You might be wondering how often you should get your air conditioner serviced. Apart from calling in the experts when there’s a problem — thermostat issues, a very noisy unit or a leak — having your split system serviced once a year is generally recommended.
Important note: your air conditioner’s warranty may set out specific service intervals for you to follow.
Air conditioners are a big investment, and you want to take care of them so they keep providing the perfect temperature all year round and enjoy a long life. Having your air conditioner serviced gives you peace of mind that it won’t stop working at the worst possible time.
- Whether you have a split system or a ducted air conditioner in a residential property, your unit requires a service at least every 12 months.
- We recommend reverse cycle air conditioning systems are serviced twice a year — before summer and again before winter.
- Commercial units in daily use may need more frequent maintenance. Speak to your local air conditioning technician for specific advice.
Reasons to service your air conditioner regularly
- Efficiency and lower bills — your air conditioner runs efficiently and saves you money on power bills.
- Reliability — regular servicing keeps the system running all year round.
- A longer lifespan — faulty air conditioners wear out quicker than well-maintained units, reducing replacement costs over the long term.
- Issues uncovered early — many small problems are found during servicing, allowing repairs before larger issues develop.
- Cleaner air — cleaning ducts, filters, coils and fins helps provide clean, fresh air throughout the building.
- Fewer breakdowns at peak times — failures tend to occur on steaming hot summer days when the system works hardest. Keeping it in top condition reduces disruptions.
