Question 1

Why is my air conditioner (aircon) dripping water?

Accepted Answer

When water leaks from your air conditioner, some of the most common causes include a blocked drain line or a dirty filter/blower. These problems can be dealt with easily by cleaning your drain line and air filter/blower.

Question 2

Why is my air conditioner (aircon) not efficiently cooling?

Accepted Answer

When facing issues with the cooling effectiveness of air conditioning units, the first thing that comes to mind for most people would probably be insufficient refrigerant (commonly describe as "gas"). However, the issue can be resolved by general servicing or chemical cleaning in most cases. A simple way to resolve the problem is to arrange for an inspection, so that a qualified technician can advise you on the appropriate solution.

Question 3

Why is warm air coming out of my air conditioner (aircon)?

Accepted Answer

Your air conditioner might be blowing warm air due to an issue with the cooling mechanism. Causes may include simple things like thermostat settings and poor air flow, or bigger problems such as electrical problems and refrigerant leaks.

Question 4

Why is there an unusual smell coming from my air conditioner (aircon)?

Accepted Answer

Your air conditioner removes excess moisture within the room. Thus, if the water is not being drained away properly, mildew and/or fungus will start to grow in or near your air conditioner which will cause a mouldy odour. This in turn may increase health risks of inhaling mould fragments or spores, and cause respiratory problems.

Question 5

Do I need to do regularly service my air conditioner (aircon)?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning your air conditioner regularly allows it to perform more efficiently by reducing the stress and pressure from dust and debris build-up. When air filters and fan blowers get clogged and become dirty, the flow of air will be obstructed. This in turn drives your aircon to work harder than it should.
