maintenance & SERVICING
Regular maintenance and servicing of air conditioners are essential to ensure efficient operation, optimal performance, improved air quality, and prolonged lifespan. It is recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines or consult a professional technician for specific maintenance requirements.
why is regular maitenance neccessary
Regular maintenance and servicing of air conditioners are necessary for several reasons:
- Efficiency: Over time, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate in the air conditioner's filters, coils, and other components. This buildup restricts airflow and reduces the system's efficiency, leading to increased energy consumption and higher cooling costs.
- Performance: A well-maintained system cools the air effectively and evenly throughout the space. Neglecting maintenance can result in uneven cooling, inadequate temperature control, or the system failing to cool at all.
- Longevity: Air conditioners are significant investments, and regular maintenance can help prolong their lifespan. By addressing minor issues promptly and preventing major problems, maintenance ensures that the system operates smoothly for a longer time. This can save you money in the long run by delaying the need for expensive repairs or premature replacement.
- Air Quality: Air conditioners play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality. They filter out dust, allergens, and pollutants, preventing them from circulating in the indoor environment. Regular maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters, ensuring that the air conditioner continues to provide clean and healthy air.
- Preventive Measures: During routine maintenance, technicians inspect various components of the air conditioner, identifying potential issues before they become major problems. They can detect leaks, worn-out parts, or signs of damage, allowing for timely repairs. This proactive approach helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensures the system operates reliably.
- Warranty Compliance: Many air conditioner manufacturers require regular maintenance as a condition for warranty coverage. Failing to perform the recommended maintenance may void the warranty leaving you responsible for repair costs.

Whilst most of our air-conditioning systems have smart features such as auto clean, it is imperative that they are regularly cleaned and serviced to ensure optimal performance and ensure longevity. Whilst we highly recommend that you are regularly employing qualified technicians annually to clean your air-conditioner, to maintain fresh and clean air, it is recommended to clean the air- conditioner filter and upper cover every two weeks.
These air filters are located directly under the front panel and work as the first line of defence against those potentially harmful and irritating pathogens being recirculated in the air of your home.
These air filters should be cleaned regularly to maximise your AC’s cooling efficiency and ensure continuous healthy indoor air quality for you and your family. Please check the type of air conditioner and filters you have before starting the cleaning process.

step one:
To clean the filter, you must first ensure the AC unit is switched off.
Once the power is disconnected, lift up the front flap to reveal the air filters underneath. Remove each filter by pulling gently on the tab located near the bottom of the filter edge.
Wash the air filters with water, being careful not to damage the filter surface. For extremely dirty filters, use warm water and a pH neutral soap or mild household detergent. Do not use harsh chemicals and do not scour or scrub the filters.
Once they are clean, dry them thoroughly under shade and away from direct sunlight or fire. When they are completely dry, re-install them into the AC Unit.

step two:
Wipe the exterior of the unit with a wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Minimising dirt and dust that has collected on the panels and around the vents of the unit will ensure your indoor air quality is always at its best.
step three:
Finally, locate the outdoor unit and check for any obstructions to airflow in the immediate vicinity of the compressor. Check the unit is stable and firmly bolted to the mounting brackets. Inspect the hoses to ensure there are no cracks or splits in the hose going to the main unit.
We recommend these easy maintenance steps are performed on a regular basis to ensure your unit is delivering the cleanest possible air quality for you and your loved ones. Clean filters are not only better for your health, they are also better for your wallet, potentially saving you from additional energy costs.
