How to Prepare Your Air Conditioner for a Canberra Winter

May 19, 2025

Canberra winters can be chilly, and the last thing you want is to switch on your reverse cycle system only to find it underperforming—or worse, not working at all.

With a bit of simple prep, you can make sure your air conditioning system keeps you cosy all winter long.

Here’s how to get your system winter-ready:

  • Clean your filters: Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Clean or replace them to ensure warm air circulates freely.
  • Check your outdoor unit: Make sure it’s clear of leaves, debris, and anything that could obstruct performance.
  • Test your system early: Don’t wait until the cold hits. Run your heating mode in advance to check for any issues.
  • Book a professional service: A pre-winter tune-up ensures your system runs efficiently and catches any problems before they get worse.

Not sure if your system is winter-ready? Contact AGA Air Conditioning for a professional check-up and stay warm without the stress.
