Prevent problems before they start
Regular maintenance helps identify minor issues early, reducing the risk of breakdowns while keeping your air conditioning system running efficiently and reliably.
Before
After
When an outdoor coil becomes clogged with dirt, dust, leaves, and debris, airflow is restricted and heat cannot be released effectively. This forces the air conditioning system to work harder to maintain temperature, leading to reduced cooling performance, higher energy consumption, and unnecessary strain on the compressor. Over time, a dirty coil can contribute to system breakdowns and shortened equipment life.
Small part, Big Difference
Your air conditioning filter plays a critical role in maintaining system performance, air quality, and efficiency. Over time, filters collect dust, dirt, and airborne particles. When a filter becomes dirty or blocked, airflow is restricted, forcing the system to work harder to circulate air throughout your home.
Cleaning or replacing the filter restores proper airflow, helping your system cool or heat more effectively while using less energy. This can lead to lower running costs, improved comfort, and reduced strain on key components.
A clean filter also improves indoor air quality by reducing dust and allergens in the air, creating a healthier environment for your home. Regular filter maintenance helps prevent unnecessary breakdowns, extends the lifespan of your system, and ensures consistent, reliable performance year-round.
Importance of Refrigerant Checks During Maintenance
Checking refrigerant levels and system operation is a critical part of maintaining an air conditioning system and ensuring compliance with Australian Standards and ARCtick requirements.
Refrigerant must be handled responsibly, as incorrect charge levels or leaks can reduce system efficiency, cause component damage, and contribute to environmental harm. During routine maintenance, refrigerant checks help confirm the system is operating within manufacturer specifications and Australian regulatory guidelines.
Under Australian regulations, all refrigerant handling must be carried out by appropriately licensed technicians. Regular inspections help identify potential leaks early, ensure accurate refrigerant records are maintained, and confirm the system remains compliant with ARCtick and environmental standards.
By monitoring refrigerant condition and performance during maintenance, system efficiency is improved, running costs are reduced, and the risk of unexpected breakdowns or non-compliance issues is minimised.
