How Often Should I Service My Air Conditioner?

The General Rule: Once a Year, Minimum

For most homes, an annual service is enough — ideally just before summer or winter, depending on when you use it most.

This prevents breakdowns, extends the lifespan of the unit, and keeps your electricity bills low.

Can You Clean It Yourself?

Yes! Basic cleaning includes:

• Wiping vents and panels

• Cleaning or replacing filters (every 2–3 months)

• Keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris

But don’t skip professional servicing — it’s essential for checking things you can’t see or reach.

Out of Sight, Out of Service?

You probably don’t think about your aircon much — until it’s not working.
But like your car or your geyser, your air conditioner needs regular servicing to keep it running efficiently, cleanly, and quietly.

So how often should you service it? The short answer: at least once a year — but there’s more to it than that.

What Happens If You Skip It?

Ignoring servicing can lead to:

• Poor performance and airflow

• Bad smells from mouldy filters

• Higher electricity usage

• Shortened compressor life

• Surprise breakdowns on the hottest day of the year

And let’s be honest — no one wants that mid-summer panic.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Broken

Servicing your air conditioner once a year keeps it running better, longer, and more affordably.
