Common problems
Signs Your Cooling System Is Overdue for a Proper Clean
A system rarely fails clean. These are the signs we see most on cleaning calls around the suburb:
- Weak airflow from the outlets or the wall unit, usually a choked filter.
- A musty smell at start-up, which points to mould on the indoor coil. Our air conditioner smell page explains more.
- Air that runs but barely cools, often a fouled coil rather than a fault. See air conditioner blowing warm air.
- Power bills creeping up across summer without any change in how you use the system.
- Visible dust or leaf litter building around the outdoor unit.
Mature street trees line the heritage streetscapes here, and leaf litter and pollen get pulled through outdoor coils every summer. Left alone, that build-up forces the system to run longer for less cooling.
In detail
What a Professional Aircon Clean Actually Involves
A proper clean goes well beyond hosing a filter under the tap. Here is what the job covers on a typical visit, whether your place is a villa or a newer build:
Filters and Outlets
Filters and outlets get stripped and washed, and we vacuum dust from the casework and louvres. On a ducted system that means every return-air filter through the house.
Coils and Drains
The indoor coil gets a proper wash, because dust baked onto the fins chokes airflow. We flush the condensate drain too, which is what prevents water stains on ceilings.
The Outdoor Unit
Outside, we clear debris from the condenser coil and check the fan. A unit breathing freely cuts run time, and that shows up on your next power bill.
Checklist
Cleaning Split Systems and Ducted Units in Older Houses
Much of the housing stock here is stone-fronted villas, Federation cottages and California bungalows on tight blocks, and that changes how a clean runs. Narrow side passages and low roof spaces slow access, but we plan for them on every visit.
- Wall split systems in stone and double-brick walls often sit where pipework hides, so we protect finishes while we work.
- Ducted runs in renovated villas can carry decades of dust, and we clean what is reachable and tell you honestly what is not.
- Evaporative roof units need ladder access plus a check of pads and water feeds, which we fold into the same visit.
In detail
Evaporative Pads and Pre-Summer Servicing
Evaporative units are common on local roofs because they suit Adelaide's dry summer, but they need seasonal servicing a refrigerated system never does. Pads, water feeds and bleed-off all need attention before the first hot spell, and our evaporative cooling page covers the full picture.

Good to know
Your Cleaning Questions, Answered
How often should air conditioning get a professional clean?
Most systems do well with a yearly clean before summer, while evaporative units need pads and water feeds checked at the same visit to stay healthy through the dry months.
Can a dirty system cause warm air or smells?
Yes, a choked filter or fouled coil starves airflow and can leave air barely cool, and mould on an indoor coil is behind most musty smells we get called out for.
Is cleaning harder in older stone homes?
Tight side passages and low roof spaces can slow access on the older blocks, but we work around stone and double-brick construction every week, so most cleans finish within a couple of hours.
How long does a cleaning visit take?
A wall split usually takes about an hour, while a ducted system or an evaporative unit takes longer because there are more filters, pads and outlets to work through on the day.
Do pensioners get a discount on cleaning work?
Yes, we offer a 10% pensioner discount on cleaning and every other job, and new customers can also take $50 off first service with us, just mention either when you book.
