There are several reasons why you should service your air conditioner regularly:

1. Efficient Performance: Regular servicing helps maintain the optimal performance of your air conditioner. Over time, dust, debris, and other contaminants can accumulate in the system, reducing its efficiency. By cleaning and maintaining the various components, such as the filters, coils, and condenser, you ensure that the air conditioner operates at its best, providing effective cooling or heating while consuming less energy which will cost less to use.

2. Extended Lifespan: Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your air conditioner. When the system is properly cleaned and serviced, it experiences less strain and wear, reducing the likelihood of major breakdowns. By addressing minor issues early on, you can prevent them from turning into costly repairs or premature system failure.

3. Improved Air Quality: The filters in your air conditioner play a crucial role in capturing dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. If these filters become clogged or dirty, they may not effectively clean the air, leading to reduced indoor air quality.  Mould can quickly build up over time. When an air conditioning system is blowing air, in most cases it’s recycling the air from the room. Regular servicing includes cleaning or replacing the filters, promoting cleaner and healthier air circulation in your home.

4. Preventive Maintenance: Servicing your air conditioner allows technicians to inspect the system thoroughly. They can identify and address any potential issues before they become major problems. This proactive approach can save you from unexpected breakdowns during extreme weather conditions when you need your air conditioner the most. This also assists with preventing blocked drains, which are a common issue with air conditioning systems. 

5. Warranty Compliance: Many air conditioner manufacturers require regular servicing to maintain the warranty validity. If you neglect regular maintenance, you may risk voiding your warranty, which could leave you responsible for costly repairs or replacements.

In summary, servicing your air conditioner regularly helps maintain its efficiency, extend its lifespan, improve indoor air quality, save energy, and prevent major breakdowns. It is a wise investment to ensure optimal performance and avoid unnecessary expenses in the long run. For a domestic premise with regular use, we recommend minimum servicing every 12 months, however, we recommend checking the system to ensure there is no heavy build-up. For commercial premises, we would advise what is required after checking the site.
