Preventative Maintenance & System Reliability

This helps prevent breakdowns, improve energy efficiency, and extend the life of your unit—especially important in the Northern Territory where high humidity and heat can accelerate wear and tear.

FAQ
How often should air conditioners be serviced?
Air conditioners should be serviced at least once a year, though more frequent servicing—every 6 months—is recommended in high-use environments or areas with high humidity, like Darwin. Regular servicing involves checking refrigerant levels, cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting electrical components, clearing condensate drains, and testing system performance. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy costs, and avoidable breakdowns. For commercial or industrial systems that run year-round, a preventative maintenance schedule is crucial to maintain performance, ensure compliance, and extend the life of the equipment.
What are the signs that my air conditioner needs repair?
Common signs your air conditioner may need repair include weak airflow, warm or inconsistent air output, strange noises, bad odours, water leaks, or sudden increases in your energy bill. In some cases, the system may short-cycle (turn on and off frequently) or fail to respond to temperature settings. These symptoms could indicate issues such as refrigerant leaks, clogged filters, electrical faults, blocked ducts, or malfunctioning thermostats. Addressing these problems early helps prevent bigger and more expensive repairs in the future.
Is it worth repairing an old air conditioner or should I replace it?
Whether to repair or replace an air conditioner depends on its age, condition, and the cost of the repair. If the unit is more than 10–15 years old and frequently breaking down, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Older systems are often less energy-efficient, may use outdated refrigerants, and can be expensive to maintain. However, if the system is relatively new and the repair is minor, fixing it is usually the better option. An assessment by a licensed technician can help weigh the short-term repair cost against long-term energy savings and reliability.
