Your air conditioning system is operating in the background all year. It is only when it breaks down that you are reminded of its existence. However, the cause of the breakdown was likely allowed to occur while it was still operating but deteriorating all the time. Most breakdowns occur due to lack of maintenance and they can be cost out before they occur.
Refrigerant Levels Drop Over Time
Leakage of refrigerant can occur through minute gaps in the sealed system, even when installed correctly. Such leakage results in reduced refrigerant in the system, which in turn causes the compressor to work harder thus increasing operating costs and shortening the life of the unit.
Filters and Coils Get Clogged
Dust fills air conditioning filters and coils. When these are cleaned during a service, the air conditioning system returns to its original high standard of comfort and efficiency.
Condensate Drains Block Quietly
The condensate water produced by every air con can form large amounts of water in a short space of time. This can overflow and leak from the air con unit causing ceiling damage or even black mould growth. This can cost a lot to repair and clear compared to a simple clear out.
Electrical Connections Loosen
Vibration can cause terminals and wiring to loosen over time. This can cause the air conditioner to suddenly switch off or even cause a fire. All terminals and connections are checked and tightened during the service.
Compliance and Warranty Records
Refrigerants are handled in accordance with the refrigerant handling regulations for air conditioning, providing assurance of qualified servicing. In addition, servicing and maintenance records are retained to ensure compliance with manufacturer’s warranty conditions.

Most faults can be resolved economically as they occur, rather than allowing them to continue until there is a total failure of the Air Conditioning system at the worst time of the year.
