Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You should inspect the air filters in your air conditioner at least once a month during the peak season to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and block the airflow, reducing cooling ability and increasing the chance of mechanical failure.

When a hot day occurs, turn on the evaporative cooler a bit earlier rather than waiting until the building becomes hot. Evaporative systems operate more efficiently when the outside air temperature is cooler. Most importantly, you should get your ducts and unit cleaned by a professional duct cleaning company to allow the system to work more efficiently.

Yes, definitely. The higher the temperature is, the better an evaporative cooler works.

There are a few common signs of a duct blockage that may indicate you need duct cleaning in Melbourne:

Are temperatures in different rooms of your building not the same?
Has your energy bill spiked recently?
Are your ducts blowing out dust or a bad smell?

If you have a particular air duct that is clogged, then air is only cut off to some rooms in the building, but not all of them. Your HVAC system will continue to work harder and harder to cool or heat those rooms properly, which can lead to increased bills unless duct cleaning is organised.

The accumulated filth, including mild dust, mildew, debris, etc., chokes the HVAC system. These create resistance to the airflow, which affects the complete air circulation. When there is no filth, there is no resistance and flawless air circulation. Hence, duct cleaning can improve its efficiency.

Running costs are estimated to be 15% of an equivalent sized refrigerated air conditioning system, so they are very cost-effective to operate. The savings in energy costs compared to refrigerated systems can be hundreds of dollars a year. And the best thing is, it’s an environmentally-friendly system that uses a natural method to cool your premises down.
