OX Airconditioner Owner Reveals 3 Key Checks Before Calling a Professional

As the long summer season approaches the end of May, temperatures are expected to rise between 43ºC and 53.8ºC, and we have recently experienced unpredictable rainfall. With this, OX Air Conditioner encourages home owners to be proactive in maintaining their air conditioning units to ensure optimal performance.

Raymond Lim, owner of OX, emphasizes three common reasons why your aircon might not be cooling. “There’s no need to panic if your aircon is blowing warm air. Before calling your technician, it helps to know these issues so you can better inform them of the problem,” says Lim.

Incorrect or Malfunctioning Remote or Thermostat Settings

Sometimes, the problem lies in the remote control or thermostat not working correctly, leading to inconsistent cooling from the aircon. When you set the remote to ‘cool’ or adjust the temperature, the unit may not respond properly. This could be due to prolonged hardware errors, needing battery replacement, or long-term issues that haven’t been addressed immediately.

Dirty Air Filter

Located at the front of air conditioning units, air filters can accumulate dust and debris over time, reducing airflow and causing the unit to cool more slowly. A visual inspection can reveal this issue; a filter that used to be white might look dirty gray. Regular cleaning with a brush or periodic replacement can significantly improve the performance of your unit.

Low Refrigerant Levels

If the aforementioned issues have been resolved and your aircon is still not cooling effectively, it might be due to low refrigerant levels. If the air coming out of your unit is warm or you hear strange noises, these are signs that the refrigerant level is incorrect and may need a refill.

By understanding these issues, owners can maintain their aircon units better. “Now is the right time to check your aircon while the weather is unpredictable,” says Lim, “But if problems persist, it’s best to consult a professional.”
