The cleaner your return air filter is, the better your system will perform. We recommend you clean your AC filters regularly, in between servicing; at least once every 3 months. If you are unsure how to do this, please contact our team for direction.

CMS are certified service agents for Fujitsu, therefore can complete repairs under manufacturer’s warranty. If we have installed the system (even if it is not Fujitsu branded), it is best to contact our team in the first instance of a fault.

This can vary depending on the unit, however in our experience, units start to fail at approximately 12-15 years of age. If the unit is above 10 years old and has a significant repair required, this is a good time to start considering replacement. Our team will always do our best to repair rather than replace, however we will also advise when repairs may not be the best course of action.

It is a common misconception that a reverse cycle system needs regular re-gassing. In fact, these systems are designed not to lose any refrigerant gas. If the system is short on gas, there is a leak somewhere that will require repairs, before any further gas can be added.

We accept cash, cheque, EFT or credit card payments. Please note all card payments will incur a 1.75% surcharge.
