Air Conditioning
Service & Maintenance
Air conditioning units work by removing humidity from the air by cooling it. This is done with the help of a refrigerant that turns into gas inside the compressor to be heated up and converted back to a liquid in order to provide refrigeration to remove moisture from the air.
The refrigerant used can either be R-22 or R-410, depending on the AC unit.
AC units need servicing in order to ensure they are safely operating for you and your family.
Air conditioning units are at risk to damage due to extreme weather conditions, meaning service workers are able to identify any issues that may have occurred during this time period which could also include identifying any leaks around power cords, around the compressor, or even leaks within the AC unit itself.
There are many benefits of having a fully operational air conditioning system in your business office or house. The first benefit is the cleaner air which will be flowing around your office or home. Another reason air conditioning is good is because you will feel less tired in your house as there is hardly, if not any, hot air during the summer months.

How to know if your A/C needs servicing?
Air conditioners are a common household appliance, which means that if yours breaks, it could become a major issue.
The first thing you should check if your system kicks out and you yet to take any action, is whether there could be a problem with the power supply. If nothing else comes up instead examine the thermostat setting as pets frequently trigger false alarms.
Not only would the device itself need to be serviced but it may need replacing. You will have to find ways of keep your house cool with no assistance from the system if it does break. If your A/C is more than 10-years old, it’s probably time for a service check-up.
What to do if your A/C Breaks?
Your first instinct might be to turn it off and call an HVAC technician. This is a good step as you should not look into the electric wires yourself. This is because if the wires are faulty, you could end up injuring yourself.
It’s also important to not run the unit when it’s not emitting cold air. If you continue to use the system while it’s broken, you could make the damage a lot worse. This would end up costing you a lot more.

Questions And Answers
The benefits of air conditioning are to give a comfortable environment at home throughout the seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
An air conditioning unit can have two functions – heating and cooling. With an auto changeover switch on most new units, you set the temperature and the unit will cool or heat as required automatically.
The units are exceptionally quiet and ideal if you want climate control in your bedroom for example. An ultra low-noise night time setting can be switched on using the remote controller.
Many air conditioners can last 15 to 20 years, if maintained properly. You may need a few repairs along the way, but your Gross Heating technician can usually catch and fix small problems during your annual Clean & Check.
Your spring cleaning to-do list should include air conditioner maintenance. Regular preventive service can extend the life of your unit, but there’s a certain point when repairing your AC is no longer cost-effective. When this time comes, Gross Heating can walk you through the steps of comparing and choosing the best new system for your home and budget.
There is not a set price for an air conditioning unit until you are specific in the size, shape and where the unit will be placed. Once you have let us know, we give you a price for the unit and a labour charge for us to fit it.
