Air Conditioning Service: How Often Should You Schedule Repairs?

Air conditioning is a very important aspect of home comfort but they do require servicing at regular intervals — around once a year depending on the type of air con and how frequently it is used.
Regular service by an experienced technician ensures that your air conditioner will continue to work efficiently lowering your energy bills, especially during the summer months. It is also a good way to detect any faults with the unit before they turn into bigger problems that could result in costly repairs.
Your service technician will check the performance, tighten electrical connections, test the thermostat and make sure all the internal components are in good condition which will all help to extend the lifetime of your unit.

Preventative Maintenance Will Improve The Air Quality In Your Home

As part of professional service, the unit will also undergo a deep clean. This information is based on Split System Air Conditioning, but broadly applies to Ducted Systems too.

Regular cleaning removes dust and other pollutants from filters and louvres. If filters are not regularly cleaned, they can clog up and collect moisture. This could potentially develop into mould which can become airborne and trigger serious health effects.

Regular cleaning also helps improve efficiency and reduce running costs. As dust builds up in the filters, the unit has to work harder to move the air as well as cool or heat. It’s also worthwhile tidying the area around the outdoor unit by removing vegetation, obstructions and spiders. Choice created a guide on How To Clean Your Air Conditioner which offers useful advice but still recommends having your air conditioning system professionally serviced regularly.

A trained technician will have the skills and knowledge to clean internal components such as coils, fins and drainage, ensuring the longevity of your air conditioner.

Air Conditioning Repairs

Many Australians clean the filters every few months and call for a service every few years or when the system develops a fault.

If that’s the case, Smarter Air & Electrical offers air conditioning repairs with free over-the-phone advice and quick, affordable services. Once you have booked the repairs, we will happily come to inspect the unit and try to get it working that day. If it’s a serious issue that requires a replacement part, we can use our supplier connections to order the parts and create a clear quote to install them.

Most manufacturers offer a 5-year warranty. For further peace of mind, AC systems installed by Smarter Air & Electrical come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee.

We just had our unit installed a few days ago and wow...what a difference it has made. The process was so easy from start to finish. Alex was happy to run us through every system until we found exactly what we needed. The officecwas a pleasure to deal with. The installers, led by Ben were so considerate and professional and took such great pride in their work. I can't thank Ben and his team enough. They did a brilliant fit out, cleaned so thoroughly and explained all the tech so simply. I truely recommend these guys and hopefully you get Ben and his team for your fit out.

We cannot rate this company enough! Louis, Jayden, Aidan and Wayne were awesome, really professional and treated our home brilliantly whilst installing the ducted aircon and removing two opd split systems. The ducted system itself is so much more efficient than the two split systems we had. This company was great to deal with from the start at the quote phase, to site visit and all the way to the installation part. 5 stars. Would recommend.

We had ducted air conditioning installed and the entire experience was excellent. From the initial quote to the final install, communication was clear and honest and this close to Christmas extremely efficient service. The installers were professional, efficient, and were extremely polite and well mannered on site. The system runs quietly and cools the house perfectly. Would highly recommend to anyone considering ducted air from Smarter Air & Electrical.

My husband and I can't speak highly enough about the team from Smarter Air & Electrical. Great communication and information from Alex in sales. Jack who came to quote and do the site inspection was such a nice guy and was so helpful. On the day of installation, Haydyn and his team arrived right on time. They did an amazing job and left everything so tidy and clean when they left. We were so impressed with how professional the whole team was. We would highly recommend this company if you're looking for a ducted air conditioning system. Thanks guys!

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. From receiving a quote with multiple options and add-ons providing transparency and accurate figures for pricing. The initial site visit occurred quickly. After this we had an initial install date booked which I had to change and Smarter Air were extremely accommodating with a date change. On the day of installation, Joey and the team arrived on time, completed the job to a fantastic standard, left the house very clean, and explained how everything worked. All the guys who worked on the job were absolute champions. Best experience.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Smarter Air & Electrical. From the first site visit, Ben (legend) was friendly, knowledgeable, and great to deal with. No sales pressure at any point—just honest advice, clear communication, and a genuine focus on what suited us best. The whole process was smooth and well-organised, with everything running on time and as promised. On installation day, Phil (one of the directors) was on-site to double-check plans and talk through any technical details or adjustments which was a great touch and showed how much they care about getting things right. The team was respectful, efficient, and left everything tidy. They clearly take pride in their work. The result is brilliant—clean install, great system, and total peace of mind. Highly recommend them for a stress-free, professional experience.

Amanda told me she was sending her best tradie, Ben, who was punctual, professional, and polite. Ben, ensured the job was turned out as if it was work on his own home, and then educated my wife on the operation of our new aircon. In short, Ben is an LBW, ( living bloody wonder) and an asset to the business, and his offsider, Sam, a good bloke, with 2 ears, both of which seem to work.
