We know how important our air cons are when the summer heat or winter chills set in. That’s why when we service air conditioning, we want to ensure your system is set up for long-term heating and cooling so you won’t be calling us for a repairs service in the middle of a heatwave.
Why Air Conditioner Maintenance is Important
Annual servicing and maintenance is one of the best air conditioning tips but is often neglected. An AC or refrigeration service is great preventative maintenance that will help to identify failing parts before they become a major and more costly problem. By skipping air conditioner & refrigeration maintenance, you run the risk of encountering mistakes you never bargained for.
Reverse cycle air cons especially benefit from a seasonal service and will love a spring clean ahead of a busy summer.
What about the air filters on air conditioning systems? When was the last time they were checked over and cleaned? These are responsible for filtering the air used in air conditioners and removing airborne contaminants which can make allergy sufferers and asthmatics sick.
A build-up of these contaminants on the filter means it won’t filter the air as effectively and will impact your home’s air quality. This can also make the system work harder, meaning parts will wear out faster and require repairs.
Air conditioner maintenance can go a long way in helping to prevent these problems. A qualified air conditioning technician will know what to look out for during a service to ensure you have heating and cooling when you need it.
Emergency Air Conditioning Service
Has your air conditioner given up in the middle of a heatwave or your cold-room suddenly stop working or is the beer fridge not working at the pub?

You’re in luck – Belfreeze has an emergency air conditioning service to save the day.

FAQ's
A technician will test the thermostat, detect potential faults, remove debris, carbon monoxide test, chemical clean the unit, top up refrigerant levels and more as required, to ensure a system works at peak performance. This could also help extend the lifespan of your air conditioner and provide cleaner air. You should clean the filters every 3 months, although an air conditioning technician should perform the actual service once per year before peak use.
It’s certainly not encouraged as you could potentially damage the system, void its warranty and on top of this some repairs can only be performed by a license professional. You are also dealing with electricity, so there’s potential for serious injuries. Our technicians are license and trained in all aspects of air conditioning and can take care of the fix without causing further damage. Although it can often be more cost effective to purchase a new unit instead of repairing a decades-old system. Metropolitan can walk you through the steps to determine what’s right for you.
Dirt and dust will build up blocking the filters and limiting performance. This could also reduce the lifespan of an air conditioner resulting in repairs or the need to purchase a new system. There are also health benefits to consider. A build up of allergens and contaminants can affect the quality of air flow affecting asthmatics and anyone with allergies. And if refrigerant gases leak, your system could continue to blow air but may lose the ability to heat and cool.
