Aircon Chemical Clean Singapore

Singapore is known for its high humidity, often exceeding 80%. This extreme humidity leads us to use our aircons more frequently as we strive to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. The moisture in the air acts as a strong agent for bonding dirt and dust, which adhere to the coils and other components of the aircon more quickly than in less humid environments. These stubborn stains and accumulated dirt are challenging to remove with general servicing, making an aircon chemical clean essential for maintaining efficiency and air quality.

Why Chemical Clean is Essential for your Aircon

Why chemical clean is essential for your Aircon

Maintaining your aircon is crucial for its efficiency and longevity. One of the most thorough maintenance options is the aircon chemical overhaul, where every part of the aircon is dismantled and deeply cleaned. However, if the dirt and grime in your aircon haven't built up significantly in the more inaccessible areas (something our technician can assess during the inspection), an Aircon Chemical Clean may be the more suitable and less invasive option for you. This process uses specialized chemicals to thoroughly clean both the external and internal components of your aircon, ensuring optimal performance and healthier air quality. If you are looking for the best aircon cleaning service to restore your aircon efficiency, chemical cleaning is highly recommended.

What is Aircon Chemical Clean?

Aircon chemical clean, often referred to as chemical wash, involves using chemical solutions to clean the internal parts of your aircon without dismantling the entire unit. This process focuses on the air filters, coils, and drainage pipes, effectively removing dirt, grime, and bacteria that regular cleaning can't tackle. This method is particularly effective in restoring the unit's cooling efficiency and is a key part of aircon maintenance Singapore.

The Chemical Clean Process

  • 1.
    Initial Visual Inspection
    Initial Visual Inspection:

    Technicians start with a visual inspection to determine the level of dirt and dust, which helps estimate the amount of concentration required for the chemical solution. This step ensures that the dirt is effectively removed without harming the fins on the coil. Our customers choose Airple because our technicians are rigorously trained to understand the appropriate level of dilution for different levels of dirt.

    Dismantling the Drainage Pan and Cleaning the Drainage System
    Dismantling the Drainage Pan and Cleaning the Drainage System:

    The drainage pan on the fan coil is dismantled for a thorough clean to ensure it's not clogged with white slime, also known as 'water jelly,' that builds up over time The same is done for the drainage pipes so that the unit's drainage system operates smoothly

  • 3.
    Application of Chemical Solution
    Application of Chemical Solution:

    Key components like the air filters, evaporator coils, and blower are cleaned with a specialized chemical solution to dissolve dirt, debris, and bacterial stains. This step is crucial for a professional aircon chemical wash.

  • 4.
    Flushing and Rinsing
    Flushing and Rinsing:

    The components are thoroughly flushed with water to remove any residual chemicals. This step is extremely important, as improper rinsing can leave chemical residues that may corrode the coils.

  • 5.
    Final Testing
    Final Testing:

    The aircon is tested to ensure it operates efficiently and there are no leaks or issues.

Does Doing Aircon Chemical Clean Damage My Aircon?

Aircon Chemical Clean

Many have heard that doing a chemical clean will corrode the evaporator coil. The short answer is, yes. But hang on, it will only corrode and 'eat' into the metal fins if the chemical residues are not rinsed off properly or if the concentration of the solution is too high. Aircon owners have to consider that if the stubborn dirt are not thoroughly remove, the evaporator coil will not be able to effectively dissipate the heat as the dirt would have prevented heat loss hence reducing coolness. Fact is, even if you have engaged an inexperienced technician to do the job and it did corrode some of the metal off the coil, it would take a lot of chemical and many cleaning cycles before the metal fins are corroded to the point that the evaporator coil can no longer effectively function. At Airple, we believe that well-trained, experienced technicians can eliminate this risk so you won't need to be worried about this dilemma, and here's why:

Visual Inspection
  • Two-Step Approach: Our technicians use a two-step approach. They start with a higher diluted solution for the initial clean. If it's not sufficient to fully remove the dirt and grime, they will add more concentrates. This approach ensures that even in the event the dirt has already been loosened, the chemical won't be strong enough to corrode the metal fins in such a short amount of time, thus achieving only cleaning effect yet non-corrosive.

When to Schedule a Chemical Clean

  • Reduced Cooling: If your aircon isn't cooling as effectively as before, a chemical clean can restore its performance.
  • Bad Odors: Persistent bad smells from your aircon are a sign that it needs a thorough cleaning.
  • Regular Maintenance: Ideally, schedule a chemical clean bi-annually to maintain optimal performance and prevent major issues – especially on units that are used often and 2 years and above. Newer units requires only General Servicing.
