The benefits of a professional air conditioning clean & what is involved – video transcript

Lee: So AJ last time we were here we spoke about maintaining the air conditioning system of yourself but why is it important to get serviced by professional?

AJ: So Lee it’s important to get your conditioning serviced by a professional to help prolong the life of the air conditioner and keep your energy bills down as well.

Lee: Okay let’s go take a look. Okay this AC looks quite filthy and it’s probably seen better days.

AJ: Yeah it definitely has Lee as you can see up inside there they’ve got quite a bit of mould buildup so when this family turns this unit on they’re actually breathing in poor-quality air.

Lee: So it probably needs more than just the filters cleaned.

AJ: Yeah it definitely does so what this unit needs is an intensive clean.

• So first off I isolated the unit and taking the indoor covers off.
• Then I attach the decontamination unit around the indoor.
• Then I spray the indoor coil and the area outlet with a food-grade cleaner.
• So while I let the indoor coil and the air outlet soak I take the indoor covers downstairs and give them a good cleanup.
• So I come back to the indoor unit, clean up the indoor coil, the air outlet in the fan barrel.
• So then I’ll come downstairs to the condensing unit, open up the condensing unit, and I’m checking for gas leaks, vermin and just debris in the fins of the coil.
• Put the condensing unit back together spray it with the cleaner and then wash the whole condensing unit down and get the unit right back to where it should be.
• Then we come back to the indoor unit and put the indoor covers back on and test the operation of the machine.
• So I’ve just completed this intensive service so now this family is breathing in cleaner and safer air.
