Just like a vehicle, or other mechanical device, air conditioners need regular maintenance and servicing to ensure optimal efficiency and performance. Dust, dirt, and other debris can easily accumulate in an airconditioning system’s fans, filters, coils, and other parts, all of which can have a detrimental effect on both split system and ducted air con units. Kintore Air Conditioning is the company you can trust for all your air conditioning needs in Perth. Let’s look at five key reasons why you shouldn’t neglect the servicing of your air con system.

Maximise its Lifespan

Getting your air conditioner serviced by a professional air conditioning expert can increase the lifespan of your system. With proper care, air conditioning systems can last between 10 to 15 years before requiring a replacement. However, with a lack of professional maintenance, this timeframe will significantly reduce.

Save Money On Power Bills

Clogged filters, and coils, can lead to a steady decline in performance while using the same, if not more, energy. A decline in performance will escalate your electricity bills, as the system must work harder than it should it cool your home. It is estimated that routine servicing can help maintain up to 95% of an air con system’s original operational efficiency performance.

Prevent Inconvenient and Expensive Breakdowns

A qualified service technician will check all parts, clean them, and will make sure that your filters are replaced and ready for the season ahead. Any small issues will be diagnosed and repaired before they lead to a breakdown or turn into larger problems that require expensive repairs in the future. If you want to rest easy during summer and have the confidence that your air con system will keep you cool and comfortable, arrange a professional air con service.

Maintain a Healthy Environment

Air conditioning systems improve the indoor air quality, which inhibits the growth of microbes, mould, mildew, and other contaminants that may cause or worsen respiratory issues and allergies.

Routine maintenance by a professional will clean the dust and dirt out of your filters and sterilise the system so that the air circulated is cleaner and fresher.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Regular servicing ensures your air conditioner operates more efficiently, which means it won’t draw any more energy or electricity than it has to. Clogged filters or dirty condenser coils result in an air con working harder to do its job. As mentioned above, this leads to higher power bills, but it also leaves a larger carbon footprint which can have a devastating impact on the environment. 

How Often Should You Service Your Air Con?

It is recommended that you arrange a comprehensive service at least once every 12 months, but this could change depending on your usage. If you live in a climate where you rely on your air conditioner 24/7 for many months of the year, it may need more frequent servicing. If you have a cooling only unit (not reverse-cycle), aim to service your unit in Spring so that it is ready for the hot summer months ahead. Reverse-cycle units may need servicing in Spring and in Autumn so both the heating and cooling functions work when they are needed most.
