02

The service

What is included in the deep clean?

I focus on the internal areas where dust, grime, mould-like buildup and odours commonly develop. This includes the filters, covers, coil, fan barrel, drain tray and airflow path where accessible.

Is this just a filter clean?

No. Washing the filters alone does not address the build-up deeper inside the system. The service is designed as a proper internal split system clean.

How long does a clean take?

Allow approximately 45 minutes per indoor unit. Heavy build-up, difficult access or additional services may increase the total appointment time.

Can I add an outdoor unit clean?

Yes. Outdoor condenser cleaning is available as an add-on and can be selected during online booking.

Do you test the air conditioner afterwards?

Yes. The unit is reassembled and tested after cleaning to confirm it is operating normally.

03

Mould, smells & airflow

Does air conditioner cleaning remove mould?

The service removes visible and hidden build-up from the internal areas where mould commonly develops. Results depend on the system's condition and whether the source is inside the unit.

Why does my air conditioner smell musty?

Musty odours often come from moisture, dust, grime and mould-like buildup inside the coil, fan barrel, drain area or airflow path.

Will the smell disappear after cleaning?

Often, yes, when the smell is caused by internal contamination or stagnant moisture. A smell caused by another mechanical or environmental issue may require further investigation.

Can cleaning help with dust and allergens?

Dust and mould can irritate sensitive people. Cleaning removes buildup from the accessible airflow path, but it is not a medical treatment and individual health outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Can cleaning improve airflow?

It can help when airflow is being restricted by dirt on the filters, coil or fan barrel. Cleaning will not repair a mechanical fault or refrigerant issue.

05

Before & after the appointment

What should I do before you arrive?

Please clear the area directly below and around the indoor unit where practical so I can access the system safely.

Will cleaning make a mess?

No. A purpose-built cleaning bag is used to contain dirty runoff, and the surrounding work area is protected during the service.

Do I need to be home?

An adult should be available to provide access and confirm the units being cleaned. You do not need to remain in the room while the work is completed.

What about children and pets?

Please keep children and pets clear of the immediate work area while equipment and cleaning products are in use.

How often should a split system be cleaned?

For many homes, around 12 months is a useful baseline. Heavy use, pets, visible buildup, recurring smells or dusty airflow may justify cleaning sooner.

Will I see before and after proof?

Yes. Before and after evidence helps show the condition of the system and what was removed during the clean.

If the filters look clean but the unit smells musty, shows dark buildup or blows dusty air, the problem may be deeper inside. Choose your units and see available times online.
