Air conditioning

How long should you go between each air conditioning service?

Matt Mouritz · Director

If they are living in Perth, air conditioning service periods for many people can be confusing. The weather can be quite changeable; we have a harsh climate to deal with, and we need our air conditioning to work effectively. If our system fails, our lives can be miserable until we can get it fixed. A regular air conditioning service is a great way to ensure that your system is working correctly. Let’s take a closer look at the process and discover the best times to get your system serviced.

The importance of regular servicing:

Modern air conditioning equipment is a complex system of engineering with mechanical, electrical and moving parts. Like any complicated system, such as a car, each piece of the system relies on the other parts to work effectively. When one part is not functioning correctly, it can adversely affect the other parts causing them to work less efficiently or eventually to fail entirely. When a system is serviced regularly, problems that could get worse can be detected earlier and dealt with. This saves money, as prevention is always cheaper than paying for a more extensive repair that requires more time to fix and replacement parts.

What happens during an air conditioning service?

The engineer will first carry out an overview of your system and assess the general condition. The system will invariably be dirty due to a buildup of dust and debris that accumulates over time. This will need to be cleaned away from the coils and ductwork so it can work effectively. All the wiring is checked to ensure that it is in good order, free from any fraying and safely connected. All moving parts will be checked to make sure they are running as intended and securely located. If there any problems you need to be aware of the engineer will advise you and a repair or replacement can be arranged.

How often should your service be carried out?

Many people will simply state that an air conditioning service is required every spring. In fact, it is actually a better to have a service carried out at the beginning of each heating and cooling season. This will ensure that your system is ready to go at the times of year when you need it most. Many companies have scheduled maintenance programs that remind you when a service is due. This is a great option as you never miss a service and you could even get a discount on regular servicing.

Choose the best next step for your home

Ducted reverse cycle

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning heats and cools your whole home from one system, so you don’t need separate heating and cooling. Zone control sends air only to the rooms you’re using. We work out how many zones you need from the size and layout of your home and how you use it.

Ducted evaporative

A ducted evaporative system from Mouritz cools your home with fresh outside air, and its main advantage is low running costs. It’s cooling only, and works best with a few windows or doors open so the cooled air can flow through the house.

Split systems

A split system heats and cools a room or area, so it suits homes that don’t need whole-home air conditioning. Each one has an outdoor unit and an indoor wall-mounted unit. Split systems work for one room or several, and keep purchase, installation and running costs low.

Solar

A solar power system from Mouritz gives you more control over your energy use and helps reduce your power bills. We design and install panels around your home and energy needs, and battery storage lets you use stored power when you need it. Buying air conditioning too? We offer extra discounts when you buy both together.

Ducted gas heating

Ducted gas heating from Mouritz warms your whole home through ducts and vents, with zoning so you only heat the rooms you need, which can help reduce your energy bills. Installation can be more involved than other heating systems, but you get even, efficient warmth throughout the house.
