Air conditioning has become a necessary appliance in many households, especially in hot and humid climates. With advancements in technology, modern air conditioning units have special features that make them energy-efficient, quiet and convenient to use. Many of our range of residential air conditioning units are available with the following special features:

Wi-Fi Connectivity: Our modern air conditioning units come with Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling users to control and monitor the unit using their smartphones or other devices. This feature allows users to adjust the temperature and settings remotely, ensuring that the unit is only in use when needed, which can help reduce energy consumption and save on energy bills.
Air Purification: Air conditioners with air purification features use filters that trap pollutants, allergens and other harmful particles, ensuring that the air in the room is clean and fresh. This feature is especially useful for people with allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems.
Dehumidifiers: Select air conditioners come with built-in dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture from the air, reducing the humidity levels in the room. High humidity can cause mould growth, which can lead to health problems, so a dehumidifier feature can help maintain a healthy indoor environment.
Sleep Mode: Air conditioners with sleep mode adjust the temperature gradually throughout the night to ensure the user is comfortable while sleeping. This feature can help promote better sleep and reduce energy consumption.
Quiet Operation: Modern air conditioners are able to operate with minimal noise, thanks to their advanced technology and soundproofing features. This feature is especially important for bedrooms or other areas where noise can be a disturbance.
Smart Home Integration: Many modern air conditioners can be integrated with smart home systems, allowing users to control their air conditioner using voice commands or other smart devices. This feature makes it more convenient to control the air conditioner and can help reduce energy consumption.

Modern air conditioning units provide a wealth of features that make them energy-efficient, quiet and convenient to use. Whether you’re looking to upgrade an existing unit or purchase a new one, be sure to look into the available special features so you get the most out of your investment.

Our air conditioning experts specialise in a range of installation, maintenance and repair services to help you get the most out of your air conditioning unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of installing a residential air conditioning system?
Installing a residential air conditioning system extends beyond simply keeping your home cool during summer:
- Temperature Control: It allows you to set the exact temperature and humidity levels to ensure your home is always comfortable.
- Filtering Technologies: Modern air conditioning systems are often integrated with sophisticated filtering technologies. They help improve indoor air quality by eliminating dust, pollen and other airborne pollutants, providing relief to those with allergies or respiratory issues.
- Quiet Operation: If you're concerned about noise, many contemporary models operate so quietly that you'll barely notice they're working.
- Improved Property Value: Potential homebuyers often prioritise properties with effective cooling solutions, making your investment a valuable asset.
Which type of residential air conditioning system is best for my home?
The type of air conditioning system that's best for your home depends on several factors:
- Split Systems: A split system, which includes an indoor and outdoor unit, might be a cost-effective solution for cooling a single room or open-plan space.
- Ducted Systems: Ducted systems, on the other hand, offer comfort for the whole house, discreetly operating via a series of ducts installed in your ceiling or underfloor.
- Multi-head Systems: If you're looking to cool multiple rooms at different temperatures, a multi-head system might be the answer. It allows you to control the climate of each room individually.
- Cassette Air Conditioner: It is a ceiling-mounted air conditioner that distributes air via four outlets. Cassette units are ideal for larger spaces due to their powerful and even air distribution.

What is the typical lifespan of a residential air conditioning system?

A residential air conditioning system can typically serve you well for about 15 to 20 years. However, this estimate may vary depending on factors such as the quality of the original installation, the system's model and manufacturer, usage patterns and how regularly it's maintained.
What should I do if my residential AC unit is not cooling effectively?

If your AC unit isn't cooling effectively, it could be due to a refrigerant leak, blocked or dirty filters, issues with the compressor or even a malfunctioning thermostat. DIY attempts to fix it could potentially lead to further damage or even void your warranty. Reach out to Eco Chill Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, and our technicians will diagnose the problem and recommend an effective solution.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my existing residential AC system?
There are several strategies that can help you enhance the energy efficiency of your existing air conditioning system:
- Regular professional servicing and maintenance can help keep your system functioning optimally, preventing unnecessary energy waste.
- Moreover, effective insulation in your home reduces the workload on your AC system as less cool air escapes from windows, doors and walls.
- Utilising energy-saving modes and smart thermostats can also contribute to energy efficiency.
How often should I service my air conditioning system?

To maintain optimal performance and prolong its lifespan, it's generally recommended to service your air conditioning system annually. It allows technicians to clean, adjust and inspect your system, ensuring everything is in order. However, if your system is older or heavily used, it may require more frequent check-ups. Regular servicing can help detect and rectify issues early on before they turn into costly repairs.
How do I know when it's time to replace my air conditioning system?
Recognising when to replace your air conditioning system can save you from unforeseen breakdowns and increasing energy costs. Here are signs that your system might need replacement:
- Age of the System: If your air conditioning system is over 15 years old, it might be time to consider a replacement.
- Frequent Repairs: If your system requires frequent and costly repairs, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.
- Increased Energy Bills: If your energy bills are steadily increasing without a noticeable change in usage patterns, it might indicate the need for a replacement.
Always consult with a professional before deciding to replace your system. They can assess your current unit and offer advice on the best course of action.
