Split System Service & Maintenance Melbourne
EZYAIR provides professional split system service and maintenance for wall mounted reverse cycle split systems across metropolitan Melbourne, with two services to choose from: our Standard Preventive Maintenance Service and our Deep Clean Sanitation Service. A regular service keeps your air conditioner heating and cooling efficiently, removes built up dust and mould, and allows our technicians to identify faults before they become larger problems.
We service split systems from other brands and installers, not only the systems we install. Book a split system service or call 1300 EZYAIR (1300 399 247).
Why regular split system maintenance matters
Every air conditioner requires maintenance to ensure it is operating at optimal performance and efficiency. Regular maintenance:
- removes bacteria, mould, pollen, dust and microbial matter from the air conditioner, reducing the chances of sickness
- enables the air conditioner to operate at its maximum energy efficiency, saving on operating costs
- removes dander and debris trapped inside the filtration system, which can ignite due to an electrical fault
- eradicates odours such as mould and smoke, which can be a sign of a sick air conditioner
- dislodges blockages in the drain, which can otherwise cause the air conditioner to backflow and flood
Scheduled maintenance is also a requirement of every manufacturer's warranty.

Parts warranty
EZYAIR warrants all new parts installed during service and maintenance work for a period of six (6) months from the date of service. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of new parts only.
How often should a split 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. Our team can recommend a schedule that suits how you use your system.
Signs your split system needs a service
- unpleasant or musty odours when the system starts
- dust or visible mould on the filters or around the outlet of an indoor unit
- water dripping from an indoor unit, which can indicate a blocked drain
- weak airflow, or rooms that no longer reach the set temperature
- unusual noise from an indoor unit or the outdoor unit
- higher than usual energy use for the same level of comfort
If you notice any of these, contact our team to arrange a service.
