Benefits of Regular Air Conditioning Cleaning

Feel the difference with a clean AirCon

Air conditioners are the perfect breeding ground for mould, bacteria, and fungi, and when these contaminants are inhaled they can affect your lungs, triggering asthma, hay fever, allergies and other respiratory problems. To keep your indoor air clean, and free from contaminants and unpleasant odours, having it cleaned regularly is highly recommended. Thorough air conditioner cleaning includes cleaning filters, coils and fans, removing dust and debris, and pesky geckos that seem to love nesting in AC units. Cleaning your AC will ensure it functions efficiently and effectively

Having your air conditioning regularly cleaned by a professional is an investment in your health. Also, it ensures your aircon has a longer lifespan and performs at peak level all year round. Benefits of cleaning your AC include:

  • Improved Air Quality - Cleaning your air conditioner's filters and coils removes dust, dirt, allergens, and other particles from the air, improving indoor air quality. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.
  • Enhanced Efficiency - A clean air conditioner operates more efficiently. When filters and coils are clogged with dirt and debris, the system needs to work harder to cool the air, leading to increased energy consumption and higher utility bills. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal efficiency.
  • Extended Lifespan - Regular maintenance and cleaning can prolong the lifespan of your air conditioning unit. Removing dirt and debris prevents wear and tear on the components, reducing the risk of breakdowns and the need for costly repairs.
  • Reduced Odours - Accumulated dirt and mould in the air conditioner can lead to unpleasant odours circulating through your home. Cleaning the unit helps eliminate these odours, providing a fresher indoor environment.
  • Consistent Performance - A clean air conditioner delivers more consistent and reliable performance. It ensures that the system can effectively regulate indoor temperatures without strain, providing comfort throughout the seasons.
  • Energy Savings - An efficiently running air conditioner consumes less energy, leading to potential cost savings on your utility bills. When the system is clean and properly maintained, it doesn't have to work as hard to cool the air, resulting in lower energy consumption.
  • Prevention of Mould and Mildew - Moisture and debris buildup in the air conditioner can create an environment conducive to mould and mildew growth. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues, ensuring healthier air circulation in your home.

How often should you have your aircon cleaned?

It is recommended to get the air conditioning unit cleaned once every 12 months. However, if you live in dusty areas or have heavy usage, you should get it cleaned every 6 months. We recommend a comprehensive air conditioner servicing as the season changes from summer to winter and vice versa.

It's not just the filters that require cleaning, the internal components are made up of condenser coils, fan coils and drain pans and can be hard to reach. These should be cleaned by environmentally friendly, non-corrosive and non-toxic products and it ensures the growth of microbes is inhibited for at least 6 months.
