Air Conditioning Servicing & Maintenance in Auckland

Keep your system efficient, quiet, and under warranty with regular servicing.

Single-unit services and multi-unit maintenance plans available

Most manufacturer warranties expect regular servicing, and a clean, well-maintained heat pump uses noticeably less power to do the same job. A standard service takes under an hour per indoor unit and covers the parts that actually affect performance.

What's included in an air conditioning service?

A standard service includes cleaning or replacing filters, washing the indoor coil and outdoor condenser coil, checking the condensate drain is clear and draining properly, inspecting refrigerant pressures, testing electrical connections, and checking the remote/control settings are correctly configured. A good technician flags anything showing early wear so it can be planned for rather than causing an unexpected breakdown.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Most manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months for residential use, or every 6 months if the unit runs heavily (for example, in a home office used daily, or a commercial space). Coastal Auckland properties — think Devonport, St Heliers, or Browns Bay — benefit from more frequent outdoor coil cleaning due to salt air affecting the condenser fins.

Does servicing actually save money?

A dirty filter and coil make a heat pump work harder to move the same amount of air, which shows up directly on your power bill. Regular servicing keeps the system running at its rated efficiency, and catching a small issue — like a slightly low refrigerant charge — early is almost always cheaper than waiting for it to cause a bigger fault.

Frequently asked questions

Will servicing void or protect my warranty?

Regular servicing generally protects your warranty — most manufacturers specify servicing intervals as a condition of the warranty remaining valid. Most providers give a service record after every visit for your records.

Can I just clean the filters myself?

It's worth cleaning accessible filters every few months yourself between professional services. A full service also covers coils, drainage, and electrical checks that aren't accessible without removing panels safely.

Do you offer scheduled annual servicing plans?

Many providers can set up an annual reminder so a system gets serviced on schedule without the owner needing to keep track of it.
