Staying cool in the South African heat is just one reason to keep your air conditioner in top condition. What many homeowners overlook is that regular aircon servicing does far more than just regulate temperature—it safeguards your family’s comfort, health, and energy bills.
At Right Air, our Air Conditioning Maintenance & Repair service goes above and beyond standard care. We don’t just clean filters—we offer deep inspections, hygiene treatments, and preventative repairs designed to extend the lifespan of your air conditioner and reduce running costs. Whether you own a wall-split unit or a swimming pool heat pump, routine servicing is essential.
Why Regular Aircon Servicing Is Worth It
1. Prevent Costly Breakdowns
Air conditioners often show no symptoms until something major goes wrong—like a refrigerant leak or a blown capacitor. Left unchecked, these issues can result in expensive emergency repairs or full unit replacements.
That’s why our 20+ point inspection, included in every major service for wall split aircons, is designed to catch small problems before they become big ones. From refrigerant levels to coil function and fan operation, we ensure your system is running exactly as it should—giving you peace of mind before summer hits.
2. Lower Electricity Bills Through Efficiency
Did you know that dirty filters and blocked coils can force your AC to consume up to 30% more energy?
By cleaning or replacing filters, clearing coils, and checking the airflow path, we restore your system to peak efficiency. According to the Department of Mineral Resources & Energy, setting your indoor temperature to around 23 °C is the sweet spot for both energy savings and comfort—something you’ll achieve more easily with a well-maintained system.
3. Healthier Indoor Air Quality
A neglected aircon can become a breeding ground for dust, mould, bacteria, and even pests. This is especially concerning for families with children, elderly residents, or those who suffer from allergies.
Our aircon hygiene and sterilisation services include coil disinfecting, drain flushing, and microbial treatment. This process improves not only your AC’s performance, but also your home’s air quality—resulting in fewer sneezes and a better night’s sleep.
4. Keep Your Warranty Valid
Most manufacturers require professional servicing at set intervals to keep your warranty intact. Using unauthorised parts or skipping annual checks may void your warranty altogether.
Right Air’s technicians are fully qualified and use OEM-approved components. We also document every visit and part replacement—so if you need to make a claim later, you have proof of compliant servicing.
