What does an air conditioner service involve?

When you contact Breeze Air Conditioning Pty Ltd for a service, you can expect to receive a comprehensive check and test of every aspect of your aircon system. One of our technicians will turn up punctually on the appointed date and complete a full service of your system. This will include:

Checking your A/C unit for signs that water is escaping. This will involve cleaning the unit, removing any build-up of debris and inspecting it for signs of wear and/or damage.
Cleaning the evaporator/condenser fan, removing dirt and dust.
Cleaning the fins and air filter.
Checking the level of coolant and topping them up if necessary.
Cleaning the evaporator and condensing coils.
Inspecting the entire system for signs of damage or wear.
Checking the thermostat.
Completing checks on performance to ensure the unit is working optimally.

During the servicing process, you will also have the opportunity to make our technicians aware of any concerns you might have about your A/C’s performance so that they can check them out.

Signs you need to fix your aircon

The aircon takes longer than usual to reach the required temperature or fails to reach the required temperature at all.
The room temperature fluctuates for no obvious reason.
The unit makes a strange noise or smells odd.
Performance is intermittent – the unit may fail, then start up again.
Less cooling, even when the settings are on maximum.
Increase energy bills for no apparent reason.

Neglecting these problems may lead to the premature failure of your air conditioning system. In addition, a unit that’s inadequately working is less energy-efficient and more prone to requiring repair.

How to avoid air conditioner troubles

Keep coolant levels topped up.
Make sure that ducts and vents are cleaned regularly.
Keep doors and windows shut when the aircon is on to reduce stress on the system.
Keep the unit regularly inspected and serviced by a suitably trained technician.
Use blinds to reduce heat loss/gain through windows.
Invest in a programmable thermostat.
Keep humidifiers switched off unless necessary.

How often should my air conditioner be serviced?

Ideally, Air Conditioners should be serviced annually. We recommend servicing before the warmer months, to ensure your system is operating optimally when you need it most.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

Deciding whether to repair or replace an A/C system can be a difficult decision to make. We’ve highlighted some of the key factors to consider when deciding on repair or replacement.

When to repair

If your air conditioner is still under warranty, it should be repaired at no cost to you in the event of a fault. Most air conditioning systems come with a 10 to 15-year warranty.
If the repair is a small one.
If the system is generally performing well and is a good fit for your household.
If the repair is due to accidental damage (storm damage, for example) rather than a failure in performance due to wear or mechanical malfunction.

When to replace

If your air conditioning unit is more than fifteen years old, particularly if it’s breaking down and/or performing suboptimally on a regular basis.
If repairs are becoming more frequent – if you’ve had more than one repair in the past year, it may be more cost-effective to replace the system.
If the system isn’t energy efficient (either due to being dated and/or due to failing performance because of wear).
If the system isn’t keeping your property at the desired temperature.
If the system no longer meets the needs of your household.

Air Conditioning Repair & Servicing FAQs

Do emergency repairs require a follow-up?

We carry a wide selection of parts with us when we attend a job. This enables us to fix most air conditioning problems in a single visit.

What makes and models can you work on?

Our team can complete repairs and service all makes and models of air conditioning systems in Newcastle and beyond. This includes modern systems, as well as older options. We can work on both split-system and ducted air conditioning units.

Do you carry out repairs as part of the servicing process?

We complete minor repairs during servicing. For more extensive repairs or where parts need replacing, we will discuss the work with you and provide an estimate before carrying it out.

Why is my A/C using an increasing amount of refrigerant?

Over time, many A/C systems develop refrigerant leaks. These may be quite small, but over time can lead to a significant loss of refrigerant. If you notice you need to top up your refrigerant more frequently than usual, it’s important to get the problem solved promptly.
