What is preventative maintenance?
Normally, you only call a technician when your AC breaks down. But instead of waiting for unexpected damage, you can book preventative maintenance. This means checking, cleaning and maintaining your AC regularly so it keeps running well.
The process includes cleaning or replacing filters, cleaning coils, checking refrigerant, inspecting electrical parts and ensuring good airflow. It may seem like just a small reminder to check it occasionally but it can actually help you save a lot of money for repair costs and keep your home comfortable.

Tips for when to book air conditioning preventative maintenance
For residential AC
The best time to check residential AC units – commonly used in homes, is usually once a year. Over time, dust and dirt build up on filters and other parts. A yearly check-up helps clean these parts and spot small problems before turning to bigger ones.
For bigger residential AC
For bigger residential AC systems, like central or ducted units in larger homes, preventative maintenance may be needed more often, like every 6 months. These units usually run at higher capacity and have more parts, which means dust and wear build up faster.
For commercial AC
For commercial systems, you should book preventative maintenance once every quarter. In some places like at 24/7 gyms, we even come every month to clean. Since people work out and sweat a lot, all that air goes into the ventilation system, making regular cleaning becomes more essential.
Don’t wait until your AC breaks down. Book preventative maintenance now because when the heat hits, customers often have to wait a long time for service. Contact DEEPCHILL, your trusted air conditioning service Gold Coast so we can help you keep your AC running smoothly with dedicated regular care!
