The importance of maintaining your air-conditioning system

Indoor air quality is often a concern when deciding to implement an air conditioning system.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of your system are necessary for achieving its overall optimum lifespan. Units will collect dirt over time and have the potential to contain large amounts of dust and particles.

In a regular building environment, a great deal of contaminants and air pollutants are generated, including dust and chemicals. These contaminants are pulled into the air-conditioning system and recirculated up to 7 times per day on average. Over time, the re-circulation will cause a build-up of contaminants in the ductwork.

A contaminated system doesn’t necessarily mean the air is unhealthy, but an unmaintained system can contribute to larger health issues or harbour contaminants which could cause serious problems for people with respiratory health conditions.

Benefits of maintenance and inspection

Having a professional carry out a comprehensive examination of your system to determine whether there is an accumulation of environmental build up, can not only ensure optimal performance of your air-conditioning unit but a healthier environment,

The role of an inspector is to assess the cleanliness and structural integrity of your system. They will search for obstructions, microbial contamination and any excess moisture. They will also examine the general running and performance of the system to ensure energy efficiency is optimal.
