### Air conditioning

- [Air conditioning support articles](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/): Choosing, running and looking after air conditioning at home.
- [Can solar panels run my air conditioner at night?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/can-solar-panels-run-my-air-conditioner/): Solar can power your air conditioner while the sun is up. After dark it runs on the grid or a home battery, and what a battery can carry varies.
- [What should I ask before getting an air conditioner installed?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/questions-to-ask-before-air-conditioner-installation/): Ask who is doing the work and what licences they hold, how the size and position were chosen, what the quote covers, and what happens after handover.
- [What temperature should I set my air conditioner to in summer?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/what-temperature-set-air-conditioner-queensland-summer/): Most people are comfortable at about 24 to 26 degrees in a Queensland summer. Adjust gradually, allow for humidity, and call an installer if the unit struggles.
- [Why is my air conditioner not cooling or heating properly?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-not-cooling-or-heating/): Weak cooling or heating usually comes from airflow, settings, sizing or refrigerant problems, and some of these need a licensed technician.
- [Why is my air conditioner leaking water inside?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-leaking-water-inside/): Water dripping from an indoor unit usually means the condensation drain is blocked or the unit is icing up, and a technician should look at it.
- [Why does my air conditioner smell musty or like dirty socks?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-smells-musty-dirty-socks/): A musty or dirty-sock smell usually means moisture and mould or bacteria are building up inside the unit, which a technician can deal with.
- [Why is my air conditioner making a loud or strange noise?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-making-loud-strange-noise/): Rattling, buzzing, grinding or squealing can mean loose parts, a failing fan or compressor, or an electrical fault, so stop and get it checked.
- [Why is there ice or frost on my air conditioner?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/ice-frost-on-air-conditioner/): Some frost on an outdoor unit in heating mode is normal, but ice on an indoor unit or on a unit in cooling mode points to a fault.
- [What do air conditioner flashing lights and error codes mean?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-flashing-lights-error-codes/): Flashing lights and error codes are the unit's way of reporting a fault, and the meaning depends on your model, so note the pattern and call.
- [Why does my air conditioner keep tripping the breaker?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-tripping-breaker-safety-switch/): An air conditioner that trips the breaker or safety switch has an overload or fault that a licensed electrician needs to find.
- [Why does my air conditioner keep turning on and off?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-turning-on-and-off/): An air conditioner that starts and stops repeatedly, called short cycling, often comes from sizing, airflow or a fault, and needs a technician.
- [Should I choose a split system or ducted air conditioning?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/split-system-vs-ducted-air-conditioning/): Split systems suit one or a few rooms, while ducted systems suit whole-home comfort if the roof or floor space allows, so get an on-site assessment.
- [What size air conditioner do I need for my room or home?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/what-size-air-conditioner-do-i-need/): The right kW size depends on room size, ceiling height, sun, insulation and layout, so a licensed professional should assess it.
- [What affects how much it costs to run an air conditioner?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/what-affects-air-conditioner-running-costs/): Running costs depend on your electricity plan, how long and how hard the unit runs, its efficiency and size, and your home.
- [How often does an air conditioner need servicing?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/how-often-air-conditioner-servicing/): Many manufacturers and installers advise servicing every one to two years, but follow your manual and warranty and use a licensed technician.
- [Can I use my air conditioner during a blackout or storm?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/air-conditioner-blackout-storm/): An air conditioner cannot run without power, and storms and power returning can damage it, so ask a licensed electrician about protection.
- [Can I install an air conditioner myself in Australia?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/install-air-conditioner-myself-australia/): No. Installation involves refrigerant that needs an ARC licence and an electrical connection that needs a licensed electrician.
- [Can renters install an air conditioner in Queensland?](https://arlite.co/support/air-conditioning/rental-body-corporate-air-conditioner-queensland/): Renters need the owner's written approval, and apartment owners usually need body corporate approval, before a fixed air conditioner is installed.

### Costs and finance

Learn what drives the price and what to ask installers before you decide.
- [Can I get compensation for a power outage in Queensland?](https://arlite.co/support/costs-and-finance/power-outage-compensation-energex/): Some network providers run service-standard payment schemes for certain outages, but eligibility varies, so check your provider's official page.
- [How much does an electrician cost per hour in Brisbane?](https://arlite.co/support/costs-and-finance/electrician-cost-brisbane/): Electrician pricing in Brisbane depends on call-out, hourly or fixed quotes, timing and materials, so compare written quotes like for like.
- [What affects switchboard upgrade cost?](https://arlite.co/support/costs-and-finance/switchboard-upgrade-cost/): Switchboard upgrade cost depends on board size, access, the site and what else you are adding, so get a written quote after an inspection.
- [High electricity bill? Where the power is going](https://arlite.co/support/costs-and-finance/why-is-my-power-bill-so-high/): High bills usually come from cooling, hot water, older appliances, standby power or a plan that no longer suits your household.
- [Does unlicensed electrical work void your home insurance?](https://arlite.co/support/costs-and-finance/diy-electrical-work-insurance/): It can affect a claim, but policies differ, so check your own policy wording and keep paperwork showing a licensed electrician did the work.

