Air conditioning

How often should you service your air conditioning?

Matt Mouritz · Director

Like any hard-working piece of equipment, your faithful air conditioning unit will gradually need a little TLC to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. We rely on them to keep us cool in the summer, and comfortable in the winter, while they remove harmful particles from the air to ensure that everything our families breath are clean and bacteria-free. From smoke particles, odours, and mites, there are a lot of ways that our air conditioners help us in day-to-day life without so much as a ‘thank you’. However, once one component is neglected, the air conditioning process can be held up, and energy costs will rise – that’s why we encourage our customers to keep an eye on parts such as their filters, coils, and fins. The best time to do this spring, so you’re just in time!

Springtime is best for a home air conditioning service, to ensure that your system is firing on all cylinders to cool your home through the scorching Perth summer. As your system works, it accumulates dirt and dust particles, that will hinder the airflow and potentially lead to a build-up of harmful particles circulating throughout your home. Not only this, but many experts have found that every year your air conditioner is not serviced, it can lead to a 5% decrease in efficiency – making the cost of servicing greatly more desirable than the yearly energy costs.

Heating and cooling professionals recommend getting your air conditioning serviced at least once a year if there is no cause for concern, and right now is the perfect spot in the calendar to clear out any winter build-up. As a homeowner, you can still play a pivotal role in your air conditioner’s health, by replacing the filter every 30 days to ensure maximum output and cleanliness. However, if you notice a problem, a quick service can ensure that you don’t lose any more money to energy bills.

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.

Service & repairs

Regular servicing keeps your air conditioning running efficiently, which saves on energy costs. Our experienced service team responds promptly to breakdowns and maintenance issues. We recommend servicing most systems once a year.
