How Often Should You Service Air Conditioning Units?

When was the last time you had your air conditioning serviced? Don’t worry if you can’t remember—it’s a question that many people in Australia don’t know the answer to. Your air conditioner is an important part of your home, but it’s all too easy to forget about it until something goes wrong.

You could be using your air conditioner every day without realising that it needs a service, and unless you get regular services, this problem could turn into something much bigger. Here at Climatech , we provide air conditioning service for all types of air conditioning units for residential, commercial , and industrial customers.

Split System Air Conditioning Units

When it comes to split system air conditioning units , you should aim to service them twice a year (before summer and again before winter). This helps ensure that your unit functions at its best all year round.

During a service, a professional will inspect your unit for any problems and take steps to prevent future issues from occurring. They will also clean your air conditioner, maintain the filters, fan and coils and check your thermostat, refrigerant levels and ducts and drains.

Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

Reverse cycle air conditioning units are more expensive than the split system variety, but they are also more efficient and provide greater airflow.

The lifespan of a reverse cycle unit is around 15 years and it’s important you schedule regular maintenance once every 6 months, so you can get the best from your investment.

Window Air Conditioning Units

If you’re running them morning, noon, and night every summer, you’ll need to have window air conditioning units serviced every three months to six months. But if you only use it during the hottest days of the year, you might find that an annual service is sufficient.
