Daikin is one of the most trusted air conditioning brands in Australia, known for its reliability, energy efficiency and performance in homes across Melbourne. But even the best air conditioners need regular servicing to maintain airflow, reduce running costs and prevent avoidable breakdowns.

At Direct Point Heating & Cooling, we provide professional Daikin air conditioner servicing for split systems, multi‑split units and ducted reverse cycle systems. Our thorough servicing process helps your system run efficiently, extends the life of the unit and ensures it remains compliant with Daikin’s warranty requirements.

Why Servicing Your Daiking Air – Conditioner Matters

Like any heating and cooling system, dust, mould and general wear can gradually affect how well your Daikin performs. When filters clog or coils become dirty, the system has to work harder to deliver the same results. This leads to higher power bills, reduced airflow, temperature inconsistencies and early component failure.

Daikin recommends annual servicing by a licensed technician to keep systems operating correctly. Regular maintenance ensures the system continues to deliver the high efficiency Daikin is known for and protects your warranty.

What’s Included in a Daikin Air Conditioner Service?

A Daikin service from Direct Point Heating & Cooling goes much deeper than simply washing filters. We inspect, clean and test both indoor and outdoor components to ensure your system is working at its best.

Indoor Unit Cleaning and Servicing

• Remove and clean air filters
• Inspect for mould, dust and biofilm build-up
• Clean fan blades, vanes and internal casing
• Check indoor coil condition
• Test electronic controls and operational modes
• Assess thermostat accuracy
• Inspect drainage and check for blockages or signs of overflow

Outdoor Compressor / Condenser Unit Cleaning and Servicing

• Clean heat exchanger coils using water pressure or coil‑safe cleaner
• Check refrigerant levels and system gas pressure
• Inspect casing for corrosion, leaks or damage
• Remove debris around the base and ensure airflow is unobstructed
• Test condenser fan operation
• Inspect capacitor health and electrical connections

This comprehensive process keeps the system running efficiently and reduces the risk of breakdowns during Melbourne’s hottest days or coldest nights.

Cleaning And Servicing for Different Daikin AC Systems

Split Systems

We clean indoor filters and coils, flush drainage lines, check the outdoor compressor and ensure refrigerant pressure is correct.

Multi‑Head Split Systems

Each indoor unit is individually checked to confirm airflow, temperature accuracy and correct refrigerant distribution.

Ducted Reverse Cycle Systems

We inspect the fan coil in the roof space, check return air filters, test zoning controls and ensure ductwork is free of blockages or leaks.

How Daikin Warranty Requirements Work

Daikin provides a standard 5‑year parts and labour warranty for domestic installations in Australia. To stay eligible:

• The system must be installed by a licensed technician
• Maintenance must be performed regularly
• Service records should be kept
• Only approved parts and refrigerants should be used

Skipping maintenance can result in warranty issues if a fault occurs that could have been prevented with regular servicing.

Signs Your Daikin Air Conditioner Needs Servicing

If your Daikin is showing any of the following, it is time to book a service:

• Reduced airflow or uneven cooling
• Higher energy bills than usual
• Water dripping from the indoor unit
• Unusual noises or vibrations
• Musty or dusty smells when the unit starts
• The system struggles to reach the set temperature

Even with no visible issues, annual servicing is still recommended to prevent costly repairs later.

Daikin Air Conditioner Servicing FAQS

How often should I book a Daikin air conditioner service?

Daikin recommends servicing at least once per year, especially before summer or winter when the system will be used heavily. Annual servicing maintains efficiency and protects your warranty.

Will servicing help lower my energy bills?

Yes. Clean filters, coils and fans allow your Daikin system to run with less strain, which reduces electricity consumption and improves airflow.

Do I need to service both the indoor and outdoor units?

Absolutely. The outdoor compressor is just as important as the indoor unit. Dirty coils, debris blockages or failing fans outside can significantly reduce performance.

How long does a typical service take?

A standard Daikin split system service generally takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the system’s condition and accessibility.

Will servicing extend the life of my Daikin system?

Yes. Routine cleaning and early detection of worn parts can prevent major failures, helping your system run reliably for many more years.
