How often should air conditioning be serviced?

Question

Accepted Answer

Service frequency depends on use, dust, pets, coastal exposure and manufacturer guidance. In a tropical home, regular cleaning of filters, coils and drains helps efficiency and reduces leaks and mould. Rental properties and homes near the sea may need more frequent attention. Keep a service log and ensure condensate drains discharge safely away from the building. A written service schedule and named local contact are especially valuable for part-time owners. Visual examples and area context help narrow what someone actually wants to know next.