- [Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/circuit-breaker-keeps-tripping/): A breaker keeps tripping when a circuit is overloaded, shorted or leaking, or the breaker is worn; a licensed electrician should find which.
- [Why does my safety switch keep tripping?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/safety-switch-keeps-tripping/): A safety switch keeps tripping when it detects current leaking to earth, such as from a faulty appliance or moisture; never bypass it.
- [What happens if I can’t reset the safety switch?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/safety-switch-wont-reset/): A safety switch that will not stay on means a fault on its circuit; do not force it, note what is affected and call a licensed electrician.

- [Do power points expire, and when should they be replaced?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/do-power-points-wear-out/): Power points have no fixed expiry date but they wear out; scorch marks, cracks, loose plugs or buzzing mean a licensed electrician should look at them.
- [Why is my house the only one without power?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/only-my-house-no-power/): If neighbours still have power, the fault may be in your home's own electrical installation; check the outage map and call a licensed electrician.

- [Is it safe to run the clothes dryer when you’re not home?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/run-dryer-when-not-home/): Fire services advise against leaving a clothes dryer running when you are out or asleep, so run it while you are home and awake.

- [Why is my ceiling fan wobbling or humming?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/ceiling-fan-wobble-humming/): A wobbling fan may be unbalanced or loosely mounted and a humming one may have a control or capacitor issue; a loose fan can fall.
- [Do I need a switchboard upgrade?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/do-i-need-a-switchboard-upgrade/): Old fuses, frequent tripping, burn marks, no safety switches or new solar, EV or air conditioning loads are reasons to ask about an upgrade.
- [Does my house need rewiring? Signs and what to do](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/does-my-house-need-rewiring/): Age alone does not decide it; a licensed electrician's inspection does, and warning signs include frequent tripping, flickering and burning smells.
- [Do I need whole-house surge protection?](https://arlite.co/support/electrical/whole-house-surge-protection/): Whole-house surge protection is not compulsory and cannot guarantee protection from a direct strike; a licensed electrician can advise if it suits you.

### Solar

- [Solar support articles](https://arlite.co/support/solar/): How solar systems work, what the parts do and what to check when something looks off.
- [Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/add-battery-to-existing-solar-system/): Often, yes, but it depends on your existing inverter, your switchboard and where a battery can go, so a licensed installer needs to assess your home first.
- [Hail or storm damage to solar panels: what to do](https://arlite.co/support/solar/hail-storm-damaged-solar-panels-what-to-do/): Stay on the ground, photograph the damage from a safe distance, note what your app shows, tell your insurer, then have a licensed installer inspect the system.
- [How can I tell if my solar system is underperforming?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/how-to-tell-if-solar-is-underperforming/): Compare your app or inverter display on similar sunny days, look for error messages and bill changes, and call a licensed installer if something looks wrong.
- [How does a solar power system work in a Brisbane home?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/how-does-a-solar-power-system-work-in-a-brisbane-home/): A plain-English walk through the panels, inverter, meter, grid and optional battery, and why your output rises and falls through the day.
- [How do I turn off a solar inverter safely?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/turn-off-solar-inverter-safely/): Panels make power whenever light hits them, so shutdown should be done by your installer or a licensed electrician, not by guesswork.
- [How do I restart my solar system after a shutdown?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/restart-solar-system/): Restart your solar system only to your installer's or manufacturer's instructions, and expect a waiting period before it exports power again.
- [Do solar panels work during a blackout?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/solar-during-power-outage/): Most grid-connected solar shuts down in a blackout to protect line workers, so backup power needs a battery set up for it.
- [Why is my solar inverter showing a red light or error?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/solar-inverter-red-light-fault/): A red light or error means the inverter has detected a condition; note the code and call a licensed installer, and do not open the unit.
- [Should I turn off my solar before a cyclone, flood or storm?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/shut-down-solar-before-storm/): Energex has published shutdown guidance for cyclones; follow it with your installer's advice, never go on the roof, and get storm damage inspected.
- [Why is my solar export limited?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/solar-export-limit-energex/): Your network provider sets how much solar power your home can send to the grid, so limited export is usually a rule, not a fault.
- [Are home batteries safe, and can I put one in the garage?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/home-battery-safety-garage/): Home batteries installed to the standard by an accredited installer are designed to be safe, but where one can go depends on its type and the rules.
- [Is my rooftop DC isolator a fire risk?](https://arlite.co/support/solar/solar-dc-isolator-recall-check/): Some solar DC isolators have been subject to safety notices; do not touch yours, and check the make against the regulator's list.
