We offer planned preventative maintenance contracts, designed to avoid expensive callouts or breakdowns, thus saving you avoidable costs and worry.
Importance of regular maintenance
When it comes to your business’s air conditioning system, being proactive about maintenance pays off in many ways. By taking preventive measures to address minor issues, you get in front of problems before they occur, optimise performance, and provide essential comfort.
Extended lifespan
Regular maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of your air conditioner. Addressing minor issues promptly could potentially save you from premature and more expensive replacements.
Cost savings
Routine check-ups save you money in the long run by preventing major breakdowns and expensive repairs. Unmaintained units can be up to 10 per cent less efficient, thus increasing your running costs.
Comfort for all
Well-maintained systems ensure a pleasant business environment for both your employees and customers. Employees have improved productivity, and your customers will be happier to wait in more comfortable environments.

Typical inspection and maintenance
Filters, coils, and drainage all require regular maintenance to function properly.
Filters need cleaning or replacement to maintain airflow and prevent dust accumulation, thus promoting fresher air quality.
Dirty coils significantly reduce cooling efficiency, so keeping them clean will keep the air in your business cool.
Finally, clean drains prevent water leaks and maintain system efficiency, thus allowing the air to circulate effectively.
The refrigerant gas within your air conditioning system enables it to produce hot and cool air.
If refrigerant levels drop too low due to leaks, your system will not operate at the desired temperature.
Leaking refrigerant gases also damage the environment when released.
Our technicians are fully licensed and certified to inspect air conditioning systems for leaks.
After each maintenance visit, we provide a detailed F-Gas report that satisfies environmental compliance legislation for cooling systems.
A critical part of any air conditioning maintenance check is examination of the electrical components that power and control the system.
Here’s what we typically look out for:
Tighten and clean electrical connections
- Electrical connections are inspected and secured if loose or damaged.
Test safety controls and heating elements
- Safety controls are tested to ensure they function correctly.
- Verify that heating valves operate as intended.
- Properly functioning safety features prevent accidents and system failures.
Preventive versus reactive maintenance
When it comes to machine maintenance, your business can take either a preventive or a reactive approach.
Setpoint22 recommends preventive maintenance with regular check-ups and servicing, even when systems seem to be running smoothly.
A preventive approach pays dividends by preventing costly breakdowns and sustaining optimum efficiency of your system.
In contrast, reactive maintenance means waiting for problems and breakdowns to arise before taking action. Being reactive can lead to higher expenses, especially when disruptive system failures inevitably occur and rushed repairs become necessary.
Even if your AC seems fine, regular commercial air conditioning maintenance prevents hidden problems from escalating – such as issues with the refrigerant gases (F-Gases) that allow the system to cool properly.
Improper F-Gas levels, or leaks, can lead to decreased cooling performance, higher energy costs, and environmental impact if not addressed by trained technicians.
All Setpoint22 engineers are fully trained and have a certificate of compliance with the F-Gas Regulations from Refcom. Our engineers can legally service refrigeration and stationary air conditioning equipment for businesses while adhering to environmental legislation.
Commercial air conditioning maintenance isn’t just about comfort; it’s a strategic investment in your business. Regular check-ups, best practices, and timely scheduling ensure efficient operation, cost savings, and a pleasant working environment.
Don’t overlook the maintenance of your air conditioning system.

FAQs
Yes, to ensure they operate efficiently and to prevent future breakdowns, regular maintenance is essential.
Legal regulations now mandate that most air conditioning systems must be serviced at minimum once per year. However, more frequent maintenance may be necessary beyond this legal minimum if your air conditioning equipment or business location has factors that impact functionality or wear and tear.
Key tasks include cleaning coils and filters, lubricating parts, inspecting electrical systems, testing drainage, and managing refrigerants.
Maintenance is preventive care to keep the system running smoothly, whereas service extends beyond the realm of maintenance, delving into more specialised care when problems are detected.
Costs vary but investing in maintenance can save money by preventing costly repairs and reducing energy consumption.

Most experts recommend Spring as the ideal time to arrange commercial air conditioning maintenance.
However, the truth is that a regular maintenance schedule is more important – irrespective of when the work takes place.
As mentioned above, an effective system isn’t solely about keeping staff, customers, and visitors cool during hot summer days; it’s also essential to create the optimum temperature in your space year around.
