We get asked all the time, when do I need to service my split system air conditioner? Well if your split system hasn’t had a good service for 2 years or more, we would always recommend a deep clean. A deep clean involves antibacterial spray and pressure cleaning of the indoor unit coils. If the filters havent been cleaned for a while you will most likely find that the indoor unit coils are filthy and will most likely require cleaning.

Below is what is involved with both the minor and major services.

Basically, you want to give your split system a minor service every 12 months. We recommend major servicing every 2 years (depending on usage and environment) but our technicians can advise you on the day if he believes your split system will require a deeper more thorough cleaning.

Ducted systems also require yearly maintenance and servicing. Your ducted reverse cycle air conditioner service will include a general inspection and fault test.

We recommend an evap service summer startup service before the heat hits as air con technicians near you may become very busy very fast.
