Dont get caught out in the cold

Wall Hung Split System air conditioners are a simple and affordable way to heat or cool single rooms or open spaces and are the most popular form of air conditioning in Australia.

The major benefits of wall mounted air conditioners are:

Cost: Wall hung split systems are economic to buy and install.

Flexibility: You can add air conditioning to additional rooms over time.

Control: Each unit has a simple to use remote control. This allows completely different temperature settings for each room.

When you consider your heating options, air conditioning in winter probably doesn’t spring to mind. In fact, you might think that an air conditioning system that can warm and cool your home sounds too good to be true. However, if you’re a savvy home-owner who is mindful of energy efficiency, your first choice should be a reverse cycle air conditioner.

It’s possible to both cool and warm your home if you get the right air conditioning system. A reverse cycle air conditioner can also filter and dehumidify the air in your home.

When an air conditioner is working to cool your home, warm air from your home is drawn into the unit and is passed over a refrigerant. This cools the air. The air is then pumped back into your home, effectively lowering the internal temperature. Meanwhile, refrigerant absorbs the heat from the air, warming it up to the point that it evaporates and becomes a high-pressure gas. The gas is pumped back outside the home allowing it to cool down and re-liquefy before flowing back inside, to start the whole process again.

Looking for a new air conditioner? The decision on what type of unit to purchase can be a little daunting. You’ll find that many ducted and split system air conditioners boast reverse cycle functions.

Ducted or Split System?

Air conditioning systems are made up of an external coil, a compressor and a fan coil unit (condenser). Whilst ducted and split air conditioners share these basic components, how the unit is set up differs quite dramatically. For example, with a ducted system, all of the component parts are generally housed together in the same unit in the roof space. Cooled air is circulated throughout the house via a series of ducts concealed in the roof space. Those ducts feed cooled air to the rooms in your home via vents or outlets in the ceiling.

In a split system, your air conditioner is split into two units, as the name suggests. One is situated outside, usually on an external wall, and the other is normally wall-mounted.

If you already have a reverse cycle air conditioner, you can improve its efficiency even more by taking simple steps such as ensuring that your home is adequately insulated and that you close doors and windows wherever possible so as to combat heat loss.

Will Winter cost you money?

Will Winter cost you money?

Will Winter cost you money?

Winter is here, so it’s the time to do a safety check in your home to avoid any expensive surprises. These PlumbSpec tips will help.

Will Winter cost you money?

Air Conditioning

A filter you should be cleaning regularly is your air conditioning. A reverse cycle air conditioner is the most energy efficient way to heat your home in winter.

Whether or not you plan on using your air conditioning for heating your home this winter, it’s good practice to perform regular maintenance of your system. You can clean the filters yourself, but unless you have recently had a full professional service of your system, a filter clean is often not enough to ensure the efficiency of your machine and the quality of the air it delivers.

A professional clean removes the build-up of harmful mould, bacteria, pet dander, dead animals, pollen and dust. A clean air conditioner also uses up to 30% less power to run, saving you money.

How old is your air conditioner? If it is over 5 years old, it would be a good idea to get it checked, in case it is due for replacement.

Portable Heaters

If you don’t use air conditioning for heating, there are a few checks you should do before switching on your portable heater. Make sure there are no frays or breakages in the cords. Don’t use an electric heater where it may come in contact with water. Never leave it unattended or in a high traffic area, particularly with children.

Outdoor gas heaters should be checked before use. You will need to have a licensed gas fitter service your outdoor heater if you have difficulty lighting it, the flame is yellow, or there is a strange smell or noise coming from the heater.

Interior Hoses

Flexible hoses, or stainless steel braided hoses, are a common installation usually found under sinks. Their design means they are vulnerable to kinks, frays and rust and can lead to a burst or leak. Flexi hoses must be checked at least every 6 months to prevent potential house flooding. If your flexi-hose is looking a little worse for wear, you should have it replaced by a licensed plumber as soon as possible.

Safety Switches

Your switchboard gathers dust, debris and moisture over time causing safety switches to slow or even cease. This can be a huge safety risk for you and your family. Safety switches should be tested every 3 months to ensure the mechanism works freely. To test your safety switches, press the “Test” or “T” button. The safety switch should then trip, shutting off power to the circuit. To reset push the switches back to the ‘On’ position.

If it does not stay on, you will need to call an electrician to repair or replace the safety switches to ensure you and your family’s safety.

Smoke Alarms

Fire and Emergency services organisations strongly recommend testing your smoke alarms once a month. To make sure you remember, you could set yourself a reminder for the first weekend of the month. Testing your smoke alarms takes less than 10 minutes but ensures your family has the best chance of staying safe in a house fire.

Smoke alarm legislation 

If you have a new or recently renovated property, you are required by law to have interconnected, photoelectric smoke alarms installed – by a licensed electrician – in every room and hallway. Any homes leased or sold need to meet compliance after 5 years. All owner-occupied residents also need to meet compliance after 10 years.

Remove Home Renovation Stress

Remove Home Renovation Stress

Remove Home Renovation Stress.

There’s many things to consider when undergoing home renovations. It’s not just about colour, design, choosing tiles and impressing visitors.

Take the stress out of Home Renovation

Timing is everything and having your trades at the site in the right order can save time and money.

Have a good idea of what you want the finished project to look like. A mood board is fantastic as you can have pictures and samples of finishes and designs. This is also a great guide for the professionals involved, as they can get a feel for the design and your personal tastes.

There are legal requirements to have all the right permits for gas, plumbing and drainage works to be carried out. You must be compliant especially if you intend to sell your home in the future. Always use an experienced, licensed trades person. PlumbSpec can guide you through the miles of red tape that always presents itself as soon as councils and government bodies are involved. Our team will be able to give you advice on the correct permits and approvals needed for the work to be carried out.

Never try to attempt any plumbing, air conditioning or gas fitting jobs yourself! Not only can this be very dangerous, it also voids your home insurance policy.

The friendly team at PlumbSpec have many years of experience across a wide range of professions and can give you the bet options, advice and professional opinions on your next renovation or repair.

By using a professional trades person, you ensure that the work is guaranteed, done properly and finished on time.
