Aircon Cleaning on the Lower North Shore

You get the price on the phone and your technician confirms it again before touching the unit. If room ducts need attention, that is quoted on the spot and only done once you approve it; a condenser deep clean for the outdoor unit is $75 to $150 + GST, also approved by you first.

Shops and offices are covered too, and we can book around opening hours. For a full breakdown of what drives the number, read our aircon cleaning cost guide for Sydney.

People searching “air conditioning Mosman” or “air conditioning Cremorne” often want an installer, so we would rather be upfront. Refrigerant work, gas top-ups, electrical faults and replacing a unit are licensed trades and not something we do.

What we do is the part installers rarely spend time on: taking the unit apart as far as access allows and cleaning the coil, the blower fan drum, the drain tray and the drain line, then sanitising it. If we find a fault that is not a cleaning problem, such as a unit that will not cool after the clean, we tell you what we saw so you can brief a repairer. A clean is also worth doing before you decide a system needs replacing: a dirty coil can look like a failing unit, as the energy.gov.au factsheet below explains.

Ducted homes here range from North Sydney apartments to large Mosman houses with a vent in every room. The package price covers the return air side; room ducts and outlets are priced once your technician has looked at them, and nothing extra is done without your approval.

If you can see mould at the return air grille or smell it when the system starts, that is what the professional sanitise is for, and the ducted package carries our 12-month mould-free guarantee (terms). See ducted aircon cleaning in Sydney for the full package.

The ABS figures for occupied private dwellings, 2021 Census:

• North Sydney council area (North Sydney, Neutral Bay, Cremorne, Kirribilli, Crows Nest, Cammeray, Wollstonecraft): 75.7% flats or apartments, 11.1% separate houses, and 51.9% of homes rented.
• Mosman council area: 52.0% flats or apartments, 34.9% separate houses, 33.1% rented.
• Lane Cove council area (including Greenwich): 56.7% flats or apartments, 37.8% separate houses, 37.2% rented.

In an apartment block we confirm lift and loading-dock rules and any building management booking before the day, and carry everything up in one trip. With more than half of North Sydney homes rented, landlords and agents can book on a tenant’s behalf; we send the invoice and the before and after photos for their records. In a free-standing house the ducted unit usually sits in the roof space with the return air grille in a hallway ceiling, and the outdoor unit is in a side passage or on a deck.

Much of Mosman, Cremorne Point, Kirribilli and Greenwich sits on the harbour foreshore, so outdoor units on balconies and in side passages collect salt and leaf litter. Daikin treats its outdoor coils with an anti-corrosion coating for this reason, and still points owners to the installation manual for positioning and maintenance.

A condenser deep clean covers all the coils at the back of the outdoor unit and is $75 to $150 + GST depending on its type and size: your technician looks at it, tells you what it needs, and nothing is done until you approve. Corrosion damage, refrigerant leaks and electrical faults are for a licensed technician; we will tell you if we see signs of them.

Units that run most of the year, homes with pets or allergies, and ducted systems in rented homes that change hands may need more frequent attention.

A smell when the unit first starts usually comes from the coil and drain tray, not the filter; our guide on why an air conditioner smells musty explains why. For a usage-based schedule, read how often to clean your air conditioner.

The water, mould and dust drain into a bucket that we empty before we leave, and we lay drop sheets where needed. The disinfectant contains no bleach, chlorine, phenolics or peroxide. Every split deep clean carries our 12-month mould-free guarantee on the parts we cleaned. The full method is on our air conditioning cleaning Sydney page.

We work across all of Sydney with a focus on the east and the north, at the same prices in every suburb.

Tell us anything about access when you call: a strata building with booking rules, a unit high on a living-room wall, an outdoor unit on a balcony, or a business that needs the work done outside opening hours. The price you are given is confirmed again before any work starts.
