Many people are unaware that like many other things in our home, our air conditioners also need routine servicing and maintenance. The truth is that often the air that we breathe in our homes is filled with a number of allergens and pollutants, making it dirtier than what we would breathe outdoors. The culprit of less than perfect air quality in the home is often caused by a neglected air conditioning system.
Over time this can wreak havoc on the respiratory health of your family, especially for the elderly and those suffering from asthma. If you’ve had a cold that you can’t seem to shake, chances are it could be the indoor air quality in your home – caused by dirty carpets, and often a dirty air conditioner. From dust, dander, pollen and mould growth, other health issues from a dirty and poorly maintained AC system (both ducted and split systems) can include:

• Coughing and wheezing
• Sneezing
• Dry eyes and irritated throat
• Sinus congestion

It’s actually fairly easy for homeowners to clean their air conditioner filter and we explain how to do this simple task here. However, while cleaning the filter helps, often older systems, or homes with additional dust from pets, carpets or other factors, require additional cleaning of AC components, and a more extensive cleaning of the system is required. This deep cleaning will get into the hard-to-reach places in system while use specialised HVAC cleaning products to reduce the growth of bacteria and mould.

What air conditioning servicing and repair will do:

• Improve the indoor air quality for a healthier home.
• Extend the life of your system by saving on future breakdowns and repairs
• Improve the running of the system and efficiency reducing the strain on the system and lower running costs.
• Remove trapped dirt, dust, mould and other grime from grilles, condenser drain pains, filters and coils

The truth is that air conditioning systems that are cleaned and well maintained actually make our indoors cleaner by improving airflow and removing pollutants and moisture from the air.
