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.
