Air Conditioning Reynella

Low refrigerant, a failing compressor or a choked filter all show up the same way, weak airflow and warm outlets. We diagnose the real cause before quoting, and more on air conditioners not cooling lives on its own page.

A clogged condensate line or a frozen coil sends water down the wall, and brick veneer hides the damage well. Water leaks rarely fix themselves, so get them checked.

Rattles and grinding from the outdoor unit usually mean worn bearings or loose mounts. Left alone, a small noise becomes a compressor replacement, so read up on air conditioner noise.

In cooling mode, warm air points to refrigerant loss, a stuck reversing valve or a thermostat fault. We trace it and quote the fix, with more on warm air faults.

One unit, one room, simple and efficient. Ideal for living areas and bedrooms in the brick veneer stock, and we install Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and ActronAir.

Whole-of-home cooling and heating from one system, with zoning to keep running costs down. It suits the family-sized blocks that dominate here.

Evaporative cooling runs cheaply in dry summer conditions, but it needs windows open and it does not heat. Understand evaporative cooling before you commit.

Higher star ratings cost more upfront and less every quarter. On a system that runs hard through February, the maths usually favours the efficient unit.

Ducted systems with zoning let you cool the rooms you use instead of the whole house. In a family home, that is the single biggest running-cost lever.

Systems sized for an average day struggle on day three of a heatwave, running flat out and still falling behind. We size for the worst week, not the average one.

Evaporative units use water as well as power but cost far less to run than refrigerated cooling in dry heat. That is exactly why they suit Adelaide summers.
