Preventative Maintenance: The Lifesaver For Your Aircon

September 4, 2025

When the heat and humidity return to the Gold Coast, many homeowners discover their air conditioner won’t start after months of sitting idle. The demand for repairs skyrockets, and waiting times can stretch to 3-4 weeks across the industry. But there’s one way to avoid being caught in the summer scramble: aircon preventative maintenance with DEEPCHILL.

What is aircon preventative maintenance at DEEPCHILL?

Preventative maintenance isn’t just a “quick clean”. At DEEPCHILL, it’s a comprehensive service designed to keep your air conditioner in top condition year-round, extending its lifespan and ensuring smooth performance when you need it most.

Here’s what our technicians actually do:

  • Test every system mode (heating and cooling) before service begins.
  • Brush down return air grills to remove dust and improve airflow.
  • Remove, jet wash, and dry filters for cleaner, healthier air.
  • Apply antibacterial treatments on coils and filters for hygiene.
  • Check condensate pumps and drains to prevent water leaks.
  • Record refrigerant levels and pressures to ensure efficient operation.
  • Measure intake and output temperatures for accurate system performance.
  • Jet wash condensers and coils with fresh water if needed.
  • For ducted systems, we also inspect ductwork, zone motors, and ceiling drain pans to prevent costly leaks.

This level of detail means fewer breakdowns, better efficiency, and peace of mind before the heat waves hit.

Every summer, demand surges and homeowners who skipped maintenance are left waiting weeks for repairs. Booking air conditioning preventative maintenance now ensures you won’t be stuck without cooling when the Gold Coast humidity peaks. Acting early also helps keep warranties valid, as many manufacturers may void cover if the unit hasn’t been serviced.
