Preventative maintenance

Air conditioning maintenance

Regular maintenance is the cheapest way to keep air conditioning reliable. We offer scheduled maintenance for homes, rental portfolios and commercial sites.

Why maintain on a schedule

  • Clean coils and filters reduce energy use and strain on compressors.
  • Drain checks help prevent water damage to ceilings and walls.
  • Early detection of refrigerant leaks and failing components.
  • A documented history for warranty, insurance and tenancy records.

How often: homes vs commercial sites

Homes usually need an annual service before summer. Commercial sites running long hours generally need quarterly or six-monthly programs. Coastal and dusty sites may need more frequent coil cleaning. A one-off service visit is covered on our air conditioning service page; this page is about ongoing, scheduled maintenance.

What you can do between services

  • Clean wall-split filters every two to four weeks during heavy use.
  • Keep outdoor units clear of plants, rubbish and stored items.
  • Rinse salt build-up from coastal outdoor units with gentle water (power off).
  • Report water leaks, odours or new noises early.

Frequently asked questions

How often should an air conditioner be serviced?

+

For most homes, an annual service before summer is sensible; coastal properties in Rockingham, Safety Bay and Mandurah benefit from closer attention to outdoor-unit corrosion. Commercial systems running long hours typically need quarterly or six-monthly maintenance, and filters may need cleaning more often in dusty or high-traffic sites.

Do you offer preventative maintenance agreements?

+

Yes. We set up scheduled maintenance programs for homes and commercial sites, with a service frequency matched to equipment type, run hours and site conditions, and service records kept for each asset.

Can you work with property managers and strata companies?

+

Yes. We coordinate access with tenants, provide clear quotes for owner approval, and supply written reports and photos so property managers can make decisions without attending site.
