These days, sneezing may land you a two-week vacation in an isolation ward so it is better to take the preventative measures necessary to ensure you don’t sneeze in the wrong direction or contract a virus you don’t want. Below we have four helpful tips to stay fresh this allergy season and to clean your indoor air so you can breathe freely knowing that you’re Covid-19 free as well allergy-free!

# 1 – If I Can’t Breathe Neither Can You

While staying inside, you don’t need to wear a mask, but in some indoor spaces you may just have to. To avoid being suffocated indoors be sure that your air conditioning unit is working well, that it’s free of mould, and continues to produce clean air. If you’re smelling something a bit funky and musty, it might be time to call in the professionals! And we don’t mean the Ghost Busters!

# 2- It Is All Dirty

You would think that after years of medical advances that someone would have helped us poor pollen and dust sufferers with something more than an antihistamine and a nasal spray, right? Alas, we are not so lucky! When you are beginning to feel the stinging in your eyes and the pain in your nose, reach for a good quality antihistamine before the puffiness in your eyes makes you look as though you have been crying for weeks. Instead, look at installing a high-quality air conditioner in your office space or home means no puffy eyes or runny nose, with you breathing clearer air, that doesn’t have you reaching for the tissues every two minutes!

# 3- Flush Me Out

Congestion and mucus can cause some serious secondary infections if not cleared out quickly enough! So, grab a nasal rinse and feel your soul leave your body through your nostril. Better yet, call in the professionals to give your malfunctioning aircon unit a great spring clean and repair if necessary. As experts, we suggest cleaning your aircon units coming into winter and again in spring!

 # 4 – Sometimes We Can’t Blame The Flowers!

Just like a woman knows her triggers, you should know when your aircon is starting to descend into its death. Just as it is easy to say that your congested nasal passages are due to the flowers spreading their seeds, it’s easy to think your aircon is working properly when it’s not! Having an expert assess and test out your unit is the best way to ensure that you know the cause of the problem. It could be the flowers; but it could be a dying aircon? And no one wants a dying aircon!

In times of extreme weather conditions, there is truly nothing better than having a quality air conditioning system to provide you with a moderate and comfortable temperature.

When it comes to installing an air conditioning system into a residential or commercial property, you basically have two options available to you: split air conditioning systems and ducted air conditioning systems. But, which one do you choose?

Ducted air conditioning provides a comprehensive solution as it can cater to an entire building, while split systems are isolated. While each option has its own set of pros and cons, our professional team here at Asset Aircon is continuously impressed with the benefits that come with ducted air conditioning systems, some of which include:

Almost Silent

The noise that comes along with split system air conditioning can be a little distracting, especially in an office environment where it can distract employees and reduce productivity. Ducted air conditioning systems are a far quitter and allow for you to get a good night’s sleep and to concentrate on your work with no noisy interruptions, as the compressor is usually situated somewhere outside your building.

Simple To Use

Do you struggle when it comes to technology? Well, there is no need to worry when it comes to a ducted air conditioning system as it is very simple to control using a keypad, which has just enough settings to cover all of the temperature control needs.

Comprehensive Solution

Ducted air conditioning provides a whole home solution or business solution. You can cool or warm your entire property by a simple touch, and fast. Many modern homeowners are opting for ducts as they provide a comprehensive solution for their home or office.

Zoning

While it may sound as if ducted air conditioning is just a one-stop solution for the entire home, zoning allows you to choose which rooms to focus on so that you don’t waste electricity on rooms that are not in use. This isolation gives you complete control over the temperature in each section of your home or office, ensuring that everyone is happy and comfortable!

Cohesive Look

The seamless look of ducted air cons is one of the biggest drawcards for this option. All ducts and vents are built into your home’s internal structure, making the system virtually invisible when compared to the bulky vents and compressors of the wall units used in split systems. With this in mind, interior aesthetics will not be compromised.

Air conditioning units have become more and more popular over the years. Especially in the hot and humid Australian climate when you’re sitting there in the heat, sweating and wishing you had an air conditioner in your home. But does having air conditioning systems in your home increase the value of your property?

