Chemical Wash

Ever wonder if the air that your air conditioning unit blows may be contaminated? Does your air conditioning unit clean itself as well as cool it down?

Your air conditioner has filters in place to trap dirt and smog, but not much for sanitation after they get dirty.

Let’s say the air conditioner unit has been in use for three to four years without any malfunction, but you have not done any servicing or air conditioner chemical washing in that time. That means that your filters and other parts of the air conditioning unit have gathered a lot of dust, dirt, and oil or grease.

A simple water bath may help clean the filters, coils, and parts, but will it really clean the germs inside? Or the bacteria that now infest your cooled air. The answer is no.

These bacteria, if left untreated, can contribute to diseases such as

• Respiratory issues
• Skin allergies and rashes

In a pandemic-ridden world, this is highly undesirable. This is where you need an aircon servicing chemical wash.

What is an air conditioner chemical wash?

Chemical washing means drenching and cleaning your air conditioning unit parts, such as the filters, fans, and coils, with a special chemical-based detergent that will remove all dirt and grime and also sanitize the unit. The detergent will kill 99.9% of all bacteria and microbes infesting your filters and air conditioning parts.

This aircon servicing chemical wash should be done at least once annually and is a lengthy, thorough service that will improve the health and longevity of your cooling system.

Types of Air Conditioning Chemical Wash

You can choose from one of two services:

Regular Air Conditioning Chemical Wash (also known as a Non-Dismantle Chemical Wash):

If you service your air conditioning unit every four to five months, then you should opt for a non-dismantle air conditioner chemical wash.

In the non-dismantle air conditioning servicing chemical wash, your AC unit is only partially disassembled, and the main parts, such as the fans and filters, are thoroughly cleaned with the chemical detergent.

Aircon Chemical Overhaul or Full Dismantle Chemical Wash:

If you have not ever serviced your air conditioning unit or the last servicing was done six or more months ago, you should get the full dismantling and chemical wash overhaul.

In the full dismantle Aircon Servicing Chemical Wash, the air conditioning unit is completely dismantled and all individual parts are washed thoroughly with water and the detergent. Stubborn dirt and grease from every nook and cranny are washed away, and all harmful bacteria are dealt with.

Here is a quick summary of the chemical wash procedure:

• Disconnect the electric mains supply.
• Dismantling the fan motor, fan bearing, blower wheel, and evaporator coil
• Disconnecting the drainage pipe
• Washing all the parts thoroughly with the detergent
• Vacuuming and drying the residue as well as the parts
• Calibrating the thermostat
• Refill and check the gas.
• Running and checking the unit

Why Should You Get an Air Conditioner Chemical Wash?

1. Lowers maintenance costs

The air conditioning servicing chemical wash increases the overall health and working of your unit, makes further malfunctions unlikely, and will also reduce the frequency of servicing that you need, saving you money in the long run. With a chemical wash, your air conditioning unit will be running at its peak efficiency and cooling your room with lesser energy consumption and time as well. There is no further need for servicing, at least for a while.

2. Cleans dust and removes bacteria.

The chemical wash will renew your unit by properly cleaning every part and ridding it of accumulated dirt, grease, and dust. The evaporator coil and fan bearing will work smoothly after they have been cleaned, and it will increase the airflow and temperature output of your air conditioning unit as well. Any bacteria will also be exterminated, making sure that the air you receive is sanitary.

3. cleaning of all parts

Aircon parts such as the compressor condenser, evaporator coils, and bearings all get worn out over extended operation and at times even freeze over due to the temperature. A complete cleaning will reduce their friction, remove any accumulated obstructions, and allow them to work with full efficiency once more.

4. service of all individual parts

Since during the cleaning, most of your air conditioning unit’s parts will be removed, the technician will also examine them for additional damage from wear and tear or harm during installation that could also inhibit the working of your air conditioner. Any holes, fissures, and leaks will be identified and fixed, and you will not require a separate servicing exam.
