Let’s learn something about aircons. Aircon cleaning and aircon maintenance.

An air conditioner works by circulating coolants through the pipes connecting the various components. From filters, evaporator coils, fans, compressor and condenser. Every component of an air conditioner plays an important role in ensuring the smooth functioning of the system. Aircon cleaning is crucial in ensuring a fully functional aircon system at home.

Like all things, the aircon components gather dust, dirt, and grime over time due to external environment and normal daily functions. The accumulated dust, if not cleaned, can obstruct the functioning of the system. This is why aircon cleaning in your home is important. When it comes to cleaning your air conditioner, you need regular aircon maintenance and make sure you follow the right cleaning method with some basic tools.

If you feel that something about your home aircon doesn’t feel right, seek the help of an aircon service professional. Let’s take a look at some of the cleaning methods for your home aircon.

How to Clean a Split System Air Conditioner

Depending on the part you are cleaning and how much the amount of dirt is, you may want to use some of the recommended equipments for cleaning.

Using a vacuum cleaner to clean your aircon for maintenance.

If you want to clean the internal parts of your system without dismantling them, you can use a vacuum to suck in the dust accumulated on the surface of the parts (e.g filters, evaporator coils, pipes, and fans). Cleaning your aircon with a vacuum cleaning may not be as effective if you do not clean them regularly. Cleaning using a vacuum cleaner is best done once every 2 months. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, simply use a dry cloth or a small brush to get the dirt off the unit. This can at least clear up dust accumulated on the external surfaces.

Use an air compressor or a blower for aircon cleaning and aircon maintenance.

You can use an air compressor or a blower (reverse vacuum) as an alternative to a vacuum cleaner. Use one that comes with a pointed tip on the end. This will help you clean the internal components with more precision and less hassle. Filters and coils can be cleaned with the strong air being blown out from the tip. It’ll help to clear up the insides of the aircon much more effectively.

Use Aircon Cleaning Chemicals

These chemicals can easily be found online or in DIY stores on Singapore. Like Self-Fix, Home & DIY.

Chemical cleaning is a highly effective method of cleaning the filters and other internal components as aircon cleaning and aircon servicing companies use them too. But please read the instructions on the packaging properly and do not end up damaging your own aircon instead of cleaning it. 

A lot of dirt and grime may have accumulated due to lack of cleaning and maintenance for a prolonged period of time. You will need to dismantle some parts of the aircon. But if the idea of dismantling sounds scary, there’s some off the shelf cleaning agent that does not require dismantling. 

Aircon chemical cleaning helps improve the performance and cooling efficiency of your air conditioner and enhances the indoor air quality, preventing mold growth and maintaining a healthy indoor environment in your home or office.

Spray-on coil cleaners

You can also use spray-on coil cleaners for cleaning the filters or coils at home. You’ll find this coil cleaning sprays at your nearby DIY store. You simply need to apply the spray on the dirty coil, leave it for some time, and then wash it with clean water.
