What’s involved in Fire Safety Compliance?
In any Queensland workplace, you would need to comply with State regulations when it comes to safety, including fire safety. These regulations define the standards to which Fire Safety equipment needs to comply. For instance, smoke alarms need to trigger appropriately. Emergency lighting and fire extinguishers need to be installed correctly, as directed by the authorities. Regular testing of these devices cannot be ignored. These matters are not up for debate. But you don’t need to fret over the details. Simply call AlphaCool. We can take care of your questions as well as your Fire Safety compliance. We’ll even schedule it, so you don’t need to worry about when it will next need your attention.
How do I keep my home cool without an enormous power bill?
Obviously, all situations are not the same. But some general advice would include turning on your air con a little earlier—before it gets too hot. This way, you won’t need to run it at full-tilt to bring the temperature down. Instead, you’ll achieve a more manageable starting point. Every degree lower that you set the air conditioner will cost you more per hour. You’re trying to keep it on “cruise control” rather than “pedal to the metal”. It will also help to keep your windows and blinds closed tightly. Further to this, hanging drapes over your blinds and keeping them closed too, will also help. Close the door to rooms you are not using. Shading exterior walls is another good idea. This can be done with judicious planting. Otherwise with awnings, aluminium shutters and the like.
How can I maximise the service life of my air conditioning system?
Regular preventative maintenance is the key to maximising the life of your air conditioner. It will keep it running more efficiently, for a start. The internal parts of the unit need regular cleaning, especially the filters. As you can imagine, as the filters clog, the unit’s fans become less effective. This is generally perceived by the user as a need to turn the air conditioner to a colder setting. Every degree colder you select is going to cost you more… noticeably. Something else to be aware of is that, if an appliance that gives off heat is near your air con’s thermostat, is can fool your air con into working harder as a consequence.
Why would I get an air conditioner from AlphaCool?

However, we also recommend air conditioners from leading manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Temper Zone and Australia’s own Actron Air.
