How to Prepare Your Air Conditioner for Summer

Australian Summers put enormous pressure on air conditioner systems. Preparing your unit before peak season helps avoid breakdowns when you need cooling the most.

Why air conditioner maintenance matters

A well-maintained system:

• Runs more efficiently

• Uses less electricity

• Lasts longer

• Provides better airflow and cooling

Neglecting maintenance often leads to higher bills and costly repairs.

Simple steps to prepare your air conditioner

Clean or replace filters

Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing the system to work harder and use more power.

Check vents and airflow

Ensure vents are clean and unobstructed by furniture, curtains or dust.

Test early

Run your system before summer hits to check for unusual noises, smells or performance issues.

Signs your air conditioner needs professional servicing

• Weak or uneven airflow

• Warm air blowing

• Loud or unusual noises

• Unpleasant smells

• Rising energy bills

Why professional servicing is important

Licensed technicians can identify refrigerant leaks, electrical issues and mechanical faults that aren’t visible to homeowners.
