Is there a common reason? It’s possibly unseen hidden in the roof parts. Ie: ducting, joiner tape, air distributors and damper motors that fail or wear out.

Now I think about it, our system has slowly been losing its efficiency over the past few years. 

Is it time to get it replaced? Often it’s the air delivery components not the AC. Heating your roof space before your rooms, due to blown apart ducting, uses twice the power and takes twice as long. The highest stress is placed on our system when changing over from the cool cycle to heating.

Actually I have noticed there is no airflow out of the vent in our bedroom.

Our inspecting technicians will determine if it is a ducting issue or if the damper motor is faulty, jammed or burnt out – or a control issue is preventing operation.

What’s a good tip for running a ducted reverse cycle heating system? Yearly servicing will keep you worry free and save time and hassles. Aim to heat your room at between 20c and 22c. If you have to set the temperature greater than 24C you may have a unit that is too small or not running at peak efficiency.

Keep warm this winter with a ducted air-conditioning service and tune-up. Our technicians will make sure your system is running at peak efficiency for the cold months ahead. Remember that the changeover from summer to winter places the greatest stress on your system. Even small faults in your system can blow out your power bill. Neglected air-conditioning systems are a major fire risk so don’t take chances. We recommend Reverse Cycle AC check and service should be done every year because on average, most systems are built to last for about 12 years but with the proper care and maintenance, your aircon can give you great service for about 15 years.
