Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning Adelaide

How Does Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning Work?

Reverse cycle air conditioners are one of Adelaide’s most common heating and cooling solutions around the home. The system is split into two components, with the internal fan unit being mounted to the wall or in the ceiling. In Cooling mode the unit draws warm air in from inside of the home and circulates it over the coil which contains refrigerant. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, changes state and is circulated outside to the external condenser unit. There, the coil and the fan help to reject the heat causing the refrigerant to change state before the refrigerant begins the cycle again.

Reverse cycle air conditioners do all of this, but as the name suggests, they can be reversed and used for heating as well. When using your system as a heater the process is the opposite, with the system absorbing heat from outside the house and transferring it indoors to be dispersed in the house.

Common Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning Faults

Reverse cycle air conditioning is available in both split system and ducted designs, making it a versatile option for every home. Keeping cool in summer and warm in the winter months is a must for surviving the Adelaide climate, and that’s much simpler when your air conditioning is up to the task. It’s recommended that you service reverse cycle air conditioners each year to keep them in good condition. The best time to service your air conditioning is before summer so it is ready when it will need to work the hardest.

If your reverse cycle air conditioning isn’t working as well as it used to, you might be experiencing a common fault, such as:

• Mould build-up
• Blocked filters
• Electrical faults in circuit boards, thermostats or temperature sensors
• Low refrigerant in the system
• Blocked or dirty condenser
• Blocked condensation drains
• Failed motors

Running an air conditioner that’s experiencing a fault can cause major damage to the system. If you’re unsure, switch the system off and contact Air Conditioning Doctor so we can get the problem sorted.
