Air Conditioning Buyer’s Guide- Part 2
June 28, 2019
If you have read part 1 of our buyer’s guide thank you if not you can read back over it here. We gave you a lot of information last week about certain aspects of choosing your home air conditioner. Without overloading you here is a bit more information to make sure you are making the most informed decision possible when purchasing your air conditioning unit.
Noise?
Concerned about the noise your new air conditioning unit is going to make? Be sure to check the noise level rating before buying. Panasonic air conditioners are amongst the quietest in the world.
What Brand Should I Trust?
It is important to pick a brand that you have heard of before and one that offers warranty work in Darwin. There are a few brands out there that don’t have a warranty agent in the Territory so be careful before buying that you can get the aftercare that you deserve if anything goes wrong. At Advanced Air we are Panasonic warranty
agents and deal mainly in Panasonic units. These units all come with a 5 year warranty meaning if anything goes wrong in the next 5 years all you need to do is give us a call and we will be there as soon as possible.
What Kind of Air Conditioning Unit do I need?
Depending on what you want your air conditioner unit to do there are a few different types. Mainly Split Systems and Ducted units. Split Systems are two separate units, an indoor and an outdoor unit. Ducted systems have an outdoor unit and a concealed indoor unit. They deliver air through ducted pipes into each room via vents on the floor, wall or ceiling. Before deciding which type you would like you should discuss your options with a professional.
What Will This Cost?
A big factor in such a decision will probably ultimately come down to cost. Air conditioning units can be a big investment. So make sure that you are getting the most for your money and purchasing a recognised brand with a reputable guarantee. You can check out our range of Panasonic products
, all of which come with a 5 year warranty. Cost can also greatly affect the type of air conditioner units you purchase. While no option is cheap, the split system would be the cheaper option between ducted and split system units.

3 Simple checks you can do at home before Christmas to make sure your air-conditioner is ready for the holidays.
Once you have the error code you can view it on our fault list.
The first sign many people notice is a musty, mouldy odour. If you do a thorough clean of your office or commercial space and the smell is still there, it’s time to check your vents. Getting your Air Conditioning Contractor to remove the covers and take a quick look inside may confirm the issue, especially if you see mould or notice a stronger smell in that area. If the scent is stronger, but you can’t see the mould, then the growth is possibly further in the ducts. Another sign of a mould issue is the sudden onset of allergy symptoms. If you or a co-worker notices burning eyes, scratchy throat, or a runny nose that gets better when you leave the office, there could be an issue. Arranging for your HVAC technician to check your filters should be the first step. If it needs to be changed they can install a new one. If the symptoms continue they can do a quick check of your vents and a visual check of your ducts. Inspecting your duct work can also provide clues to a possible mould problem. An Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) can check for signs of moisture build-up, such as condensation, dark spots, or actual leaks. Mould needs water to grow, so any signs of condensation or leaking could indicate a growth hot spot. Duct cleaning and coating is a specialised job and as such the majority of HVAC companies sub-contract duct cleaning and coating out to companies like ours. At Advanced Air we have our Air Systems Cleaning Specialist on staff ready to undertake any duct inspection, cleaning or coating project you may have.
