FAQs
How often should I have my heating and air-conditioning equipment serviced in Mascot?
For Mascot’s humid summers and mild winters, we recommend two routine maintenance visits per year—one in autumn for your heating components and another in spring for your cooling system. This timing ensures the equipment is tuned and ready before the periods of highest demand, keeps your warranty intact, and maximises energy efficiency.
What does a standard routine maintenance visit include?
Our technician will: 1) inspect and clean indoor and outdoor coils, 2) replace or wash air filters, 3) check refrigerant charge and look for leaks, 4) test thermostat calibration and safety controls, 5) tighten electrical connections, 6) lubricate moving parts, 7) clear the condensate drain, and 8) assess ductwork for leaks or blockages. You’ll receive a written report listing any issues found and recommendations for repairs or upgrades.
Why is regular maintenance important if my system seems to be working fine?
Even when your HVAC system appears healthy, dust, vibration and normal wear gradually reduce efficiency. Routine maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns, extends equipment life by up to 30 %, can cut energy use by 10–20 %, maintains indoor air quality, and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid (most brands require documented annual servicing).
Will a maintenance plan really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Clean coils, correct refrigerant levels and unobstructed airflow allow the compressor and fan motors to run at their designed efficiency. Studies by the Australian Government’s YourHome guide show well-maintained systems use up to 15 % less electricity than neglected units, translating to noticeable savings during Mascot’s peak summer cooling season.
What signs indicate I should schedule a service sooner than my next routine visit?
Book a check-up as soon as you notice reduced airflow, uneven temperatures, unexplained spikes in your energy bill, strange odours or noises, frequent cycling on/off, or water pooling around the indoor unit. Early attention prevents minor faults from turning into costly repairs or system failures on the hottest or coldest days.
Can I perform HVAC maintenance myself?
Homeowners can safely clean or replace return-air filters and keep outdoor condenser coils free of leaves and debris. However, tasks involving refrigerant handling, electrical testing, pressure measurements and internal component cleaning require a licensed technician under Australian regulations (ARCtick). DIY work on these areas can void your warranty and pose safety risks, so always arrange professional servicing for complete maintenance.
