Split System Service Keilor East
If you live in Keilor East, you know how much work your split system does – cooling the house after a hot walk around Brimbank Park, then keeping things cosy when a cold change whips through from the Calder. Over time, dust, grime and wear build up inside your unit, making it work harder and costing you more in power.
ExtrordinAir provides split system servicing in Keilor East for homes and small businesses – whether you’re near Centreway, close to Milleara Road and the shopping centre, around Dinah Parade, in the Valley Lake estate or near Keilor East Leisure Centre on Quinn Grove.
A proper service is more than “just a clean”: we inspect, test and tune your system so it runs efficiently, safely and reliably.
What’s Included in a Professional Split System Service?
When an ExtrordinAir HVAC technician services your split system, they will:
- Test operation in heating and cooling modes
Check start-up, fan speeds, mode changes and response to the remote/thermostat. - Clean or replace indoor filters
Remove and wash or replace filters to restore airflow and improve air quality, which also helps reduce running costs. - Clean indoor coil and fan barrel
Gently clean the evaporator coil and fan barrel to remove built-up dust and biofilm that reduce efficiency and can cause smells. - Flush and test the condensate drain
Clear the drain and check for leaks or blockages so water drains properly and doesn’t drip inside or cause mould. - Inspect and clean the outdoor unit (condenser)
Remove debris, check coil condition, clear around the unit and ensure the fan runs freely for good airflow. - Check electrical connections and safety
Inspect and tighten accessible electrical connections, look for heat damage or wear, and confirm safe operation
- Check refrigerant pressures and temperatures
Measure system pressures and operating temperatures to confirm the system is running within manufacturer guidelines and not showing signs of leaks or undercharge. - Inspect insulation and refrigerant lines
Check that pipe insulation is intact and that lines are secure, protected and free from visible damage. - Test thermostat and remote controls
Make sure your controller is accurate, responsive and programmed sensibly for your household’s routine. - Check for unusual noise, vibration or odours
Listen for rattles, buzzing or grinding noises and note any smells that may indicate mould or electrical issues. - Provide a service report and recommendations

Servicing Different Types of Split Systems Across Keilor East
We don’t just service standard wall-mounted splits – we look after a wide range of systems in Keilor East homes and small businesses:
- Wall-mounted split systems – the most common type in living rooms and bedrooms
- Floor-mounted console splits – often used to replace older gas heaters or in rooms with large windows.
- Cassette split systems – recessed in ceilings, common in open-plan living areas and light commercial spaces.
- Bulkhead and under-ceiling split systems – great for tight wall spaces, high ceilings or architect-designed rooms.
- Ducted split (ducted reverse-cycle) systems – where a central indoor unit feeds multiple rooms via ducts and grilles.
Each style has its own quirks – from how drains run to how coils and fans are accessed – and our technicians service them in line with manufacturer guidelines.
Why Regular Split System Servicing Matters
Lower running costs
A dirty or underperforming unit can use significantly more energy to do the same job. Regular servicing helps your unit run closer to its original efficiency, cutting unnecessary power use and reducing bills.
Better comfort in every season
Clean filters, coils and fans mean stronger airflow and more consistent temperatures, whether you’re heating a living room near Dinah Parade or cooling a bedroom overlooking Valley Lake.
Improved air quality
Removing dust, mould and buildup from internal components helps reduce airborne irritants – important for households with kids, older residents or anyone with allergies.
Longer system life
Addressing minor issues early, like blocked drains or noisy fans, reduces wear and tear and can delay costly replacements.
Helps protect warranties and compliance
Many manufacturers and programs, including Victorian energy efficiency schemes, expect systems to be properly maintained to keep warranties valid and performance claims accurate.
If, during a service, we find something that looks like it needs parts or deeper fault-finding, we’ll explain your options and may recommend split system repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a split system service cost in Keilor East?
A split system service starts at $200 for a standard back to back wall installation. Pricing can vary based on the number of systems serviced at once, access (single vs double storey homes), and complexity of your setup. Multi head and ducted systems cost more.
How often should I service my split system in Keilor East?
Most homes should have their split system professionally serviced once a year, with heavy-use, in-home pets, or dusty environments sometimes needing more frequent attention.
How do I know if I need a service or repair?
A split system service focuses on cleaning, testing and fine-tuning a system that’s basically working but may be underperforming, noisy, smelly or costing more to run. If your unit is not heating or cooling properly, showing error codes, leaking water badly or tripping power, that’s usually a sign a split system repair is needed.
How long does a split system service take?
Most standard split system services take around 1-2 hours minutes per unit, depending on access, how dirty the system is and whether multiple units are being serviced at once.
Can regular servicing reduce my power bills?
Yes – clean, well-tuned systems don’t have to work as hard, which can lower energy use and reduce wear on components.
Do you service all brands and types of split systems?
We service all brands and styles, including wall-mounted, console, cassette, bulkhead, under-ceiling and ducted split systems in homes and small businesses.
Will you tell me if my system is better off being replaced?
Yes, if your unit is old, inefficient or failing, we’ll explain the pros and cons of repair vs replacement and can discuss options that may be eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts.
