What Are The Benefits Of Cleaning Your Air Conditioning
August 25, 2020

Have you ever noticed that your air conditioner is just not performing the way it used to? Maybe it’s not cooling as needed, or the power just doesn’t seem to be what it used to be. 

A lot of us in Queensland rely heavily on our air conditioners, but a common mistake is to not look after them correctly or apply proper maintenance. 



This is where regular air conditioner cleans are important. 


A typical clean will involve the following:

  • Power is shut off to the air conditioner and all electrical components are sealed and taped up to avoid being wet.
  • A ‘sleeve’ or large bib is placed under the unit to collect all water and solution that will be used.
  • The air conditioner is then sprayed down under high pressure using a cleaning solution to remove all dirt and to kill off any mould.
  • All filters are also properly cleaned.
  • The air conditioner will be tested on completion to ensure it’s all running smoothly again.
  • All of this can usually be achieved in under an hour. 

 


So what are the benefits that are seen after cleans?


The main and most obvious is removing dirt, mould, grime, mites and other harmful substances which will inevitably build up over years of use. These can pose a serious risk to people with allergies and asthma. The health risks presented by mould can be extremely serious, so eliminating it as soon as any build up is present is paramount. By removing these you are instantly improving the air quality that is flowing throughout your home, and reducing the risks of breathing in anything else harmful.


The performance of your air conditioner will also be improved, as it is not struggling to push air through clogged components and filters. This means better heating or cooling, less power usage and in turn saving on your electricity bills. Another positive is also extending the life of your air conditioners, as they are running a lot more efficiently. 


For such a simple, no mess process, you will be ensuring your air conditioners are running cleanly and as efficiently as possible.
