Frequently Asked Questions
The time needed will depend on whether or not we are installing a ducted system or a split system and whether or not the house is a new build or existing home.
- A split system – Generally can take a few hours to a day.
- A ducted system – A new build will require generally two visits. One will be a ‘rough in’ usually once the roof is on your home, the second will be the ‘fit off’ typically done before or just after handover.
- An existing home – An existing home can usually be done in one day, sometimes two, and is dependent on the amount of work that is required.

It makes sense that an undersized air conditioning unit will struggle with keeping a large room cold in summer and warm in winter, but installing a system that’s too big for a room has its problems too. An oversized air conditioner causes the room to cool prematurely and as a result the air has no time to dehumidify.
Therefore to create the perfect environment in your home it’s best to book an appointment with one of our highly skilled technicians. On arrival our technician will investigate the design and existing insulation of your house, plus the number and size of the rooms you’d like cooled. From a visit, or a detailed discussion our installation designers will be able to quote you on the perfect unit that will perfect the temperature of your home all year round.
Inverter air conditioners are generally preferred for the following reasons;
- They operate with minimal sound.
- They are better at handling greater extremes in temperature and they still manage to be more economical to operate and durable
On the other hand the Non-Inverter air conditioners are better suited to certain people, as they reach wanted temperatures faster than inverter split systems.
When the outdoor temperature is below 6°C it is common for air conditioners to defrost. During the defrosting stage a warm water vapour, the mist, releases from the outdoor fans.
Often ducted air conditioning systems are designed to only work in certain areas of the house (zones) at a time. Check that the zone switch is turned on.
Generally when your Air Conditioner is due for cleaning the filter warning light flashes, yet in a domestic situation it is a good idea to try and aim to clean the air filters on a quarterly basis as it will keep your system running smoothly and lower chances of breathing in unhealthy air. If the air conditioner is in a commercial building, it should be cleaned once a month.
To help prolong the life of your air conditioner, Anrac offers it’s clients scheduled maintenance services. The service not only includes cleaning the unit, but Anrac remind you when a service is due and our technicians check to make sure that the unit is working at its highest performance.
