How We Write Our Air Conditioning Guides
What our guides are for, how they are checked, and how to tell us when something is wrong.
What our guides are for
Rapid Air Cooling guides are written to help households work out what is wrong with an air conditioner, which checks are safe to do themselves, and when a job needs a technician. They cover the brands we book technicians for most often, including Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Samsung and LG.
How each guide is checked
- Fault codes, symbols, reset steps and service intervals are checked against the manufacturer’s own manual or support pages for the brand the guide covers.
- Where a manufacturer does not publish a figure, we do not invent one. We say so, or we leave it out.
- We only give do-it-yourself steps that an owner can do safely: remote settings, filters, switches and breakers.
- We do not give instructions for refrigerant or electrical work. In Australia refrigerant work must be done by an ARCtick-licensed technician, and the technicians who attend our jobs hold that licence.
How these guides are made: we draft guides with the help of AI writing tools. Before a guide is published, a person checks every code, setting and safety step against the manufacturer’s manual, and we record who checked it and when.
Prices
We only publish prices that come from real jobs. Where a price depends on the unit, access and parts, the guide explains what drives the cost and we give a firm quote after diagnosis.
Updates and corrections
When a manufacturer changes a fault code, a procedure or a model range, we update the guide. If you spot a mistake, please tell us through the contact form and we will check it and correct the guide.
