Be Smart with Ducted Air Conditioning in Brisbane and the New Mitsubishi WiFi Controllers

August 29, 2015 by Webgator

Brisbane Air is proud to announce the new Wi-Fi controllers. Created to suit busy ‘Brisbanite’ lifestyles, these Wi-fi controllers unlock the door to smarter cooling and heating.

With the new smart Mitsubishi Electric WiFi controllers, you can control your home and/ or commercial air conditioning on-the-go via an internet connection and your smart phone.

What this means is that the new Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Control gives you the freedom to tailor your heating and cooling needs with the touch of a button from anywhere to save time, money and energy.

We suggest adding these controllers to your new ducted air conditioning systems and wall hung split system air conditioners for both residential systems and commercial systems for even higher levels of energy efficiency, as the Mitsubishi Electric WiFi controllers unlocks these extra control benefits, for additional control, wherever you are.

Why use Mitsubishi Electric WiFi controllers?

The WiFi controllers allow you to remotely manage each area where air conditioning and the wifi controller is installed. With advanced software features each room can be individually monitored and adjusted.

For better efficiency, your ducted air conditioning can be monitored and adjusted as maximum and minimum temperatures are reached – all determined by the built in software and sensors.

Not only is this function ideal for businesses and home residences, but especially for children’s rooms and every room in a building. Want the lounge cooler or your child’s room a little warmer? No worries. Want to make the warehouse a little colder? You can do that too. The controller features a full range of options, including auto, heat, dry, fan speeds and cool.

When you install a WiFi control adapter on each of your indoor units, you’ll find that the whole system becomes a seamless and integrated unit. Click here for an interactive demonstration.

Benefit from extra flexibility

Your air conditioning unit is working hard. Does it really need to be on now? You’re burning money in the home and office, in the past, there’d be nothing you could do. Until now…

With Mitsubishi WiFi controllers installed, remote adjustments are possible. Making rooms hot or cold in advance. No more waste. No more worry. No more worry about your stock perishing or after thoughts after leaving on a big trip.

The app tells you if your unit is on or off, wherever you are. This is particularly suitable for temperature sensitive situations such as a florist, pet store or any situation where the delicate range of temperatures need to be consistently monitored.

What’s next?

Start benefitting from ducted air conditioning and Mitsubishi Electric WiFi controllers now. It’s easy to connect to your home or office air conditioning, and have control at your fingertips.

Brisbane Winter is Upon US! And So Is Commercial Air Conditioning

June 17, 2016 by Webgator

“Winter is the perfect time to look after commercial air conditioning.”

New air conditioning compressor near the wall It might seem strange to talk about commercial air conditioning in Brisbane during the winter, especially when we’ve not long since suffered the coldest winter temperatures for more than 100 years, but if you have employees who feel unable to take their coat off in the office – the very ones who were continually sweating last summer – you are in need of some serious commercial air conditioning care now. Here are a few reasons why the winter is Brisbane is exactly the right time to tend to your commercial air conditioning:

#1. AIR CONDITIONING IS FOR WINTER, TOO

There’s a popular misconception that air conditioning is a necessity only for summer. Our workplaces are like thermos flasks in reverse: without heat regulation they’ll keep us cold in winter and hot in summer. Opening doors and windows only adds a security risk when it’s hot: if there’s no air, then it’s a futile exercise.
In the winter, air conditioning is used to heat internal ambient temperatures. That means your employees will be working in the ideal environment all year round.

#2. WARMING A COLD OFFICE

Commercial air conditioning works in a number of ways. In the winter, a reverse cycle air conditioner simply reverses the process it uses during the summer. Instead of taking hot air from the inside, cooling it and circulating, the refrigerant can take heat form the air (even from outside, and even in winter) and use it to warm the office.

#3. REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS

Some employers believe that the winter is a time to reduce energy bills, and that air conditioning is a prime target. This could be a false economy. Leave commercial air conditioning turned off for a period of time and it could mean a larger bill when you turn it back on in the summer and find it’s not working effectively. By running during the winter, you’ll keep on top of maintenance more easily – and if there is any maintenance required, it’s unlikely to be an expensive and major overhaul.

#4. DRIVE A HOT BARGAIN IN THE COLD WEATHER

Most air conditioning companies are quieter in the winter, so this is an ideal time to make a purchase. May might be the best time to buy commercial air conditioning, but June and July are not far behind.

