Common problems
Signs Your Aircon Is Overdue for a Clean
A system rarely fails without warning. It tells you first, and most people just put up with it. Watch for:
- Weak airflow from the vents, even on high
- A musty smell when the unit kicks in
- The system running longer to hold the same temperature
- Dust building up around the outlets
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
Any of these point to airflow or drainage choked by dust and grime. Our pages on units leaking water and aircon smell cover the worst of them in detail. A clean is usually the cheapest fix on the list.

What Our Air Conditioning Cleaning Covers
A proper clean goes well beyond the filter you can rinse in the laundry sink. Here's what the visit includes:
Filters and coils
We pull and wash the filters, then clean the evaporator coil where dust bakes on in the dry heat. A blocked coil forces the system to run longer for less cooling, which shows up on your power bill.
Condensate and drainage
We flush the condensate line and tray so water goes where it should. Blocked drains are the main reason indoor units drip onto walls and floors, and it's a five-minute fix during a clean.
Outdoor units and ducts
The outdoor coil gets hosed clear of dust and leaf litter, and on ducted systems we check returns and outlets through the roof space. Restricted airflow anywhere in the chain drags the whole system down.

Evaporative Cooling Cleaning Before Summer
Evaporative systems need their own seasonal service, and spring is the time to book it. Pads, water feeds and bleed-off lines all need checking after a unit has sat dry all winter.
Adelaide's dry heat is exactly what evaporative suits, and a clean system runs cheap with the windows open. Our evaporative cooling page explains how these units work.
Pricing
What Drives the Cost of a Clean
Every job is quoted at a fixed price on site, so you know the figure before we lift a tool. Four things move the number:
System type
Number of units
Access
Time since the last clean
If a clean reveals a fault rather than just dirt, we'll tell you straight. Repairs are quoted separately, and our repairs team handles the fix.

- 02
Quick inspection
The technician checks the system over before starting, so any existing faults are flagged up front. Nothing gets cleaned around a problem you haven't been told about.
- 03
The clean itself
Filters, coils, drains and the outdoor unit, done in order with the covers back on properly. Ducted and evaporative systems get their extra steps as standard.

Testing and report
We run the system through a full cycle and confirm airflow and drainage before we leave. You get a straight summary of the system's condition and anything worth watching.

Air Conditioning Cleaning Questions
How often should an air conditioner be cleaned?
Most split systems need a professional clean every twelve to eighteen months, while ducted systems and units working hard through long dry summers do better on an annual cycle.
Do you clean ducted systems in the older semis here?
Yes. Many post-war semis in Kilburn have roof cavities that take ducted runs, and we work through tight access without fuss, cleaning filters, coils and duct outlets as one job.
Why does my aircon smell musty when it starts?
A musty smell usually means mould or bacteria on a damp coil or filter. A proper clean removes the source rather than masking it, and the smell stops returning.
Do evaporative coolers need different cleaning?
They do. Pads, water feeds and bleed-off lines need checking before every summer, because a unit that sat dry all winter often needs a start-up service to run properly.
Can you clean units in homes near the Kilburn Community Centre?
Yes, we clean systems on streets like Hawkesbury Avenue and Carroll Avenue and right across the inner north. Cleaning visits are quoted at a fixed price before any work begins.
