• In our hot Australian climate, having an air
  conditioner can make life so much more
  comfortable. But, like all appliances, air
  conditioners have a limited lifespan. Here are
  the top five signs that you need to repair or
  replace your air conditioner.

1. Its just not cool

• The most obvious sign that you need to repair or
  replace your air conditioner is that it just
  doesnt cool.
• It depends on your unit, the climate you live in
  and how often you use it, but a well maintained
  and regularly serviced air conditioner can last
  10 years or more.
• Manufacturers often give an estimate of the
  lifecycle of a particular model refer to the
  original product specifications or manual to see
  if your air conditioner has come to the end of
  its life.

2. Your energy bills are getting bigger

• During warmer and cooler months, you often see
  changes in your energy bills due to your heating
  and cooling use.
• If your bills appear to be higher than usual,
  think about doing an energy audit. This helps you
  to work out whether your air conditioning unit is
  working as well as it should.

3. Its giving off strange emissions

• If your air conditioner gives off unusual smells,
  moisture or noise when you turn it on, it may
  need to be repaired or replaced.
• Strange smells may be caused by a unit that
  hasnt been cleaned or maintained properly, or by
  a filter that needs replacing.
• An unusually loud air conditioner may be a sign
  that the fan isnt working properly, one of the
  parts inside the unit has become loose, or that
  an internal mechanism has become clogged with
  dirt.
• Depending on the type of air conditioner you
  have, water dripping on the outside of your unit
  (i.e. outside the house) may be normal. However,
  moisture inside the house indicates that you may
  need to repair or replace your air conditioner.

4. The temperature is inconsistent

• Your air conditioner is supposed to provide a
  consistent air temperature at the setting youve
  chosen.
• If you find that certain rooms or spaces become
  cold zones, and others dont seem to get any cool
  air at all, it might be a sign that your air
  conditioning unit is on the way out.

5. It needs excessive repairs

• Ideally, your air conditioning unit should be
  serviced yearly to check for blockages and
  cleanliness.
• You may also need an occasional extra service or
  repair. However, if you find that youre
  repairing your unit multiple times per year,
  replacing the air conditioning unit may be more
  economical and efficient in the long run.
