Why is regular air conditioning maintenance important? How often should you clean your air conditioning system? Can you clean your air conditioning system yourself? These are questions that often spring to mind for people who have decided to install an air conditioning unit. The answers you’ll find in this guide have been compiled from the many years of experience of the specialists at CITO Serwis.
Cleaning the air conditioning — is it necessary?
The air conditioners we install are virtually maintenance-free. We use the word ‘virtually’ for a reason – the unit does require regular maintenance. There are many reasons why it is worth carrying this out. Air conditioning maintenance primarily ensures safety and comfort of use. Cleaning helps to eliminate problems such as:
- excess moisture,
- dust, fungal spores and bacteria in air conditioning systems,
- a drop in the device’s performance,
- louder operation of the air conditioning,
- an unpleasant odor in an air-conditioned room.
Regular air conditioning maintenance ensures that we breathe clean air. During the service, we also assess the condition of the unit, which allows us to quickly detect any faults or damage. This, in turn, helps to extend the lifespan of the air conditioning system.
Air conditioning maintenance — how often?
You already know that air conditioning cleaning is a must. So when will our services be useful to you? It’s worth sticking to the rule that once a year is the absolute minimum when it comes to how often to clean your air conditioning. How often it will be necessary to clean your air conditioner depends mainly on how much you use it. The more often it is used, the more dirt accumulates and the greater the likelihood of a breakdown.
Do-it-yourself cleaning of the air conditioning or CITO Service?
Home air conditioning, or more specifically its filters, can be cleaned by yourself. It is not a complicated task. In most models, you simply need to open the front panel, behind which the filter is located. Once removed, you can clean it — provided it is reusable.
Althoughcleaning the air conditioning filter is something you can do yourself, this process cannot be described as maintenance. If you entrust this task to our company, not only will the filter be cleaned, but, more importantly, its internal parts and components will be cleaned as well. Maintenance also includes:
- measurement of electrical efficiency,
- measurement of cooling capacity,
- checking the system for leaks,
- test of the operation of the device,
- minor repairs.
All these tasks can only be carried out by certified specialists — and that is exactly what the staff at CITO Serwis are.
Remember that maintenance should cover not only the unit installed inside the building, but also the condenser located outside. By entrusting the cleaning and servicing of the air conditioning system to a specialist, we can be sure that these tasks will be carried out with attention to the smallest detail.
Air conditioning maintenance — what should you use to clean it?
Having the right qualifications is not without significance when it comes to cleaning air conditioning systems. But what about the products that we use for this task? To ensure the unit does not suffer damage, it is important to use suitable products that have PZH certification . When the product used has it, we can be sure, that the substances contained in it are entirely safe for people staying in the room, in which the air conditioning system has been installed.