And does purchasing a new ducted or split unit with hydro clean maintenance assists as part of preventative home treatment to avoid contamination increase your value? Well, we would have said no 6 months ago, however now with viruses like COVID-19 (formally known as Coronavirus) being proven to spread through air conditioning and ventilation systems hydro clean services could be a requirement on sale, just like we do for our car log books when selling a car. Keeping your family and house safe from viruses, diseases, and other contaminates, assisting in any prevention of the recent Covid-19 virus within your home could make your house more appealing at sale.

With the outbreak of the Covid-19, the team at Air Conditioning Gold Coast | Asset Aircon & Elec advices you to change filters of all ducted systems and clean split systems with the hydro Aeris guard treatment immediately or call the friendly team at Asset Aircon to do a maintenance/service on your unit today!

Benefits of Having Air Conditioning In Your Home 

Air Conditioning units not only add value to your home, but they can also often assist in selling or renting out your property. In tropical climates such as the heated suburbs on the Gold Coast like Miami and Robina, having a modern aircon in good working order can be a major selling point for homebuyers. It can also set your property apart from others that may be similar, making your house more memorable and desirable.

In our day and age, new homeowners are increasingly more environmentally aware and conscious. With the average aircon unit using much electricity, some may consider it harmful to the environment. However, having your property equipped with an energy efficient aircon will attract new age buyers and can be a deciding factor in your buyers offer. When you’re buying a million-dollar shack in Miami, you at least want it nice and cool while you renovate. While they may seem more costly, they’ll certainly save the homeowner in the long run as well as lessen electricity bills.

The Other Side of The Coin  

On the contrary, out-of-date, off colour aircons actually contribute to the decrease in the value of your property due to inefficiency and energy consumption. As a homebuyer, having to spend the time and the money on upgrading or replacing an old air conditioning system can subtract from or completely deter buyers offers. Not to mention their concerns on the bacteria and mould living in old and rarely services or cleaned air conditioning Robina units.

Purchase A Top-Quality Unit

When you purchase a good quality aircon unit, ensure it is correctly installed, and put effort into maintaining its integrity, it can truly add value to your home. Purchasing a ducted or split unit with hydro clean maintenance assists as part of a preventative home treatment to avoid contamination and spread through air conditioning and ventilation systems. Keeping your family and house safe from viruses, diseases, and other contaminates, assisting in any prevention of the recent Covid-19 (formally known as Coronavirus) virus within your home.

What is the optimal sleeping temperature you ask? That depends on whom you’re posing such a question too! A woman in her late 40s or early 50s might be going through menopause, and any increase in temperatures above 20-degrees will give her sleepless nights. The same cannot be said for a newborn baby who has a sensitive constitution and can’t say anything when the heat gets too much. Rooms that are too hot, too cold, or draughty will impact the quality of your sleep. For a majority of people, their body heat fluctuates during the day, peaking in the late afternoon to early evening. It then drops and starts to cool down to prepare your body for sleep.

For adults, the most optimal sleeping temperature is between 15 and 19-degrees Celsius while it is higher, at 18 to 21-degrees Celsius for babies and toddlers. Cool temperatures help your body maintain a steady temperature and helps to prevent sweats and insomnia. It is in contrast with what occurs when your body is feeling too cold, which is to use more energy to warm you up, making the sleeping process more difficult. The optimal sleeping temperature will not only help you fall asleep faster but also improve your metabolism and help you enjoy a more restful sleep.

Sleeping in cool conditions allows for better-quality REM and deep sleep. These are two essential aspects that will lead you to operate at your very best during the day. What happens during REM sleep is that your brain processes learnings and consolidates memories while you’re dreaming. During deep sleep, your body works to restore and repair muscles and tissue. A cool body will result in a deep sleep, but if the temperatures are too hot, then the result will be less time spent in deep sleep and less sleep entirely.

To keep your room temperature stable during the evening, make sure to keep the windows closed when the sun goes down. That is because the outdoor temperature can vary and affect the consistency of the temperature in the room. Another excellent method is to close the curtains and blinds to keep out the sunlight and the warmth it brings. The darker the room is, the deeper sleep. You can also wear socks to bed if you are comfortable doing so because keeping your limbs warm will help dilate the blood vessels. The dilation will facilitate better redistribution of heat throughout your body.

A cool environment to lay your head at night will help you sleep quicker and allow your body to rest. When you wake up, you will be feeling better than ever and ready for a productive day. For reliable temperature control in your home and bedroom, you can rely on air conditioners from Asset Air.

