How do I Maintain my Split System Air Conditioner

DNA Queensland Electrical thinks its very important to maintain your Split system air conditioner on a three month period The most important maintenance task that will ensure the health of your family and the efficiency of your air conditioner is to routinely clean its filters.

Clogged, dirty filters blocks normal airflow and reduce a system's efficiency significantly. With normal airflow obstructed, air that bypasses the filter may carry dirt directly into the evaporator coil and impair the coil's heat-absorbing capacity.

Replacing a dirty, clogged filter with a clean one can lower your air conditioner's energy consumption by 5% to 15%. DNA Queensland Electrical will show you four easy steps to help you get the most out of your air conditioner.

Step 1:- Pull the return air diffuser up till the point of it locking in place, this will insure that you will have ample space to access the filters easily. .

Step 2:- Lift up the filter and slide them towards your self freeing the filters from the air conditioner head unit.

Step 3:- Take the filters out side and hose filters till the point of all dust is free from filter.

What should I set my temperature to on my Air-conditioner

Generally the best temperature to set your air conditioning to is around 24°C in summer and 19°C in winter.

You can save considerably on the amount of energy consumed for each 1°C of cooling or heating that you do without. For example when it's 35° outside, setting your air conditioner to around 24, rather than say, 20, can save a significant amount of energy without your system running constantly. Balance between comfort and efficiency of the system.


Shade your windows in summer with curtains, awnings, or shutters to reduce heat absorption by up to 80%. Heavy linen curtains with pelmets will also help trap heat in winter. This all helps in reducing the overall running costs of your air conditioning.

Where to locate your Air Conditioning outdoor unit

To ensure optimum performance, the outdoor section of split systems should have adequate ventilation around the out door unit with A clear distance in front of the outdoor unit also, if possible, be placed in a shady area.

Direct sunshine and restriction of air access will reduce the air conditioner's performance.

Adequate clearance from obstructions is essential to ensure that exhaust air is not re-circulated back through the outdoor coil.
