How long do air conditioners last in coastal areas?

Salt air can shorten the life of an outdoor unit through corrosion. Rinsing the coils, keeping the unit clear and booking an annual service help protect it in coastal towns like Busselton and Dunsborough.

How often should I service my air conditioner?

We recommend a professional air conditioner service once a year, ideally in spring. Systems that run heavily year-round, or in commercial settings, may benefit from more frequent checks.

What temperature should I set my air conditioner to?

For the best balance of comfort and energy efficiency, set it to 24 to 25°C in summer and 18 to 20°C in winter.

Is it worth repairing an old air conditioner?

If your system is under 10 years old and the fault is minor, repair usually makes sense. If it's older, breaks down often or needs a costly repair, replacing it with an energy-efficient model is often better value over time.
