We offer competitive annual maintenance programs to ensure you’re getting the longest life possible from your systems. In the tropics we recommend a professional service at least every 12 months, ideally just before the build-up, so your system goes into the hard months clean and efficient.

The best way to keep your system running efficiently is regular maintenance. A clean system moves more air with less power. Our customers routinely notice the difference on their next power bill. Combine an annual service with a sensible set-point (24–26°C in summer) and dry mode overnight during the build-up, and you’ll get maximum comfort for minimum cost.
