Some bright spark thought it would be a good idea to blue point and then wrap this mains electrical connection with a little tape and stuff it in the air conditioning caping. Problem was they also thought it would be a good idea to just push the drain hose onto the unit outlet and not bother glueing it. Result water dripping onto the termination and the inevitable blowing of circuit breakers. Some days I just cant scratch my head enough.

A few years ago finding workmanship like this was rare but lately seeing more and more installations of this quality. Not sure if it is a money saving thing during these tough times or just an increase in shody tradies. Please if you are employing trades to carry out work check they are licenced and insured. The electrical work on this little beauty could turn serious if the steel sheet should wear through the cable insulation.

Swap over carried out last week. Believe it or not the old unit was still working when we arrived despite the base having fully rusted out and compressor being held in by cable and pipe work alone. Always nice when we can ensure the house hold will remain nice and comfy through this winter season.

Replaced a wall split system for a customer last week. Recon the last installer must have been down to the last scraps of cable in his box to need to make so many joits in a 3 meter cable run.

And another little example of why water marks are appearing on the indoor ceiling. Pipe work had been installed in the standard splitty basher style with refrigerant pipe work run through a standard decktite and filled with silicon sealent. The old white pipe insulation is not UV tolerant and as such breaks down over time allowing not only rain but any condensation that forms on the cold pipes to run back down into the roof. Unit was removed from the roof and new system installed at ground level. Tile was replaced for a new one.

Called to a house right next to the water at Middleton yesterday. Daikin circuit board corroded out with salt spray and replaced for the customer. Unit had been serviced in the last month but no mention of the corrosion on the board or the base of the fan motor stand. Stand very nearly snapped when the front cover was removed. Not sure what was done under the service but obviously no one removed the outdoor cover. New fan stand on order.

Carried out a little high wall split service yesterday. Big thanks to the lovely owners for letting me get stuck in. Been a few years since this poor old girl had been serviced. MOuse intrusion had left pipe work uninsulated with possible water staining down wall surface, Build up of black mould and general heavy dirt build up. Full strip down and clean and unit up and running. Better efficency and a lot healthier.
Sometimes its hard to tell how bad your unit is getting untill someone opens it up. Couple of befroe and after photos.
