Filters: follow the manual
Check the manufacturer’s cleaning or replacement instructions. Only handle filters described as user-serviceable, with the unit switched off as directed. Do not wash disposable filters or remove service covers.

Please leave equipment assembled. You do not need to inspect wiring, climb to units or remove panels to prepare for a visit.
EVERYDAY EQUIPMENT CARE
These general tips are for comfort air conditioning. Follow your model’s manual; specialist healthcare, industrial and refrigeration equipment needs its own operating procedures.
Check the manufacturer’s cleaning or replacement instructions. Only handle filters described as user-serviceable, with the unit switched off as directed. Do not wash disposable filters or remove service covers.
Confirm the operating mode, temperature setting and timer schedule. Replace remote batteries as instructed. Record an error code rather than repeatedly resetting the system.
Avoid placing furniture or stock against accessible air inlets and outlets. Keep the area around outdoor units clear without reaching into fans, opening panels or climbing to equipment.
Use manufacturer guidance and the system’s operating conditions to plan servicing. Dust, heavy use and recurring faults may call for a review of the schedule.
Weak cooling, leaks, icing, repeated cycling, unusual noise or persistent odours deserve assessment. Share what changed and when; these symptoms do not identify a single cause.
Electrical checks, refrigerant work, internal cleaning and work at height require suitable skills and access. If there is smoke, burning or repeated power tripping, stop using the unit and seek professional help.

REPAIR OR REPLACE?
Age alone does not decide the answer. Review the fault, condition, suitability and full costs before choosing.
| Factor | Repair may be worth exploring | Compare replacement when |
|---|---|---|
| Fault and repair scope | An identified, limited fault with a clear repair plan. | Major damage, several failing components or an uncertain repair outcome. |
| Overall condition | The remaining system is in serviceable condition. | Deterioration affects several parts of the system. |
| Repair history | An isolated issue with an otherwise dependable record. | Repeated faults, repeat call-outs or increasing downtime. |
| Parts and warranty | Suitable parts are available and warranty terms are clear. | Parts are unavailable, lead times are impractical or support is limited. |
| Suitability for the space | The system still meets the building’s cooling requirements. | Usage, occupancy or cooling needs have changed. |
| Cost over time | Repair and expected ongoing care make practical sense. | Installed replacement cost, operation and downtime justify comparing alternatives. |
Compare the repair quotation and warranty with the full replacement cost, including installation and associated work. Ask about parts lead times, expected downtime and the assumptions behind any running-cost estimate.
