You should be aware that component failure or problems relating to the age of the air conditioner can rapidly trigger a blaze.
Authorities emphasize that much of the risk may not be from visible flames but from molten plastics dripping onto combustible material in your roof or house.
A small fire starting in an air- conditioning unit could accelerate into a major house blaze in under 3.5 minutes. The Metropolitan Fire Service urges all Evaporative A/C be serviced annually, to avoid damage – and aid in fire prevention.
A poorly maintained Evaporative Air Conditioner means you could be using substantially more water than necessary.
Calculations by the University of SA indicate that on a hot day, a properly functioning but poorly maintained evaporative system in Adelaide could use over 120 litres of water an hour.
Evaporative units can also discharge up to 40 litres of water an hour in their self cleaning cycle. Installers often fail to select the most efficient settings.
Dirt, grime & scale on the filter pads and inside the unit further reduce the efficiency and increase water wastage.
Adelaide’s expensive and hard water means a professional service could provide significant savings & help the environment.
Q: When should get my pads replaced?
A: Evaporative unit filter pads are usually made of Aspen or the honey-comb shaped CELdek.
Aspen pads have a working lifespan of around 3-4 years, with CEldek types usually lasting a couple of years longer.
As the filter pads get older, their efficiency declines due to water damage, loss of their regular shape, and the effects of prolonged build-up of dust, grime and scale.
