Ducted Air Conditioning Service & Maintenance Melbourne
EZYAIR provides professional ducted air conditioning service and maintenance for ducted reverse cycle (refrigerated) systems across metropolitan Melbourne. A regular service keeps your system heating and cooling efficiently, helps it run quietly and reliably, and allows our technicians to identify wear or faults before they become larger problems.
We service ducted reverse cycle systems from other brands and installers, not only the systems we install. EZYAIR specialises in the supply, installation and maintenance of ducted reverse cycle air conditioning. Book a ducted air conditioning service or call 1300 EZYAIR (1300 399 247).
Why regular ducted air conditioning maintenance matters
A ducted reverse cycle system works hard through both Melbourne winters and summers. Its indoor fan coil sits out of sight in the roof space or under the floor, and its outdoor unit is exposed to the weather, so small issues can go unnoticed for a long time. Regular maintenance helps to:
- keep the system operating at its best energy efficiency, which helps control running costs
- remove dust and debris from the filters, so the system can move air freely around your home
- keep the condensate drain clear, reducing the risk of blockages and water overflow
- identify worn fan components, loose wiring or refrigerant leaks early
- confirm the system is heating and cooling correctly in every mode
What is included in our ducted reverse cycle service?
Every EZYAIR ducted maintenance visit follows the same detailed checklist, covering the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, the electrical components, the filters and ductwork, and a final performance check.

Ducted air conditioning service pricing
Ducted service pricing depends on the capacity of your system. View our ducted maintenance price list (opens in a new tab). Prices are a guide; we confirm the exact price when you book.
How often should a ducted system be serviced?
As a general guide, EZYAIR recommends air conditioning maintenance every 400 working hours in a domestic environment, and every 200 working hours (or less) in a commercial environment, depending on the indoor air quality. Homes with pets, nearby building works or high dust levels may benefit from more frequent servicing. Our team can recommend a schedule that suits how you use your system.
Signs your ducted air conditioner needs a service
- unusual noise or vibration from the indoor or outdoor unit
- weak airflow from the outlets, or rooms that no longer reach the set temperature
- water leaking from the ceiling or around the indoor unit, which can indicate a blocked condensate drain
- unpleasant odours when the system starts
- the controller showing an error, or the system not operating correctly in heating or cooling mode
- higher than usual energy use for the same level of comfort
If you notice any of these, contact our team to arrange an inspection.
