A step-by-step tutorial on how to clean your ducted air conditioner filters
- Locate your return air grill.
- Using a ladder, undo the return air grill screw. Remember to keep the screw in its hole so the filter doesn’t fall out
- Undo any grub screws to allow the filter to slide out

Yearly Ducted Air Conditioner Maintenance
It’s highly recommended that you book your ducted air conditioner for a comprehensive yearly service with us to ensure maximum efficiency, longevity, and to protect your valuable 5-year manufacturer warranty. Regular maintenance not only enhances the performance of your air conditioner but also helps to avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs in the future.
Our professional air conditioning maintenance service includes a thorough check and cleaning of all essential components to guarantee your system is functioning at its best. Here’s a breakdown of the key tasks included in our maintenance package:
Cleaning filters, indoor, and outdoor coils: This ensures the system is operating at peak efficiency and airflow is unobstructed, which is crucial for proper cooling and heating. Dirty coils and filters can lead to decreased performance and higher energy consumption- Verifying refrigerant levels: Ensuring that your refrigerant is at the optimal level is crucial for cooling performance. Low refrigerant levels can cause your system to overwork, potentially leading to costly damage or system failure
- Ensuring heating and cooling functions are running optimally and at full capacity: Our experts will test both the heating and cooling functions to make sure they are working as expected and providing maximum comfort in your home or office
- Inspecting electrical connections: We carefully inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are secure, preventing any potential safety hazards or electrical failures
- Testing the thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can cause inconsistent temperatures and inefficient energy use. We’ll make sure your thermostat is calibrated and working properly to maintain the ideal indoor environment
- Cleaning out drains: Keeping the drainage system clear is essential to prevent water damage, mold growth, and unpleasant odors. We’ll clean out any blocked or clogged drains to keep everything running smoothly
- Cleaning louvres, diffusers, and grills: These components can accumulate dust and debris, which could affect airflow and system performance. We’ll ensure that these parts are thoroughly cleaned to enhance air quality and system efficiency.
By booking regular maintenance with us, you’re ensuring that your ducted air conditioning system runs at full capacity, with no leaks, no wasted electricity, and optimal comfort year-round.
