Correct Remote Settings for Darwin
Jason Gebert • July 30, 2019
When you get into your new property, or have a brand new unit installed you will find that each air conditioner comes with a number of different possible settings on the remote. We currently attend to at least two call outs per week that are fixed with the correct remote control settings.
The two main things that allow your air conditioner to constantly cool with a set fan speed are your – mode and fan speed buttons. Auto setting is something we try to avoid on remote controls as this tends to cycle the indoor and outdoor units in and out. You will feel like the room is nice and cool one minute, and then be asking yourself if it is on the next.
Mode
– We always advise to run on the cool setting as Dry and Auto tend to do the same thing, which is cycle in and out not giving you a constant cooling experience. On some Remotes the Cool setting will be a small icon of an icicle, and on others it will actually say “cool”.
Fan Speed
– This gives you the option for low, medium, high and auto. Any setting is fine other than the auto setting as this will give you a continual air flow coming from your air conditioner. So set your desired fan speed by hitting the “fan speed button” until the right fan speed comes up.
If these remote settings are the same as on your remote and your air conditioner still doesn’t seem to be working as well as it should you should check out how to avoid a service call
to eliminate the small things before requesting a technician .
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.
