4 Reasons To Upgrade Your Air Conditioner

1. Increase energy efficiency and precision
   Fixed-speed compressors from the previous generation have been replaced with smarter inverter-driven compressors, drastically reducing power consumption. Providing better performance, with more precise temperatures & consistent airflow. It will also have an instant impact on your energy bill. Ducted air conditioning units make up on average 40% of a regular energy bill. Recent tests indicate that older models can be 25% less energy efficient than newer models.



2. Reduce your Air Conditioners noise
   A noisy air conditioning unit can often make for irritable neighbours. While there are options to minimise the noise your unit emits, if your unit is old, the best option may be a replacement. Older units tend to have a louder operating sound than new models. An upgrade might be the present your neighbours have been seeking.
3. Guaranteed manufacturers warranty
   All new systems come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. But if your unit is over 5 years old, it will no longer be covered under warranty. As the unit starts to age, problems can arise, resulting in costly repairs no longer covered by warranty. Replacing your unit will kick-start a new warranty and safeguard you for the next 5 years. Plus you’ll have a brand new unit with less likely complications.
4. Newer technology & better performance
   Gone are the days of simple thermostats with four buttons and standard zoning options. Today’s systems allow complete air conditioning control for every single room. They can be accessed remotely on your phone and can be controlled on any device. A new unit update can give your home an instant technology update and a bit of extra street cred.
