How often should aircon be serviced?

Most air conditioners are worth checking before peak summer, and sooner if airflow drops, smells appear or the unit starts working harder than usual.

A practical servicing rhythm

  • Book before peak summer if the system works hard through hot weather.
  • Book sooner if airflow drops, the unit smells, water appears or the system becomes noisy.
  • Rental and commercial systems often need more regular checks because they run for longer periods.

What to include in the enquiry

Mention when it was last serviced, how often it is used, the property type and whether the system is split, ducted or something else.