#5. HURRY TO BENEFIT FROM A BONUS EFTPOS CASH CARD

If you are considering investing in new commercial air conditioning, until the end of June Brisbane Air have once again partnered with Mitsubishi Electric to offer our clients a bonus Eftpos Cash Card worth up to $500. On top of this, our top-rated local and technical knowledge means we’re happy to offer a comprehensive 5-year warranty on all new commercial air conditioning installations.

By caring for your commercial air conditioning in the winter, you’ll not only benefit your employees, you’ll benefit your bottom line, too.

To find out how your business can benefit from commercial air conditioning designed to provide benefits every working day of the year, contact Brisbane Air today.

Five Reasons Why May Is The Best Time to Buy Commercial Air Conditioning

May 13, 2016 by Webgator

“The cooler weather offers the best buying opportunity.”

Air Conditioner If you’re looking for commercial air conditioning, the month of May is the absolute best time of year to search. Here are a couple reasons why May is the best time to buy.

#1. Less Stress For Commercial Air Conditioning In May

Most people – especially businesses– forget about their failing air conditioning unit as soon as the cooler weather arrives. That’s a mistake. Not only will prices be higher when the summer comes around again, but every man and his horse will be battling for to have a unit installed.
We find that engineers will be pushed to capacity working around the clock, and usually, the best contractors are already on jobs. This means either using less experienced engineers or having to have your staff swelter in the hot months.

#2. A Chance To Measure Your Options

As the weather cools, now is the time to plan for a more productive summer next year. Measure up your space, and review your current air conditioning system. Why isn’t it man enough for the job? It could be that it’s old, tired, and unable to cool like it used to.
Or maybe your cooling needs have changed. You might have more equipment giving out more heat, or you may employ more people in the same room. Also, your offices might have been redesigned, and the air con hasn’t kept pace.

#3. New 2016 Features

Technology is advancing, so is air conditioning. Consider WiFi controllers or perhaps you want a uniform atmosphere in the entire office. New systems are also more energy efficient and cost a lot less to run. Once you know what you want and why, then it will be time to call for expert help.

#4. Easier Access To Professionals

With less demand for their time and services, it will be easier to get an air con specialist to discuss your needs. Let the expert create the best system for you. With fewer buyers in the market, and you’ll be able to take advantage of the best providers.

Here’s a tip to make the most of your time with an air con expert: although you know what you want, prepare to ask the right questions and be flexible – there may be a great solution to your needs that you haven’t yet thought of and that might even be cheaper than your budget.

#5. Time To Do A Deal

If you’ve had a sweltering summer, for the best commercial air conditioning and great promotional offers, May is definitely the month to make a deal. For more information or to get a quick free quote, contact Brisbane Air today.

Be Cool with School Air Conditioning

July 17, 2015 by Webgator

School Air Conditioning If children complain about being unable to concentrate in class, one of the most likely causes is classroom temperature. Schools in which children regularly work in classroom temperatures of 28 degrees or higher may find themselves with lower than average examination results, and a problem with aggressive behaviour among their students!

For schools and colleges that want to up results and grades, and benefit from a happier learning environment, air conditioning commonly seen as a ‘must have’. However, despite these benefits, installation of air conditioning also raises questions about cost and architectural impact. The outcomes for schools that benefit from air conditioning surprises many ‘old school’ types (the ones who like to tell everyone that “In my day we weren’t spoiled with air conditioning. What are the kids of today complaining about?”).

Comprehension and concentration drops in the heat

Students that berate their teachers with complaints about the heat, hair plastered to their foreheads, and eyes dropping heavily, aren’t deliberately swinging the lead. Plenty of medical studies (and as reviewed by Professor Michael Nagel of the University of the Sunshine Coast) show that the brain begins to close down at 28 degrees.

By the time the temperature hits 30 degrees, the brain has begun to seek survival. Teachers asking their pupils to add two numbers together in such conditions are likely to be answered with blank faces and head scratching. Perhaps worse, high temperatures also affect the brain’s neurotransmitters – leading to disruptive behaviour which might otherwise be out-of-character.

Despite such medical evidence, Queensland has no upper temperature limit in its classrooms. However, this may be due to the perceived cost of installation of air conditioning: with no upper limit enforced, it is the responsibility of individual schools to foot the bill.

Cooling classes doesn’t have to be costly

The running cost of air conditioning in a school also surprises most. Ducted air conditioners allow different classrooms to be cooled to different levels from a central control panel. Timers can be used to make sure separate zones are switched off entirely when empty (and turned on manually when in use if outside the usual timetable). This means running costs are way lower than many would expect: comfort is maintained in an energy saving environment. Always conscious of costs, many of Brisbane’s businesses have chosen ducted air conditioning because of these benefits.

