What is air conditioning servicing and maintenance?
Air conditioning servicing and maintenance is the process of inspecting an entire air conditioning system to determine if it is functioning at full capacity. It is recommended to book an air conditioning service at least once a year.
Key areas that we focus on when servicing your system include:
- Cleaning coils, filters and other key components.
- Inspecting wiring, connections and electrical components.
- Examining parts like the fan motor or thermostat for malfunctions.
- Checking for leaks caused by dirt build-up or corrosion.

- Better air quality: Dust and other debris can be cycled through your system without regular maintenance. By booking a service, you can ensure that you consistently receive high-quality air in your home.

Signs your air conditioner needs maintenance
Check your air conditioner for the following signs that it may need servicing and maintenance:
- Noises: Malfunctions and dirt built up on the fan or coils can cause a grinding, buzzing or rattling noise.
- Smells: Mould or mildew can build up in an unclean air conditioner, on top of general dirt build-up. This can cause your unit to spread a foul smell throughout your residence.
- Leaks: If there is a build-up clogging your device’s drains or filters, you may notice a leak coming from your device.
- Dirt: A visibly dirty unit may be at risk of corrosion or a breakdown. It could be a good idea to book a service and thorough cleaning as soon as possible.
- Energy bill spikes: When there’s a malfunction in your device, it has to work harder to cool down your space. This can cause a consistent spike in your energy bills.
- Bad airflow: If you stick your hand underneath your unit and you notice the air is warm or not much is coming out, there could be a clog or other issue.
Common air conditioning issues
Some common air conditioning issues you should be on the lookout for include:
- Wiring issues: An air conditioner suddenly starting and stopping can be caused by an issue with the electric wiring and other connections. This issue should only be addressed by a fully licensed professional to ensure legal compliance.
- Thermostat malfunctions: If the thermostat is broken or placed in direct sunlight, it can result in bad temperature readings and cause inefficient cooling.
- Fan issues: Noisy units are most commonly caused by an issue with the fan motor. A broken fan can also be a reason for poor air flow.
- Clogged components: The filter of your system needs to be regularly cleaned to make sure air can pass through it. Clogged condensate drains can also cause leaks and other problems.
