Leaf litter
Leaves and bark collect against the outdoor coil and block airflow, making the system work harder.
Bexley North runs down to the Wolli Creek valley, one of the last stretches of native bushland in this part of Sydney. Homes backing onto it get leaf litter, pollen and, on bad days, smoke, all of which find their way into air conditioning.
Updated October 2026
Air conditioning in Bexley North has to cope with bushland right next door. Leaves and twigs pile up around outdoor units, native pollen clogs filters in spring and smoke can drift in during hazard reduction burns. Smart unit placement, good filters and regular cleaning keep systems running well. We have looked after homes near the Wolli Creek valley since 1989.
Beautiful to live beside, but tough on outdoor equipment.
Leaves and bark collect against the outdoor coil and block airflow, making the system work harder.

Leaves themselves rarely cause damage, but a build-up against the coil blocks airflow, which makes the system work harder and can lead to faults.