Architectural anonymity of schools air conditioning

Many schools, especially those with older buildings, are reticent to invest in air conditioning because of the potential architectural impact. However, modern units can be easily concealed, and silent running units produce virtually no noise pollution. From the outside, school buildings will maintain their traditional lines. Inside, students will be able to work in comfort and silence. One of Brisbane Air’s recommended manufacturers, Mitsubishi, has had its air conditioning installed in schools such as Brisbane Girls Grammar for reasons of cost, comfort, and design.

Benefit from the advantages of air conditioning in your school

The needs of every school vary. With more than three decades serving the Brisbane community with its air conditioning needs, Brisbane Airs’ technical experts are perfectly positioned to advice your school or college as to its exact air conditioning needs.

We’ll work with you to meet your aims and within your budget. You’ll be left with a more harmonious, hardworking student base. Your truancy figures will fall, tested results improve, and papers will no longer have to be chased across a classroom when an unexpected gust of wind blows through an open window.

Ducted Air Conditioning Brisbane

Ducted air conditioning systems in Brisbane offer excellent value for money for the energy conscious user, whether used in the home or a commercial environment. Cool (or warm) air is piped through specially designed ductwork hidden in roof and ceiling spaces, with the air conditioning engine rooms (the air handling and compressor units) located out of site and some distance away. This makes for an almost silent system which can be controlled flexibly and in line with the user’s requirements.

When you contract Brisbane Air to install your ducted air conditioning, we’ll advise you on all required aspects: from the most appropriate energy efficient units to how best to ‘zone’ your system.

The ability to zone ducted air conditioning offers both cost and comfort benefits. The ducted air conditioning system can be set to let air flow to only those areas that are being used. This can be controlled manually or by pre-set timer, providing highly customised air conditioning settings and further increasing energy efficiencies. It’s ideal for homes where families use several rooms at the same time (perhaps with the kitchen and lounge being used by parents and teenagers busy doing their homework in their bedrooms), or buildings where employees move from office to office, room-to-room.

Because of the range of benefits, ducted air conditioning is increasingly used as standard in new builds and as replacement systems in existing homes. It’s quiet, energy efficient, and provides a flow of filtered air where it’s most needed and when it’s needed.

Air Conditioning troubleshooting tips

May 12, 2014 by Brisbane Air

On a hot summer’s day, there is nothing worse than finding your air conditioning system is not working properly (or at all). It can be frustrating and annoying. Even worse, you may have to wait for a technician to come out to affect a repair.

Most modern air conditioning units are very robust, and with proper maintenance and regular service visits from a qualified engineer you will enjoy years of trouble free operation. But what can you do if there is a problem?

Start with the basics

There are several things you can check and resolve in a few minutes. Start at the beginning and eliminate the most obvious causes first.

If the air conditioning unit is not working, the first thing you should check is the power. It may be something as simple as a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. This is the easiest repair to make, but if it breaks down again quickly there may be a bigger problem with the air conditioning unit itself. In such a case you will need to call a service technician.

Next on your checklist should be the thermostat settings: try reducing the temperature by 5 degrees. A thermostat set too high may result in the air conditioner running unevenly, or not at all, and inadequately cooling the room.

Finally, check the air conditioning unit is clean and free of dust and dirt. The outside unit in particular can suffer if there are weeds or bushes growing in close proximity. Make sure they are trimmed, and cut back to ensure there are no obstructions.

You’ve checked the obvious and the unit still isn’t working properly

Once you’ve checked these basics, it is best not to try and resolve any further issues by yourself. In trying to fix more complex problems, you may cause more harm. Instead, call a professional and let them diagnose the cause of your air conditioning issues.

An experienced service engineer will check refrigerant levels and search for leaks, test and check for noise and vibration, as well as checking switches and cut-outs. They will correct amperage currents of units and motors, and lubricate accessible bearings.

Prevention is better than cure

Here at Brisbane Air we have been installing, servicing and repairing air conditioning units in Brisbane for more than 30 years. We put this experience to use to bring the best service to our customers, and recommend that residential customers should have their system serviced at least every 18 months.

Even the newest, most advanced systems will benefit from a regular maintenance program. Regular servicing will save you money in the long run, and keep your air conditioning system working at peak efficiency no matter how hot the Summer.
