FAQ

Why is it important to clean my filter?

Keeping your filter clean is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. The filter acts as a shield, protecting your indoor machine from the dust that accumulates in every home. Over time, this dust can form a thick, unsightly sludge on the indoor coil, which, when exposed to a dark and moist environment, can become a breeding ground for toxic bacteria. This sludge not only contaminates the air you breathe but can also clog your system's drain, potentially leading to leaks and costly ceiling damage.

My aircon is leaking.

If your air conditioner is leaking, it's essential to reach out to Surf eyre for professional assistance. Fixing a leaking AC typically involves disassembling the unit to clean the coil, flush the drains, and apply an anti-bacterial solution.

My aircon is not blowing cool air.

When your air conditioner is not cooling as expected, several issues might be at play. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the problem:

  • Ensure that the AC is set to "cool" mode.

  • Set the temperature to a comfortable level.

  • Set the fan speed to high or constant.

  • Wait for about 5 minutes. Some systems have a safety feature that prevents the compressor from starting immediately to save energy.

If these steps work, that's great! However, if the problem persists, do not force the issue as it might cause further damage. Instead, contact Sam at Surf Eyre (contact is a link to email)

Why does my aircon smell bad?

A foul odour from your air conditioner can result from various factors, including:

  • Cigarette smoke residue on the coil.

  • Dust buildup on the coil.

  • Poor positioning of the return air.

  • Unfortunate instances of animals (e.g., cats, mice, rats) decaying within the ductwork.

Try to identify the source of the smell based on the above factors and remove it if possible. If you can't pinpoint the issue, feel free to reach out to us for an on-site assessment.
