How to clean your air conditioner - Air conditioning service

 As you will have probably understood, the indoor unit "split or" console blows hot or cold air depending on the mode selected on the remote control, but where does this air come from?

The indoor unit simply recovers the ambient air from the room in which it is installed thanks to the turbine that sucks from the top of the unit and blows from below and directs the airflow using the shutters adjustable blowing.

Detailed route of the airflow:

• Drawn from the top of the unit

• Passage through the pre-filters

• Passage into the exchanger (cold or hot depending on the mode)

• Passage in the turbine for blowing oriented by the shutters, in the room

Through these explanations, we wish to make you understand that the maintenance of a reversible air-conditioning and the indoor unit is essential in order to maintain a healthy ambient air, and the maintenance of the two units makes it possible to use the capacities of 100% air conditioning. If you do not do this, you can make sure that depending on how you use it, your aircon servicing company singapore will look like this:

The consequences of bad maintenance

• Loss of efficiency of air conditioning: the air has no place to go either in the indoor or outdoor unit = so it can no longer be sucked or blown, so more hot and cold

• Clogging of the turbine because with time: the dust happens to pass = loss of efficiency of the ventilation and deterioration of the turbine engine

• Deterioration of the quality of the indoor air: the little air that will pass will be in direct contact with the bacteria, viruses and other parasites that proliferate, and which are contained in the dust retained inside the air and harmful for the health of every human being, and even animals

How to maintain air conditioning?

The golden rule is to take your time for this delicate step for anyone who has never disassembled the hood of its indoor air conditioning unit. Some plastics may prove to be fragile over time, not to mention that depending on the brand of air conditioning you have, the quality may be lower, so avoid forcing too much at one stage.

Cleaning the air pre-filters

They include the plate heat exchanger in its entirety so that the air sucked by the turbine is filtered in its entirety before being heated or cooled by the exchanger. Frequency of cleaning : Every 3 months in summer / winter use - Every 2 months if also used in off-season.

Frequency of replacement: They change only in case of deterioration (cut or torn).

Cleaning the deodorant filters

 Depending on the brand, they will have a more or less identical utility, deodorize the air entering the indoor unit. They are placed in front of or behind the pre-filters, on a plastic frame independent or integrated in the pre-filter. Frequency of cleaning: Every 3 months in summer / winter use - Every 2 months if also used in off-season. Frequency of replacement: They change every year for the most part. The frequency is normally indicated in the manufacturer's manual supplied with the air conditioning.

Cleaning + disinfection of the indoor unit heat exchanger

It serves to heat or cool the air drawn by the turbine. Small copper coils, contained inside the latter are depending on the selected mode, very hot or very cold, also depending on the set temperature.

Cleaning the blower and air intake turbine

It allows air conditioning the recovery of ambient air from the top of the unit, and blowing from below. Clogging of the latter can cause noise pollution and efficiency of the altered air flow.

Restarting the air conditioning

After having reassembled all the serviced elements of the air conditioning units, checked that the electric parts are not wet or damp, you can reconnect to the circuit breaker and restart the air conditioning.
