Regular servicing is essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of air conditioning for residential properties. The frequency of servicing can vary depending on several factors, including the type of air conditioner, usage patterns, and environmental conditions. Here are some general guidelines:Annual / Seasonal Servicing: It is recommended to have your home air conditioner serviced at least once a year, depending on use. This routine maintenance helps identify and address any minor issues before they escalate into major problems. As Australia is exposed to a wide range of extreme temperatures, it is recommended to schedule frequent servicing of your air conditioning in Australia. This ensures that your unit is in top shape and ready to perform at its best.Filter Maintenance: Clogged or dirty filters can hinder airflow and reduce efficiency. It’s recommended that you clean the indoor units every 6 to 12 months, although this varies by model. Refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual on the recommended frequency and how to access and remove the filter from the indoor unit. Environmental Considerations: It’s important to make sure to keep the outdoor unit free from debris and obstructions. Like with indoor units, debris can build-up on the outdoor unit fins, restricting airflow. This can cause the compressor to work harder, leading to higher energy usage and increased running costs.. If you live in an area with high pollution, dust, or allergens, it may be necessary to service your air conditioner more frequently. To organise a service on your air conditioner, contact Fujitsu General Assist on 1300 364 484 to speak to a member of our friendly customer service team.
