Buying Gold Coast Air Conditioning – Must Ask Questions

by Jeff on January 28, 2010

Here are some of the more important questions you need to ask if you are considering buying Gold Coast air conditioning.First, get references from happy customers.  If the air-conditioning experts you are considering using cannot give you references and testimonials, stay well away.

How rooms need air-conditioning at the same time?  If you have a large family and use every room in the house regularly then it may make sense to go for a centralised air-conditioning system.If you live alone and your house has six rooms but only two are used regularly, there may be savings in both initial costs and running costs by air conditioning only those two rooms. 

If you choose centralised whole house air-conditioning, be sure to discuss with your Gold Coast air-conditioning specialist how flexible the system will be once installed; can you easily shut off rooms not in use, for example? Also, the appearance of your air-conditioning may be a factor.Whole house ducted air-conditioning may look much better – window mounted air conditioners are never a work of art. Make sure you discuss with your air-conditioning specialist how pleasing the air conditioner will look once installed.

What arl the running costs of be?This can be an important environmental consideration.Your commitment to the planet may make it worthwhile to “Go Green”.  In considering running costs, you may also want to consider the environment into which you are placing the air-conditioner.  For example, is your roof insulated and are your windows tinted?  If not, will doing these things result in significant savings in the cost of running your air-conditioning?

Servicing requirements.How often does your Gold Coast air-conditioner need servicing and is it an expensive call out?Remember, Air Filters need regular maintenance; how quick and easy is this?Also check out callout times; you do not want to wait three days to get the problem fixed if you are sweltering in oppressive heat

Reliability.  Buying the cheapest Gold Coast air-conditioner you can get may turn out expensive in the end.  Use the Internet to do due diligence on the various air-conditioner makes and types, and once you have selected your air-conditioner, you should then “Google” the make and model + complaints / problems.

What sort of guarantee will you get from the various Gold Coast air conditioning specialists you approach?Make sure you get quotes from at least three air-conditioning companies, including the price and the guarantee.Finally, remember to check they have public liability insurance too.
