Air Conditioning Maintenance for Your Home

As we step into 2026, now is the perfect time to make home maintenance a priority. A well-maintained home is more energy-efficient, comfortable, and cost-effective, and your air conditioning system plays a central role. Regular maintenance ensures your AC runs smoothly, keeps energy bills down, and prolongs the life of your system.


At Cold Control, we don’t just install air conditioning, we provide expert servicing and maintenance to keep your system performing at its best.


Why Air Conditioning Maintenance Matters

Many homeowners overlook air conditioning maintenance, assuming their system doesn’t need attention until it breaks down. In reality, proactive servicing prevents costly repairs, improves air quality, and boosts energy efficiency. By taking a few simple steps, you can start 2026 with a system that works reliably year-round.


1. Clean Air Con Filter*

A clean filter is one of the simplest, yet most important, ways to maintain your system. Replacing filters every three months:

  • Reduces energy consumption

  • Improves indoor air quality

  • Extends the life of your HVAC system


Our professional service ensures your system stays clean, efficient, and safe, so you’ll be breathing easier all year, especially as we transition into the high pollen seasons.


Cold Control service engineers carry out a full deep clean of your air con filters using professional-grade cleaners and disinfectants.


2. Clean AC Drain Line*

Your AC drain line removes condensation from your system. Over time, it can become clogged with dust, debris, or slimy build-up, potentially causing leaks or mould.

We deep clean your AC drain lines with approved cleaners to maintain hygiene and add Smelly Jellies to the drain pan for a fresh, pleasant scent.

Keeping the drain clear helps your system operate efficiently and reduces the risk of water damage.


*Protect Your Warranty

To maintain your warranty, most manufacturers insist on regular professional servicing, making routine maintenance an important part of protecting your air conditioning system.


3. Seal Drafty Windows

Drafty windows force your AC system to work harder. Cold air seeping in during winter or warm air entering during summer increases energy use and utility bills.


Simple ways to improve insulation include:

·       Applying caulking or weatherstripping

·       Using draft snakes along sills

·       Installing thermal curtains or plastic window film


Sealing drafts reduces strain on your air conditioning system and helps maintain a stable, comfortable home environment.


Stay Compliant with Air Conditioning Legislation

Regulations now require regular inspections all air conditioning systems. If your property has a system over 12kW, it must be inspected by a qualified assessor, and inspection records must be kept up to date every five years. These inspections ensure your system is safe, efficient, and compliant with legal requirements. Cold Control can carry out these inspections, provide the necessary documentation, and help you maintain full compliance while keeping your system running smoothly.
