Ducted air conditions require very little maintenance. Below are the few things you need to do in regards to regular maintenance for your ducted reverse cycle air conditioner.

The return air grille is the big grille (usually located in the hallway). It needs to be cleaned about every 6 months (or sooner if it gets dirty quickly). Some controller's will display a filter on the screen every 6 months or so to remind you of this.

To clean the filter you need to pull back the clips or turn a screw and the grille should pivot down. Then you can vacuum the filter whilst still in the grille or you can remove the filter and either vacuum or clean with soapy water. If you clean with soapy water, remember to not dry in the sun as this will cause the filter to warp.

Once cleaned the filter will not need to be cleaned again for around 6 months. However,if the return air grille of your air conditioner becomes noisier than usual, or the air conditioner cools/heats less than normal it is a good sign that the filter needs a clean.

The outdoor part of the air-conditioning unit is largely maintenance free. You will notice water dripping from the drains of the system but this is a sign that the air-conditioner is running correctly. Keep the fans clear of debris and sticks and consider applying a spray or film on the outdoor unit to slow down rust if you live in a coastal area. Before applying any chemical however you should check with the manufacturer.

Other than this your air conditioning system is maintenance free. As a precaution it is advisable however to have someone inspect the system every 4 to 5 years to check for any major wear and tear.
