How to Keep Your Air Conditioning System Running Efficiently
In Australia, enduring summers’ scorching heat and humidity without air conditioning is practically impossible.
It’s not just a matter of comfort; it’s a basic necessity. Paying attention to certain things is crucial to ensure that your air conditioning unit operates smoothly.
Neglecting your unit’s maintenance could lead to costly damage and a potential breakdown.
But if your AC unit faces any issues, trust the skilled team at Lux Air Services to repair or replace it.
With the onset of warmer weather, it becomes necessary to switch on the air conditioning unit to beat the heat and maintain comfort level indoors during the hot summer months.
But, just like any other mechanical system, air conditioners must also be adequately maintained to function smoothly and prevent any expensive malfunctions.
Therefore, it is crucial to follow specific guidelines to ensure the efficient operation of your air conditioning system. Here are some valuable tips to keep your air conditioning system running optimally.
Regularly Change the Air Filters
The performance of an air conditioning system heavily relies on the condition of its air filters. These filters have the crucial function of filtering out dust, dirt, and other harmful particles from the air.
With them, your AC unit would be able to work harder than necessary, which can lead to increased energy consumption and higher bills. To prevent this, replacing your air filters every three months is essential, especially if you have pets or suffer from allergies.
Doing so ensures that your AC system runs smoothly and efficiently, providing clean and refreshing air throughout the year.
Keep the Outdoor Unit Clean
Your air conditioning system’s exterior component may get blocked with leaves, dirt, and debris, impeding airflow and lowering effectiveness. To maintain it, regularly trim the vegetation around the unit and clean the fins with a soft brush to remove debris. If you identify any harm to the fins or other parts of the unit, it is better to contact a professional HVAC technician for repair.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
It’s crucial to keep your air conditioning system in tip-top shape if you want it to function correctly and without any hiccups.
A trained technician will perform routine checks, cleaning, and fine-tuning to ensure your system works smoothly and effectively.
Additionally, they’ll help you identify any potential issues before they escalate into expensive repairs. You should schedule maintenance at least once yearly before the cooling season begins.
Use a Programmable Thermostat
By installing a programmable thermostat, achieving a cost-effective solution to trimming your energy bills and maintaining your air conditioning system’s peak performance is a breeze.
These thermostats are designed to configure various temperature settings for different hours or days of the week, allowing you to regulate the temperature depending on your timetable.
You can, for instance, raise the temperature while you’re out and lower it at home.
Seal and Insulate Your Home
By properly sealing and insulating your home, your air conditioning system will have less strain placed on it, leading to improved efficiency.
Attending to air leaks and adding insulation to your walls, floors, and attic can keep hot air from entering your home and cool air from escaping, resulting in a more pleasant and energy-efficient living space.
To ensure your air conditioning system runs smoothly and efficiently while avoiding potential costly breakdowns, it’s essential to take proactive steps such as regular cleaning, maintenance, and utilizing a programmable thermostat.
Suppose you require assistance with maintaining or repairing your air conditioning system.
In that case, it’s recommended to seek the assistance of a professional HVAC technician like Luxair Services to guarantee optimal performance and longevity of your system.

Lux Air responded to my enquiry quickly and we had a service booked within a reasonable timeframe. Brock who attended the service arrived on time, and was knowledgeable and friendly. Would certainly use again in the future and would recommend Lux Air to others.
Fast, friendly, clean and really helpful. We had our air-con serviced, had a fault checked out and some downlights replaced, which were difficult to source. Great job guys. Communication was very easy.
Excellent service from the Lux team, ducted and split system air conditioning checked and cleaned, sensor lights and additional electrical work completed with tidy up afterwards. They knew their stuff and were very courteous, efficient and respectful. Georgia in the office worked with us to fit in with our schedule and was very helpful. Well done team!
(Update): Have recently had a very old split-system aircon replaced, and my assessment of this business remains unchanged in all aspects. Thoroughly recommended!Very professional business to deal with. Had three very dirty split ACs cleaned brilliantly, and the change in performance is remarkable!
I had a great experience with Lux air. Communication was timely and professional. They returned their quote swiftly and were able to organise the installation within a reasonable time. Staff were friendly and completed the job perfectly. I was very happy with the service.
Brilliant service from start to finish. Staff in the office and on site were friendly and helpful. The guys were on time, worked efficiently and were happy to share my baked cookies! Not often these days that you get a company that is so easy to deal with. Have recommended Lux Air Services to friends and family.
Lux Air Services installed a new split-system Mitsubishi air conditioner, one larger external unit to service 2 separate interior units & they installed 3 new ceiling fans. The company was excellent on every level. Brock visited for a free-quote, he impressed me by the depth of knowledge and his honesty. I had conducted a lot of online research and recognised that Brock’s recommendations were spot-on. He advised to get ceiling fans in my 1970’s apartment & the results are fantastic (forgive the pun), the air now circulates through my apartment and there was no need for a third interior unit. Georgie in the office was extremely well organised when the project was underway & went out of her way to ensure everything was clearly communicated and planned. The three electricians (including Brock who had assessed my apartment for the quote) turned up on time and were friendly, respectful & professional. The work was completed perfectly & the new exterior Mitsubishi air con is SO QUIET when running at maximum. I would recommend Lux Air Services to my family & friends without any hesitation. Air conditioning & ceiling fans are not cheap, but Lux were several thousand cheaper than another well-rated company who also quoted this job. I appreciated Brock’s technical expertise when assessing the old switchboard in my apartment building, it is possible to install systems that can trip the power and the way the fans and air con are wired means this will not happen. A less experienced contractor might make this type of error. With the increasing heat of summers I believe it’s important to have adequate air conditioning and fans to ensure a good nights sleep & avoid the exhausted feeling that Brisbane’s hot humid summers can cause.
Had 2 Aicons installed and 2 exterior double power points. The staff were excellent, professional and friendly. Left our home in good tidy order. Would definitely recommend Lux Air
