Advice by First Air Conditioning.
Check the Mode and Temperature Setting
Check that the controller is set to cooling and the temperature is below the current room temperature. Review any timer settings and give the system time to respond. If the controls are unfamiliar, use the model manual. Make a note of any fault code rather than repeatedly resetting the equipment.
Check Accessible Filters and Airflow
A dirty filter or blocked indoor airflow can affect performance. Only clean user-serviceable filters according to the manufacturer instructions and when you can reach them safely. Keep furniture away from the airflow path. Avoid opening covers or reaching inside equipment to investigate.
Is the Problem in One Room or the Whole Home?
For ducted air conditioning, note which zones are on and whether the airflow differs between rooms. For multiple split systems, check whether the problem affects one unit or several. These observations help Simon understand the fault before a visit and distinguish a room-specific issue from a wider system problem.

Cooling Faults Need Diagnosis
Low refrigerant, controls, drainage-related faults and equipment problems need different repairs. A refrigerant top-up should not be assumed to solve weak cooling. If you notice a burning smell, electrical damage or repeated power tripping, stop using the air conditioner and arrange professional attention.