When Aussie temperatures soar outside, and you find yourself with a broken air conditioner, and you start sweating buckets, you need a plan and fast! While it is always preferred that you seek the help of a professional, why not do some research first. When your sweat patches start growing, you have no time to wait for a professional. Why not try your hand at it first, you may find you are more like Bob The Builder than you think you are! After reading this blog you will find yourself saying, ‘I know five ways to fix my air conditioner’. Here are some tips from Asset Aircon & Elec.

Get Started, But Don’t Get Electrocuted

If you’re comfortable and know your way around with electricity and appliances and have a general know-how about air conditioners, then get started. If you’re a woman and don’t have a toolbox, borrow your husband’s tools. Grab an adjustable wrench, drill, insulated screwdriver, multimeter, needle-nose pliers, nut driver, socket set, and voltage tester. Most importantly, don’t forget to turn off the main power to the house. We don’t want you getting electrocuted so turn off the power to the house!

Check The System

First up, the obvious solution! Switch the AC on and off – the go-to method for any owner of an electrical device. Then, lower the setting on the temperature panel, which kicks in the fan. If you don’t hear the beautiful sound of a newly moving fan, we would recommend you call Asset Aircon. Our maintenance team would be happy to help!

Do These Simple Fixes For Dummies

If your air conditioner is dispelling cold air or not running correctly, increasing the sweat on your forehead, do these simple fixes. Check that the air conditioner filter is clean or replace it if need be. Then clean and deice the coils. Change the fan switch from auto to on, and you might fix the AC problem – hoorah! Still not working? Well then allow the blower to run for 30 minutes and turn the air conditioner back on.

Fix The Problem By Testing The Fuses

Check that the fuses in the air conditioner are not blown. If they are, there is a failing part inside the air conditioner which needs to be replaced. New fuses are inexpensive and just as simple to install. Yes, even women can do this!

Check For Rodents’ Nests – And Rats Left Fried In The AC

There’s nothing more annoying than rodents and the mess they leave! The AC may be acting up simply because of these little Australian critters. Remove the panel and check for any nests. Then check for any chew marks on electrical connectors and wires. You’ll probably find that these were caused by a dead rat who found his untimely death.  Found broken or chewed wires? Then with every care in the world to avoid fatal electrocution, it’s best to get the help of an expert who’ll safely handle electrical repairs of the cables.

Summer is almost here, and that means hot sweltering days and steamy nights. If your aircon isn’t working correctly, it could lead to sweating, sleeplessness, and very grumpy family members. So what do you do if your aircon has gone on the blink? Well, the first thing one should do is contact Asset Aircon. Obviously, if it’s in the middle of the night or a weekend we probably won’t be of much help. In that case, you can run through this handy checklist of common air conditioner problems, and see if one of the solutions helps to cool you down.

It’s Running, But It’s Not Cooling

You switch your unit on, it rumbles to life, you expect a stream of delicious cooling air – but get damp warmth instead. This is the most common problem with aircon units and can be caused by several things.

• Check the air filter and the drain to see if either needs cleaning.
• Check your coolant level for leaks.
• Turn it off for a bit in case the coil has frozen. Wait about ten minutes and try again.

The Unit Won’t Turn On

Pressing buttons manically in the hopes that it will magically come to life is sadly not the answer. Try this instead:

• Is it plugged in? Seriously, check the plug.
• Make sure the thermostat is set to cool and lower the temperature.
• Does the rest of your house have power? Check your circuit board for dropped switches.

The Fan Is Making A Funny Noise

A common issue with aircon units is when the fan makes a funny noise or doesn’t turn on. All aircon units should switch off occasionally, even when it’s hot outside. A faulty fan could stop this from happening and create bigger problems later on. When you hear funny noises, do this.

• Check that nothing is blocking the fan blades.
• Check that the unit is getting power.
• Turn off the unit, unplug it, and try to move the fan yourself. Does it turn without resistance?
• Clean the filter and any moving parts that you can safely access.

These are the most common ailments that you could come across this summer. For any other issues, don’t hesitate to call us. Asset Aircon & Elec repairs all aircon issues and will have you sighing with relief in no time. Maybe it’s even time for an upgrade?
