Sydney’s winters are mild compared to Melbourne or Canberra — but that also means most Sydney homes run their heating systems for 3-4 months and then leave them completely idle for 8 months. That idle period is when dust builds up, belts dry out, and small problems turn into expensive ones.
A pre-winter service takes about an hour and can save you from a breakdown on the coldest night of the year.
What’s included in a ducted heating service?
- Filter clean or replacement — removes the dust and allergens built up over summer
- Indoor and outdoor unit inspection — check for leaks, corrosion, and wear
- Refrigerant pressure check — low refrigerant is the most common cause of poor heating performance
- Electrical connections inspection — loose connections cause faults and can be a fire risk
- Thermostat calibration — ensures the temperature you set is the temperature you get
- Zone damper test — confirms all zones open and close correctly
- Full system test run — we run the system in heating mode and confirm it’s performing correctly
