.
When To Service It
Signs Your AC Is Overdue For A Service
Recognising regular service needs prevents complete failures and air conditioning repairs. Watch for these indicators that your system needs professional attention:
Reduced Cooling Performance
Takes longer reaching set temperatures or struggles maintaining comfort levels despite running constantly. Often indicates dirty coils or low refrigerant requiring immediate service.
Unusual Noises
Rattling suggests loose components, squealing indicates belt issues, grinding warns of motor problems. Any new noise demands investigation before major damage occurs.
Higher Electricity Bills
Sudden bill increases without usage changes indicate efficiency loss. Dirty components force systems working harder, consuming excess power.
Water Leaks or Excess Moisture
Puddles near indoor units or water stains signal drainage problems. Left unchecked, water damage becomes expensive quickly.
Unpleasant Odours
Musty smells indicate mould growth in moist components. Burning odours suggest electrical issues requiring immediate attention for safety.
System Cycling Frequently
Short cycling (turning on/off repeatedly) stresses components and wastes energy. Usually indicates refrigerant issues or oversized systems.
