If your existing air conditioning system is 10 years old or more, now is the time to consider updating it for a number of reasons; The operating efficiency of air conditioning systems has improved greatly over the past 10 years, allowing considerable savings to be made in terms of running costs and general reliability.

Technological advancements and higher volume production through increasing demand means the price of air conditioning equipment has greatly reduced. Initial outlay will be considerably less than for an equivalent system bought a decade ago. New technology has allowed for smaller components on refrigeration, compressors and heat exchange equipment. Today’s more compact systems will be able to free up valuable - even letable space, Systems over 10 years old may have required a separate heating facility whereas today heat pump air conditioning systems provide highly efficient year round heating or cooling as required. Highly efficient Inverter technology systems now qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowance tax breaks. The most important reason you should consider renewing your older air conditioning system is that time may be running out on its serviceability.
