Regular maintenance of your air conditioning system helps catch small problems before they become expensive repairs. Whether it’s a home system or a commercial install, keeping it properly maintained ensures it runs efficiently, reliably, and safely.
During a routine maintenance visit, we typically carry out the following:
Regular Maintenance Saves you Money
What is involved?
Indoor Unit Checks
- Clean air filters
- Clean facial panels and covers
- Clean and disinfect evaporator coils
- Clean indoor fan (if needed)
- Check remote control function
- Take temperature readings
- Switch between heating and cooling modes (if applicable)
Drainage and Leak Prevention
- Check condensate drain and pump operation
- Inspect for blockages or dirty sensors
- Leak testing
- Visual inspection of pipework and insulation
Outdoor Unit Checks
- Chemically clean condenser coil
- Check compressor and inverter operation
- Electrical tests and safety inspections
- Fan operation check
Why Is Maintenance Important?
The most common air conditioning issues—water leaks, poor cooling or heating, and system faults—are nearly always caused by lack of maintenance. For example:
- Blocked drains or dirty sensors can cause leaks.
- Dirty filters can reduce performance and airflow.
- Refrigerant issues or worn pipe insulation can wreck efficiency.
Even if your system seems to be running fine, dirty or worn parts make it work harder, which uses more electricity and leads to higher running costs. Something as simple as a clogged filter can cause your unit to run longer, increasing energy use and wear on components.
One common issue we find is disintegrated pipe insulation, leaving the copper exposed. This drastically reduces efficiency and increases system strain—something you’d never spot unless you had it checked.
Maintenance Makes Systems Last Longer
A system that’s never been maintained is far more likely to fail early. Over time, dust, dirt, and grime build up—forcing the system to work harder and putting extra wear on parts like the compressor. Regular servicing keeps everything running at peak performance and extends the lifespan of your system.
How Much Does It Cost?
At AireFresco, we offer maintenance contracts starting from just 60€ per visit, depending on the system and setup. The ideal maintenance schedule depends on usage, location, and environment—but even one visit a year can make a big difference.
