Heating and cooling services · Canberra, ACT

Air conditioning and heating services in Canberra, ACT, done properly.

Canberra’s frosty winters and hot, dry summers work a system hard at both ends of the year.

Every service covers the whole system, indoor and outdoor, with the readings written down, for a flat fee agreed before we start, on any brand.

Air conditioning service · Canberra, ACT

What our split system air conditioner service in Canberra actually covers.

Every reverse cycle split system we service in Canberra gets the same 12-point check, indoor and outdoor, for one flat fee. It is air conditioning maintenance that pays off twice here, because the same unit carries your cooling in January and your heating in July. If a check fails, we stop, show you, and quote the repair before any extra work. Ducted heating, gas heating and evaporative cooling services follow their own checklists, and every gas heater gets a carbon monoxide test.

Before the covers come off

We start by listening and watching the system run. Most faults give themselves away before a single panel is removed.

Hear the history

Rattles, musty smells, water marks, fault codes, the bedroom that never warms up. You live with the system, so we start with what you've noticed.

Test heating and cooling

Both modes on high fan. We record airflow, noise and smell first, so there is something to compare after the clean.

Make it safe and tidy

Power isolated and tagged at the outdoor unit. Drop sheets under the indoor unit, shoe covers on.

Take the "before" photos

Filters, coil face and outdoor unit, so you can see the difference for yourself.

Inside: the indoor unit

Where dust, spring pollen and mould collect, and where most smells and leaks begin.

Filters removed and washed

Inspected for tears and warping too. A filter that doesn't sit flat lets dust past and onto the coil.

Indoor coil cleaned

Cleaner worked through the fins and rinsed off, so air passes through the whole coil instead of around a clogged patch.

Barrel fan cleaned

The fan behind the louvres. Dark build-up here is what blows musty air and black flecks into the room.

Drain tray and line cleared

Flushed, then tested with water. A sluggish drain is the usual cause of water running down the wall.

Outside: the outdoor unit and testing

The half most services skip. In Canberra it sits through hard frosts on winter mornings and dry heat all summer.

Outdoor coil washed

Leaves, lint and cobwebs cleared and the coil washed through. A blocked coil runs hot in summer and gives less heat on a frosty morning.

Fan, brackets and wiring checked

Fan blades, mounts, vibration pads and pipe insulation inspected, electrical terminals tightened.

Pressures and air temperatures

Gauges connected and air temperature measured in and out. That is the proof the system is heating and cooling as it should.

Written report and walkthrough

Readings, photos and any recommendations explained before we go. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When to book in Canberra

When to book your heating and air conditioning service in Canberra.

Service before the season, not in the middle of it. Canberra’s heating season is a long one, with frosts from autumn well into spring, and summer still brings runs of days in the high 30s. Most homes lean on one reverse cycle system for both, so the right time for an air conditioning service in Canberra depends on which season matters more in your house. As a rule, service a split system once a year, or twice if it works hard in both. A ducted gas heating service is due at least every two years, and an evaporative cooling service belongs before the first hot spell.

Heating matters most

Book your heater service between March and May, and earlier is better in Canberra. A reverse cycle or gas ducted system that sat idle all summer shows its faults on the first frosty night, when every technician in town is already booked out.

Cooling matters most

Book between September and November, before the first run of 35-degree days. That is when a dirty outdoor coil or an unserviced evaporative cooler turns into a breakdown and a hot night.

Hay fever or pets at home

Service twice a year, once before each season. Canberra's grass pollen season runs from October to December and loads filters and coil faces quickly. A clean coil means cleaner air in the room.

Which areas of Canberra and the ACT do you service?

We service homes and businesses right across Canberra: the City and Inner North, the Inner South, Belconnen, Gungahlin, the Woden Valley, Weston Creek, the Molonglo Valley and Tuggeranong. Use the suburb checker on this page, or ask when you book and we’ll confirm.

What's included in an air conditioning service in Canberra?

Every split system service follows the same 12-step checklist:

wash the filters and clean the indoor coil and barrel fan
flush the drain line and test it with water
wash the outdoor coil
check the fan, brackets and wiring
record pressures and air temperatures in both heating and cooling

You get a written report with the readings and photos. If a check fails, we show you and quote the repair before any extra work.

How much does an air conditioning service cost in Canberra?

Servicing is a fixed flat fee: $259 for new customers and $249 for returning customers, applied automatically. The price is the same for any brand of air conditioner. If we find something that needs more work, you get a clear quote first and nothing goes ahead without your approval.

How often should I service my air conditioner in Canberra?

At least once a year. Most Canberra homes rely on one reverse cycle system for a long heating season and a hot summer, so if yours works hard in both, service it twice a year: before winter and before summer. Homes with pets, hay fever or a lot of dust also benefit from air conditioning maintenance every six months.

When is the best time to book a heating or air conditioning service in Canberra?

Before the season, not during it. Book a heater service between March and May, before the first hard frost. Book a pre-summer air conditioning service between September and November, before the first run of hot days. Bookings fill quickly once a cold snap or heatwave arrives, so booking early saves you a wait.

Can you service my reverse cycle split system for heating as well as cooling?

Yes. A reverse cycle split system is a heater as well as an air conditioner, and in Canberra it usually works harder in winter than in summer. Every service tests it in both modes. We also check that the outdoor unit defrosts properly, which matters on frosty mornings anywhere from Gungahlin to Tuggeranong.

Do you service ducted heating and cooling in Canberra?

Yes. We service ducted reverse cycle systems of all sizes. A ducted service includes:

cleaning the return-air filter
checking the indoor fan coil and duct connections
testing the zone motors and controller
cleaning and checking the outdoor unit

That keeps every room heating and cooling evenly. Gas ducted heating has its own service, covered in the next question.

Do you service gas heaters and test for carbon monoxide?

Yes. Many Canberra homes still heat with gas ducted heating or a gas wall furnace. Carbon monoxide has no smell or colour, and a poorly maintained gas heater can leak it into your home. Our licensed gasfitters carry out your gas heater service and test for carbon monoxide with calibrated equipment. The test is standard with every gas heating service, and you get the results in writing.

What's the difference between a service and a repair?

A service is routine maintenance that keeps a working system clean, efficient and reliable. A repair is for a fault: no heating or cooling, leaks, noise or error codes. For air conditioner and heater repairs we find the cause on site, quote the fix and repair most problems in one visit. Regular servicing is the best way to avoid them.
