Types of Air Conditioning Systems We Install, Service & Repair

Several types of air conditioning systems are available, each with unique features and applications. We Install, Service & Repair them all.

The three most common types are split, central, and multi-split systems.

Split System

Split systems consist of indoor and outdoor units connected by refrigerant piping. These systems are ideal for cooling single rooms or small spaces, offering a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for temperature control.

Multi-Split System

Multi-split systems involve multiple indoor units connected to a single outdoor unit. This configuration allows for independent temperature control in different rooms of the property.

Central System

Central systems, also known as ducted systems, use a network of ducts to circulate cooled air throughout an entire building. This type of system is suitable for more significant properties requiring consistent temperature control and a more uniform distribution of cooled air.

Installation Services

TM Hughes & Son provides a smooth and efficient installation process, beginning with a free survey and no-obligation quote followed by a stringent installation procedure.

Free Survey & No-Obligation Quote

Before installation begins, we undertake a free survey to assess your property’s cooling requirements.

This survey involves an engineer visiting your property, inspecting your spaces and determining the most suitable Air Conditioning system based on the size and layout of your home/business and your specific requirements.

Following the survey, you’ll receive a written quote.

Installation Procedure

Once the appropriate air conditioning system has been identified, the system and other materials have been obtained, and a date has been agreed upon, the installation procedure can commence.

Installations are meticulously planned so minimal disruption is caused to your home life/workday.

You’ll be provided an estimated timeline for completing the work during the survey. Our engineers continuously work in a tidy and efficient manner.

The procedure varies depending on the type of system being installed.

Split System Installation

For split systems, engineers will select the optimal locations for both the indoor and outdoor units, ensuring minimal noise and maximum efficiency. The indoor and outdoor units are then securely installed, and the refrigerant piping is connected.

Multi-Split System Installation

When installing a multi-split system, engineers will determine the best configuration and positioning of the indoor units to maximize comfort and energy efficiency. In addition, each indoor unit will be placed to provide optimal temperature control in its designated room.

Central System Installation

Central system installations involve designing and installing a custom ductwork system that suits the property’s layout and cooling requirements.

This process ensures even temperature distribution and efficient cooling throughout the building.

Setting & Testing

Once the Air Conditioning installation is completed, the system is set and thoroughly tested to ensure it works properly and runs efficiently.

Our engineer will provide a demonstration, so you know how to use your Air Conditioning system and get the most out of it.

Service and Maintenance

Service and maintenance are vital for keeping your Air Conditioning system functioning optimally and preventing costly breakdowns.

Our engineers provide routine Servicing for all air conditioning units, ensuring they run efficiently and safely.

It’s recommended you have your Air Conditioning serviced annually.

Service Procedure

The service procedure includes inspecting and cleaning the system, filter replacement, and a performance assessment to identify potential issues that may require attention.

Inspection and Cleaning

Our engineer will inspect the air conditioning system for any visible signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. They will also clean the various components, including the indoor and outdoor units, to remove dust, debris, and any other obstructions that may hinder performance.

Filter Replacement

Replacing the air filter is an essential part of air conditioning maintenance. A clean filter improves airflow, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

Our engineer will replace the filter with a new one or clean reusable filters to maintain the system’s efficiency.

Performance Assessment

After completing the inspection, cleaning, and filter replacement, Our engineer will assess the system’s performance to ensure it’s running optimally. The engineer will check for issues, such as refrigerant leaks, abnormal noises, or temperature inconsistencies, and recommend any necessary repairs or adjustments.

Repairs

Air conditioning units can sometimes develop issues or breakdowns, requiring prompt repairs to prevent further damage and restore the system to full working order.

TM Hughes & Son offers repair services for all systems, addressing common problems such as refrigerant leaks, compressor issues, and thermostat malfunctions.

Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant leaks result in reduced cooling efficiency and increased energy consumption. So we’ll locate and repair the leak and recharge the system with the appropriate amount of refrigerant.

Compressor Issues

The compressor is a vital air conditioning system component responsible for circulating refrigerant. If the compressor fails or malfunctions, the system will not cool effectively. An engineer will diagnose and repair or replace the compressor as needed.

Faulty Capacitors

Capacitors regulate the flow of electrical current to the air conditioning system’s motors. If a capacitor fails, the system may not start or run at the reduced performance.

Malfunctioning Thermostats

A malfunctioning thermostat can result in temperature inconsistencies, and faulty thermostats are located and replaced.

Clogged Drain Lines

Clogged drain lines can cause water to back up and damage the air conditioning system. Regular servicing will help prevent this issue, but an engineer will clear the obstruction and ensure proper drainage if a blockage occurs.
