- Gather information about your current system: Be sure to have the make, model and age of the unit, as well as any warranties or guarantees that may be in effect handy in case they’re needed

Air Conditioning Cleaning & Servicing
We provide air conditioning cleaning and servicing throughout all of Brisbane’s Southside, including South Brisbane, Sunnybank, Ipswich, Logan, Redland and Redcliffe areas.
It is important that your air conditioner is cleaned regularly to maintain good air quality in your home and to reduce the running costs of your air conditioning unit. Filters inside air conditioners are designed to catch dust and other pollutants, however, if your air conditioner is not cleaned regularly they can clog up and collect moisture and even mould.
Regularly cleaning your air conditioner may also mean better energy efficiency and lower running costs. The more clogged the filters are the harder the air conditioner needs to work to cool or warm the air.

What you can do to clean your air conditioner:
- Clean the dust filters every couple of weeks, particularly in high-use periods
- Take the dust filters outside for a good brush or shake. They usually can be vacuumed for a thorough clean
- If the dust filters are very dirty and grimy, you can wash them gently in warm water with mild detergent and rinse them clean. Make sure they are completely dry before putting them back
Please make sure you read the manufacturer’s instructions for your unit before you commence any cleaning.
Your AC system should be professionally serviced regularly – we suggest once or twice a year at the beginning of spring and end of summer.
If you live in a very dusty or humid environment and use your air conditioner regularly, you might be surprised how much dust and grime can build up inside your air conditioner. This can lead to lost performance as the unit clogs up, mould spores are blown into your home or water leaks if the drainage hose gets blocked up.
Should you require a replacement or a new unit, our expert installers can help. We will discuss your heating & cooling needs, and after an assessment of your home, including checking you have the correct power capabilities, can advise on the type of unit and position to best suit your requirements.

Servicing an air conditioner, no matter the brand, is important to ensure that it runs efficiently and effectively and to prevent any potential issues from arising. During servicing, our professional HVAC technicians will typically:
- Inspect the unit for any signs of wear and tear, such as rust or damage to the fins, coils, or compressor
- Clean the unit, including the filters, coils, and fins, to remove any built-up dirt and debris
- Check and adjust the refrigerant levels, if necessary
- Check the electrical connections and wiring to ensure that they are tight and in good condition
- Check the operation of the thermostat, fan and compressor
- Check the ducts and any other parts of the system that are in contact with air to ensure that they are clean and free of any blockages
- Provide a detailed report of the service and any recommendations for future maintenance
Cleaning your AC system regularly—whether it’s ducted or a split system, maintains good air quality in your home and reduces the running costs of your air conditioning unit. A few of the reasons your system will benefit from regular cleaning include:
The Filters: Filters inside air conditioners are designed to catch dust and other pollutants, however, if your air conditioner is not cleaned regularly, they can clog up and collect moisture and even mould.
Energy Efficiency: Regularly cleaning your air conditioner may also mean better energy efficiency and lower running costs. The more clogged the filters are the harder the air conditioner needs to work to cool or warm the air.
It is recommended to have your air conditioner cleaned at least once a year, typically during Spring or Autumn, to remove built-up dirt and debris and check for potential issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth repairing an air conditioner?
If you have an older model, it may not work as efficiently or effectively as a newer one. In addition, the average life expectancy of an AC unit is only ten years. So, if yours is over ten years old and isn’t working correctly anymore, then it may be time for a replacement.
Why it is important to service your air conditioner?
Air conditioners are necessary for the summer months, but they can be expensive if not properly maintained. If you don’t have yours serviced regularly, then you could end up with some serious problems that will cost more money than servicing would have in the first place.
Our technicians will check everything from refrigerant levels to electrical connections, so nothing slips through the cracks. And because we use state-of-the-art equipment and technology, there are no surprises when we give you an accurate diagnosis of what needs fixing – which means lower repair costs.
What is routine maintenance on an air conditioner?
Routine maintenance on an air conditioner is essential to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently. It’s also necessary to avoid costly repairs down the road. So our technicians will thoroughly inspect your unit, checking everything from the coils to the refrigerant levels. We’ll even clean out any debris that could be clogging up your system so it can run at peak performance.
How often should air conditioning be serviced?
Many experts recommend having an HVAC technician come out at least once every year to inspect your system and ensure everything is running smoothly. This will help prevent any major issues with your cooling system before they happen.
How can I maintain my air conditioner myself?
Outside of scheduled servicing, it is essential to clean your filters regularly. This should be done at least once every couple of months. You should inspect your filters more often if you are using your air-con a lot more in the warmer months and live in a house with pets or smokers, as they can cause debris to clog up the filter much faster.
