How Often Do Split Systems Need Servicing To Run Smoothly?

Heating and cooling units are similar to your car.

If you don’t service them regularly, issues can build up over time, often without you knowing about them! If left unchecked, these minor issues can lead to much more expensive problems. Thus, it’s important to regularly service your air conditioning and heating unit to ensure that it’s running smoothly.

Service split system every 1-3 years

We recommend servicing your split heating and cooling systems every 1-3 years (depending on the model and the frequency of use).

However, obviously, if you notice that your split system doesn’t seem to be running properly, it’s important to call someone out to inspect the unit as soon as possible.

Here’s an example of a case that we saw in our recent work.

Split System Repair Scenario

We received a call from Lynda in Mill Park, whose split system unit was not responding to her remote. She wasn’t sure if it was the remote batteries or a larger problem.

We sent one of our licenced plumbers out to take a look and he went through all of the general testings to find the fault within the unit.

Upon disassembling part of the unit, our plumber found the filters to be full of dust. This was blocking up the system and resulted in the unit not working.

Our plumber cleaned the filters and put them back in, and like magic, the system started to work again!

Luckily for Lynda, the clogged filters hadn’t caused any further damage to the unit… But this isn’t always the case!

Sometimes it’s as simple as regularly servicing your unit to make them last as long as possible, keeping you at your desired temperature through all seasons.
