Cabinet Air Conditioner FAQ

Can I switch off the system at the main power point or at the fuse box?

It is OK to turn the power off, especially if you are away for long periods. Most units have a low wattage crankcase heater that keeps the compressor warm. If the compressor is cold at start up damage may occur. If you turn off your air conditioner for long periods ensure its turned on at least 12 hrs before use. It is also okay to turn the power off to reset the system.

I have a filter sign on my wall controller.

This comes on after a certain amount of running hours. It is to remind you to check your filter for cleaning or replacement. It’s a good time to book a general service of your air conditioner, if you haven’t had one carried out within the last 12 months. If you have, you can clear the filter sign by pressing and holding the clear button for at least 3 seconds.

Why is my system noisy?

• There are a few reasons why your system might be noisy, depending on where the noise is coming from.Check your filters are clean – if they are clogged this restricts the air flow and the system then overworks and gets noisy trying to draw in the required air.
• A fan could be out of balance, or a problem with the fan motor. 
• If you have a ducted system with zones, one of the zone motors may be faulty.
