What is the Purpose of an Aircon Chemical Overhaul?

An Aircon Chemical Overhaul is a comprehensive service designed to rejuvenate your air conditioning unit. Over time, dust, dirt, and grime build up not just within the internal components of your aircon but also in areas that are difficult to reach during standard servicing. General servicing and chemical cleaning typically do not involve dismantling the entire unit, meaning there are parts of your aircon that may remain untouched, accumulating dirt and potentially causing other problems that reduce overall efficiency.

A chemical overhaul addresses these issues by completely disassembling the unit, allowing for a deep clean of every component, including those hard-to-reach areas. Each part is treated with a specialized chemical solution, effectively removing all accumulated dirt, slime, and grime, and then reassembled to restore optimal performance.

This service is particularly essential when:

By opting for a chemical overhaul, you're not just cleaning the surface but ensuring every nook and cranny of your aircon is spotless, preventing future problems and extending the lifespan of your unit.

Why Do I Still Need a Chemical Overhaul Even with Regular Maintenance?

You might wonder, “I regularly maintain my aircon with general servicing and chemical cleanings—why would I need a chemical overhaul?” The answer lies in the difference between these services.

Under What Circumstances Should an Overhaul Not Be Done?

While a chemical overhaul is beneficial for most aircon units, there are certain situations where it might not be advisable. At Airple, we carefully inspect each unit and consider several factors before proceeding with an overhaul.

Compatibility with All Brands and Models: Generally speaking, all brands and models can have an overhaul done. However, we take a closer look at the specific condition of your unit before making a recommendation.

Age and Condition of the Unit: If your aircon has been in use for about a decade or more, the wear and tear on components like plastic clips, wires, low-quality copper pipes (such as very thin copper pipes like 24 and 25 SWG), and the compressor and evaporator coil might be significantly worn that an overhaul is no longer worthwhile.

Brittle Components: Over time, parts can become brittle, and dismantling them, even with the utmost care, could cause breakage. This is especially true for units that have exceeded their lifespan limits.

Cost Considerations: Even if many parts can be replaced or repaired, the combined cost of parts and the required manhours might make it more economical to install a brand new aircon rather than investing in an overhaul.

At Airple, our goal is to provide you with the best long-term solution. We'll always advise you on the most cost-effective and practical option for your specific situation, whether that's a chemical overhaul or a new installation.
