Air-Conditioners need to be cleaned on a regular basis. The benefits of regular cleaning include health, efficiency of operation, and longevity of the unit. In this brief article, we expand on this to explain why regular cleaning is essential, and provide some (pretty unpleasant) images of air-conditioners which we have cleaned. If you need help with an air-conditioning solution including a clean and service, please contact our team:
Why Air-Conditioners Should Be Cleaned
There are three main reasons why you should arrange to have your air-conditioner cleaned on a regular basis: health and efficiency.
Health Reasons
If you don’t like reading, just scroll down to the pictures of air-conditioners that we have cleaned lately – they tell the story. Over time, using your air-conditioner creates a build-up of dirt and mould. This is especially important on the Sunshine Coast, where high humidity creates prolific mould in AC units. If they aren’t regularly cleaned, the air you are breathing will be contaminated by this buildup. Breathe clean air, and get your air-conditioner cleaned regularly. Indoor air quality matters!

Efficiency Reasons
A buildup of contaminants such as dirt and mould effects the efficiency of your air-conditioner. As the buildup gets worse, the space for air to move in the system decreases and forces the system to work harder to achieve the same results. This makes the system operate less efficiently and will cost more to run.
Longevity Reasons
Your air-conditioner can enjoy a longer life with regular cleaning. Restricting the airflow in the unit makes the unit work harder which will shorten its lifespan. Keep you AC clean and it will last longer, just like any mechanical device.
