Fujitsu Aircon Maintenance

by Airrite Mech4 Air-rite Mechanical Services

Air conditioners are a necessity. You can’t survive the long summer days without having the air conditioner to cool your home. Fujitsu air conditioners are considered the best in Australia when it comes to cooling homes and office buildings. However, even these air conditioners can’t effectively provide cooling to you if they are poorly maintained. Aircon maintenance is something that you shouldn’t neglect. Still, most people don’t give much attention to it. A Fujitsu air conditioner is supposed to save you money on your energy bills but if it is not maintained regularly, it is going to do the opposite. So, how should you maintain your Fujitsu air conditioner? Here is how.

Clean the Filters of the Indoor Unit

The indoor unit of a Fujitsu air conditioner has filters located inside it which are there to prevent dust particles from entering the air conditioner. This dust continues to accumulate on the filters if the air conditioner is regularly used. Now, if this dust is not cleaned from time to time, it is going to restrict airflow. This restriction in airflow is going to cause the air conditioner to take longer to cool the room. The air conditioner will run longer and thus, consume more power, resulting in an increase in your energy bills. So, if you don’t want all that then you should clean these filters on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.

Remove Debris from the Outdoor Unit

Just like the indoor unit has filters, the outdoor unit of a Fujitsu air conditioner has fins. These fins are responsible for cooling the warm air coming from the indoor unit. If these fins have debris on them or their movement is restricted then they won’t be able to effectively cool the warm air. This will again cause the compressor of the air conditioner to work overtime, causing a hike in the energy bills. A simple way to avoid this is to make sure that the outdoor unit is debris-free and there is nothing restricting the movement of its fins.

Invest in Professional Servicing

While cleaning the filters of the indoor unit and removing the debris from the fins of the outdoor unit help, they aren’t enough. You need to have your Fujitsu air conditioner serviced by a professional at least twice a year. The professional you choose for this purpose needs to be a licensed air conditioner technician. They can take a look at the internal components of the air conditioner and make sure that everything is working as it is supposed to be. Moreover, they can also detect and resolve any issues that might be developing within the air conditioner. 

Don’t Set the Temperature too Low

On hot summer days, you might be tempted to set the air conditioner at its coldest setting. However, setting the temperature too low won’t cool your home quickly. In fact, it will simply put pressure on the system and can lead to a fault. This is why Fujitsu air conditioners should be operated at temperatures higher than 23 degrees Celsius.
