FAQ
Why is air conditioning maintenance important?
Air conditioning maintenance is essential for ensuring long-term system performance, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. Over time, dust, dirt, and moisture can build up in filters, coils, and internal components, making the system work harder and consume more energy. Without regular servicing, these issues can lead to reduced airflow, poor temperature control, higher electricity bills, and even system failure. Maintenance also helps identify potential faults early—such as refrigerant leaks, worn parts, or electrical issues—before they turn into costly repairs. For both residential and commercial systems, routine maintenance ensures the air conditioner operates safely, efficiently, and reliably all year round.
How often should air conditioners be serviced?
Most air conditioning systems should be professionally serviced at least once a year, though more frequent servicing—every 6 months—is ideal in hot and humid climates like Darwin. For homes, annual servicing before the peak cooling season is recommended. In commercial and industrial settings, especially where systems run daily or in sensitive environments like food storage or healthcare, servicing may be needed quarterly or even monthly. Regular servicing includes filter cleaning, refrigerant checks, electrical inspections, and a performance test to ensure all components are working properly.
Can regular maintenance reduce air conditioning running costs?
Yes, regular maintenance can significantly reduce the running costs of an air conditioning system. A clean, well-maintained system operates more efficiently—meaning it uses less energy to achieve the same level of cooling or heating. Dirty filters, clogged coils, and low refrigerant levels can force the system to work harder, increasing electricity usage and putting strain on the components. Over time, this not only raises your energy bills but also increases the risk of breakdowns and shortens the lifespan of the unit. Scheduled maintenance keeps everything running smoothly and helps ensure that your system remains as energy-efficient as possible.
