Frequently asked questions

Typically, it is recommended that you schedule professional cleaning service at least once a year. However, if your unit sees a lot of usage, or you are located in a hot or dusty city, you may need to book more cleanings. Please note that a filter should be cleaned out more regularly, at least once a month, to ensure your health and safety.
While you can personally maintain some components of an air conditioner yourself, many internal components should only be cleaned by a professional. Not only will a professional cleaner ensure your unit is free from harmful buildups, but they are trained to safely clean crucial components without damaging them. A professional service is also more equipped and trained to handle potential risks like electrical components, keeping you out of harm’s way.
While you can spray an outdoor unit with water to clean it of debris, it is better to rely on a professional service instead of cleaning it yourself. While spraying water can help remove dirt and possibly improve the efficiency of the condenser coils, it runs the risk of damaging your system. A professional cleaner will be more aware of where to clean and know the right water and pressure for your system. Make sure anything you do to your air conditioner aligns with your product warranty policies.
A professional air conditioner cleaning usually takes between 1.5 to 4 hours. However, this can vary depending on the size of the unit and the type of system. Split systems are usually faster, taking 1-2 hours, while ducted systems could take longer. At Climate Plus, our highly skilled technicians have completed intensive training, so we can complete your cleaning in record time.
No, typically air conditioners do not need to rest as they are designed to run continuously. Depending on the weather and the type of air conditioner, it may be more efficient to leave the system running at a slightly higher temperature than turning it off. This is because turning the unit on and off puts strain on the compressor, and the device will also have to start the cooling process all over again.
Yes, a dirty air conditioner can make you sick if it stays on. Clogged filters may trap dust, allergens and other pollutants that can be cycled through your home from a dirty unit, causing respiratory issues, allergies and other health problems.
Yes, an air conditioner can be cleaned without having to remove it from its installed location. Many cleaning tasks can be done while the unit is still in place, such as cleaning the grill, filter or exterior surfaces. Our expert team at Climate Plus is fully equipped to clean a variety of air conditioners, including split system, ducted, or evaporative cooling units.
