Most air conditioners in South East Queensland benefit from professional cleaning at least once a year — but many homes need it every six months, particularly if the unit runs daily through summer or if anyone in the household has asthma or allergies.
Queensland's warm, humid climate means mould, dust and bacteria accumulate inside AC units faster than in cooler, drier states. A unit that was spotless after its last clean can develop visible mould within a single humid season if used heavily.
As a general guide: if your air conditioner runs for more than six hours a day during summer, book a clean every six months. If it runs occasionally or mainly in shoulder seasons, annual cleaning is usually sufficient. If you've never had it professionally cleaned, have recently moved into a rental, or notice unusual smells or reduced performance, book a service sooner rather than later.
