Think air conditioning service is only for old air cons?
Think again. Good quality air conditioners are designed to last 15 to 20 years, but neglecting basic maintenance could shorten your system’s lifespan significantly.
There’s nothing more frustrating when your air conditioner gives way in the middle of summer. Your air con can stop working for a number of reasons, but fortunately, a little preparation can go a long way to protect your system from faults.
Preventative maintenance is key
Air conditioning systems are a significant investment. Having a reputable technician come out and carry out maintenance on your air conditioning system can help prevent it from breaking down during peak times of use.
We can service all types of air conditioning systems including split systems, evaporative cooling, ducted refrigerated systems and cassette system air conditioners.
We recommend getting air conditioning service on your system once a year during the cooler months to keep it working efficiently during the hot summer months.

When you have your new air conditioner installed by Total Air Conditioning, we can set you up on an annual maintenance plan. This will ensure your new investment will run smoothly and keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Poorly maintained air conditioners are less efficient and will cost you more to run, as they need to work harder to cool or warm your house. They are also more prone to breakdown. Neglecting to regularly maintain your system may void any manufacturer’s warranty you may have in place.
What our annual service includes
A regular inspection and check of your air con system can highlight any loss of performance or issues and prevent a breakdown when you least expect it. The various parts of the system we look at during a service are the filters, coils and fins.
Every Total Air Conditioning air conditioning service includes:
- Service by a licenced service technician’s, not just a split cleaning franchise with no technical experience.
- Full observation of functions, check and test
- Major or Minor Services available
- Coil and unit cleaning where required

Cleaning your filter
Regular use of your system causes dirt, dust and allergens to build up inside your unit. Cleaning your filter helps your system run efficiently, keeping the air clean and your household healthy.
On top of your annual service, you should clean your filter at the start of every season to remove any loosely trapped dust particles. When the filter becomes blocked from dust, pollens and other particles, the amount of air flow through the fan coil in the interior unit is reduced. This slows down airflow and the system’s cooling ability.
Besides cleaning your filter, your air conditioning system should always be serviced professionally by a qualified technician.
Benefits of maintaining your system
The biggest waster of electricity is your air conditioning system. Because most air conditioners are not maintained properly, homeowners use up more energy and end up paying more for their electricity than they should. By servicing your air conditioning system you’ll:
- Lower your energy costs
- Maintain high level performance of your air con
- Improve the air quality inside your home
- Improve system reliability and efficiency all year round
- Prolong the working life of your air con system and parts
- Reduce the number of breakdowns
