NOW IS THE TIME TO GET YOUR COOLER SERVICED BENDIGO
When the first properly hot day hits Bendigo, the last thing you want is to switch on your cooling system and discover it isn’t working as well as it should.
Whether you have an evaporative cooler or split system, spring is the ideal time to have your cooling checked and serviced — before your system starts working overtime through summer.
Regular servicing can help your cooler run more efficiently, reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and make sure it’s ready to keep your home comfortable when you need it most.
Here’s why it’s worth booking your cooler service in Bendigo before the summer rush.
Don’t miss out on our early-bird special for September and October* — Evaporative cooler service $190* and Split system service $220*. T&Cs apply.
1. Keep your cooling system running efficiently
Dust, dirt and debris build up in cooling systems over time.
In an evaporative cooler, this can include mineral deposits and dirt accumulating around cooling pads, filters and other internal components. Split systems can also collect dust through filters, coils and other parts of the unit.
When these components become dirty or blocked, your system may need to work harder to cool your home.
Regular servicing gives your technician an opportunity to clean and inspect the system, helping your evaporative cooler or split system operate as efficiently as possible.
And when your cooling system is likely to be running for hours at a time during a Bendigo summer, efficiency matters.
2. Reduce the chance of a summer breakdown
Cooling systems tend to work their hardest at exactly the same time you need them most.
A service can identify signs of wear, blocked components, leaks or other issues before they develop into a bigger problem.
Catching these things early may help prevent an unexpected breakdown during a run of hot weather — and gives you time to organise any repairs before summer arrives.
It’s much better to discover an issue during a spring service than on a 38-degree afternoon.
3. Watch for mould in evaporative coolers
Because evaporative coolers use water as part of the cooling process, they require some maintenance that you won’t find in the same way with a refrigerated split system.
Over time, dirt, mineral deposits and moisture can build up around cooling pads and other components. If an evaporative cooler hasn’t been cleaned or maintained properly, mould may also develop.
Having your evaporative cooler regularly inspected and cleaned helps keep these components in good condition before you begin using the system regularly again.
4. Support better air quality
Your cooling system circulates air throughout your home, so keeping its filters and internal components clean is important.
Dust and debris can accumulate inside both evaporative cooling and split systems between services.
Cleaning or replacing filters where required and removing built-up dirt helps your system circulate cleaner air throughout the home rather than pushing accumulated dust back into your living spaces.
5. Help extend the life of your system
Like most appliances, cooling systems benefit from regular maintenance.
A cooler that is continually operating with dirty filters, blocked components or minor faults may place unnecessary strain on the system.
Routine servicing helps keep everything operating as it should and gives you the opportunity to address smaller problems earlier — which can help you get more life from your system.
6. Make sure it’s ready before Bendigo heats up
It’s easy to forget about your cooling system over winter.
Then the first hot week arrives and everyone in Bendigo has exactly the same idea: I should probably get the air conditioner looked at.
Booking your air conditioner service before summer means you can make sure your system is ready to go before cooling becomes essential.
It also gives you more time to deal with any repairs or replacement parts that may be required.
How often should you service your cooler?
How frequently your system needs servicing will depend on the type of cooling system you have, how often it is used, its age and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
As a general rule, having your cooling inspected regularly is one of the simplest ways to make sure it remains clean, efficient and ready for summer.
If you notice reduced airflow, unusual noises or smells, higher-than-normal energy use, leaks or your system simply isn’t cooling like it used to, it’s worth having it checked sooner rather than later.
