The installation of aircon can take four to eight hours. But it’s important to note that the time it takes to install your AC unit depends on several factors, like the kind and dimensions of the unit, the size of your property, and the accessibility of the space. Discuss these details with your Tasker beforehand so you can gauge how long the installation process will take.

It depends on what type of air conditioning unit you have, but generally speaking, the average lifespan of an air conditioner is 10 to 25 years. You can maximise this lifespan by ensuring that your unit is correctly installed by a professional, maintaining and cleaning it regularly, and having it repaired when needed.  

You should have your existing aircon unit replaced when it is more than ten years old, it frequently breaks down, your energy bills have skyrocketed, is no longer energy efficient, and when it stops keeping up with your needs and doing its supposed job. Another sign would be when repairs cost way more than installing a replacement. Your Tasker can assess your existing air conditioning unit if it needs to be repaired or replaced. 

After your aircon installation, you should first check its control system. Testing your thermostat is a way to see whether it has problems sensing the temperature inside your property. Then, inspect the ducts and listen for unusual noises like rustling, flapping, or hissing. Lastly, examine whether cool air is circulating inside the room. Your Tasker can be with you as you do these inspections so they can fix the problems that would arise.

It’s not recommended. Air conditioning installation can only be done by professionals with the appropriate skills, training, and licences. And since installing an aircon involves working on electrical components, this adds an elevated risk to the process. It’s best to leave this to the experts to save yourself time, money, effort, and from potential harm.

Think about your needs, space requirements, and budget. Also, consider the unit’s quality, size, energy consumption, air quality, and durability. You can also consult your Tasker about the amount of time it takes and cost to install and whether the unit requires high maintenance. Consider all these factors before choosing the aircon type to install on your property. 

It’s recommended to have your air conditioner serviced at least once a year, ideally in spring before the hot weather arrives. If you use it year-round (for both cooling and heating), a 6-month service may be ideal. Regular servicing helps maintain energy efficiency, extends the unit's lifespan, and ensures clean, healthy air in your home.

A split system is ideal for cooling or heating individual rooms and is more affordable to install and run. Ducted air conditioning is better for whole-home climate control, offering a seamless look with vents in the ceiling, but it’s generally more expensive upfront and to install.

Yes, many air conditioning brands offer energy-efficient models with high star ratings and inverter technology. Look for units with a high Energy Rating Label, and ask your installer about the best options for reducing electricity usage while maintaining comfort year-round.
