How often should air conditioning be cleaned?
Filters, indoor unit, drainage and outdoor unit: what to clean and when to keep air conditioning efficient.
Frequency depends on use, dust, pets and whether the unit is also used for heating. Cleaning filters regularly improves airflow, but deep cleaning involves parts that should not be dismantled without experience.
Filters
Check them during the season of use. If they collect dust, the unit has to work harder to move air.
Odours and drainage
Bad smells, dripping or marks can indicate accumulated moisture, a dirty tray or drainage issues.
Full maintenance
Indoor and outdoor units are reviewed according to access, the unit condition and installation conditions.
Mistakes to avoid
- Using harsh products
- Bending coil fins
- Ignoring persistent dripping
