Maintenance

Maintenance is important to carry out annually. Max Cooling offers a high quality, low cost service which prolongs the life of your system. This produces greater efficiency and maintains a safe environment.

As air travels through the indoor unit coil, dust and various bacteria collect on the filters.

Regular maintenance visits will control and preserve a healthy environment.

Reasons to maintain

Are you up to date with the latest F-gas Regulations?

In early July 2007, F-gas regulation No.842/2006 became law.

The above regulation places a legal responsibility on the owner/end users of installed refrigeration and air conditioning equipment in an effort to dramatically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as refrigerants.

As an owner/end user of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, it is your responsibility to ensure that the personnel you appoint to service and maintain your equipment are fully qualified and trained.

It is also the owner/end users responsibility to ensure that all new installed equipment has been clearly labelled with the type and amount of refrigerant it contains by the installers.

If your system does not receive regular maintenance, the following may incur;

• System will work harder and will suffer more wear and tear
   
• Greater amount of electricity consumed
   
• Less cooling/heating effect
   
• Noise levels rise
   
• Increasing the probability of breakdown
   
• Breakdown and repair charges can be expensive
     
• Appearance deteriorates rapidly
   
• Bacteria may cause illness

 

The lifetime of all your air conditioning and refrigeration equipment can be extended by Max Cooling, providing maintenance visits at regular intervals.

As the owner/end user, you are required to have your equipment leak tested regularly and repair any known leaks as soon as possible. It is also the responsibility of the owner/end user to keep records of the refrigerant type, quantity and any refrigerant lost or added on each individual unit on your premises.

As part of our services at Max Cooling, we will manage the documentation, administration and all of the above services free of charge for any new maintenance contract customers.

Max Cooling can offer a maintenance contract package for total piece of mind. We also offer a 24-hour 365-day emergency call-out service to all of our maintenance contract customers.
