How often should you service your air conditioning?
You might be wondering how often you should get your air conditioner serviced. Apart from needing to call in the experts if you are experiencing a problem with your air conditioner, e.g. thermostat issues, becoming very noisy or leaking to repair your unit, generally having your split system unit serviced once a year is recommended.
Important note - Your air conditioner model warranty may set out specific service intervals for you to follow.
Air conditioners are a big investment, and you want to make sure you’re taking care of them so they can provide the perfect temperature with all year round and ensure the long life of the unit. We know it can be tough keeping track of everything, but having your air conditioner serviced will give you peace of mind that your unit will not stop working at the worst possible time.
Whether you have a split system air conditioner or a ducted air conditioner in a residential property, your unit requires a service at least every 12 months.
We recommend that reverse cycle air conditioning systems are serviced twice a year, before summer and again before winter.
Commercial units which get ongoing use every workday may need more frequent maintenance. Speak to your local air conditioning technician for specific advice for your unit.
Reasons to service your air conditioner regularly
- Your air conditioner will function efficiently, and save you money on power bills.
- Ensure reliability - regular servicing ensures the system runs all year round.
- Extend the life of the aircon system - faulty air conditioners wear out quicker than well-maintained units do. This also reduces replacement costs in the long term.
- Uncover issues early - many small problems are discovered during servicing allowing for repairs to be carried out before larger issues develop.
- Keep the air clean - cleaning and servicing ducts, filters, coils, fins, and other internal components help to provide clean, fresh air throughout the building.
- Maintain efficiency - keeping running costs as low as possible by ensuring the system is running at its most efficient.
- Reducing breakdowns at peak time - steaming hot summer days when the air conditioning system is working the hardest and when you need it the most tends to be when failures occur. Keeping the system in top condition reduces the chance of disruptions.
