Air Conditioning in New Riverwood Apartments
Newer buildings at Washington Park and in the renewal area are well sealed and insulated, so a correctly sized split system can keep a room comfortable without working too hard.
If yours does not seem to be coping, it is usually a filter, a setting or a service that is needed, rather than a new unit.

Riverwood Air Conditioning Questions
What mode should I use on my air conditioner?
Use cool on hot days, heat on cold days and dry on humid days that are not especially hot. Auto mode can work, but choosing the mode yourself often gives more predictable results.
How often should I clean the filter?
Every few weeks during heavy use. Most split systems have filters you can slide out and rinse with water, then let dry before refitting.
Why is my new apartment air conditioner not cooling well?
Common causes are the wrong mode, a dirty filter, windows left open or a blocked outdoor unit. If those are fine, book a service.
Do I need a professional service if I clean the filter myself?
Yes, once a year. A technician cleans the coils and drain and checks the parts you cannot reach.
Can you install air conditioning in my Riverwood house?
Yes. We install split, multi-split and zoned ducted systems for houses throughout Riverwood.
What licences does your team hold?
We hold ARC refrigerant licence AU54289, plus NSW contractor licence 329810C.
