4 big reasons why your AC needs gecko treatment now
Gecko damage is a frequent problem in Australia, especially in warmer northern regions like Queensland. Though summer hasn’t arrived yet, in winter geckos are attracted to warm, enclosed spaces like the inside of air conditioners to escape the cold.
Here 4 reasons why you should consider gecko treatment for your AC during this time:
Preventative maintenance – key to reduce damage later
By protecting your AC now, you lower the risk of geckos causing trouble when the weather gets hotter. Geckos breed more in the heat so early action keeps your unit safe before the season arrives. Even if they seem quiet in winter, preventative maintenance makes sure your AC is ready and protected before you need it most.
Saves you from expensive AC repairs
If a gecko gets into your AC, it can touch live wires and cause a short circuit. This usually burns the circuit board. Replacing one in Australia is not cheap, it costs between $130 and $500 AUD. Most warranties don’t cover gecko damage so getting protection early can save you a lot of money.
Beating the summer rush
Summer is the busiest time for AC repairs as AC breakdowns are more common during hot weather. Therefore, early preventative maintenance helps you spot problems before they get serious. Besides gecko damage, technicians can catch and fix minor issues (like worn parts, dirty filters or leaking refrigerant).
Lower technician demand at this time
During summer, most AC companies in Australia get fully booked because everyone wants cooling at once. That means you could wait days or even weeks for a technician. But at the end of winter, demand is much lower, so it’s easier to book a time without the long wait.
