How often should your aircon be serviced?

Your air conditioner is just like a car which needs regular services. Dust and dirt accumulate in the fans, filters, and coils which can damage the internal components and decrease the efficiency with which the unit works. The frequency of services on an air conditioning unit would depend on the environment in which the unit is installed as well as its usage. The rule of thumb is 1 to 2 services a year, but there are conditions which may influence the frequency of services:

The environment

If your aircon is situated close to a construction site, industrial area or the ocean, we recommend 2 to 4 services a year due to corrosion. The air around the ocean contains corrosive minerals which damage the copper coils over time while the dust and chemicals around construction and industrial areas settle in the unit making more regular cleaning and services necessary.

The usage

Commercial systems or aircon units that run every day will need more regular maintenance and repairs than a unit installed in a home where it runs less frequently. Just like a car that puts a lot of kilometres on the clock, the more it runs the faster you get to the point where a service is needed.

Neglecting regular maintenance will ensure a steady decline in air conditioning performance and air quality while its energy usage increases. As part of our installation service, Cool Intentions puts together service solutions for each client, which may include major and minor services during the year.
