Air Conditioning Cleaning, How Much Does It Cost?

Air Conditioning Sutherland Shire

For a typical house in an urban setting, the air conditioning is something that provides the right environment and helps you get an oasis of relaxation and rest in your favourite corner. It is the air conditioner which helps you feel welcome during the hot summer days and which makes you cosy inside while a chilly breeze blows outside. An air conditioner and the allied systems are crucial parts of the house which create a healthy and comfortable ambience in the house.

Over time, however, the whole system finds it more and more difficult to provide the same level of comfort and coolness as it did right after installation. Similarly, the heating provided by the HVAC might be consuming more energy to produce the same amount of heat. The reason for reduced efficiency is chiefly unclean systems that have collected dirt over time.

Getting the air conditioner thoroughly cleaned

As part of the annual maintenance and repair job the air conditioner is always cleaned by the professionals you hire or the company servicemen that visit however, that is never enough for any air conditioner system. Air conditioning cleaning is a regular affair, not something that you can get away with by doing it once a year or only with annual maintenance. Cleaning the system is essential for keeping the whole setup healthy for longer periods.

This should be noted that cleaning the air conditioner is not something being done to provide more cooling or heat to the house. Cleaning the system will get you the same efficiency that was there in the beginning which means lower energy bills later in the lifecycle. Cleaning also translates into a lot of savings because a whole lot of big-ticket repairs can be prevented if the compressor, pumps and other parts are working fine because you cleaned it regularly.

What is the cost of air conditioner cleaning?

This is a tricky question because there cannot be a single answer to this. The cost of cleaning can be nil if you do it yourself but can reach $100 or even $400 depending on the kind of system, the amount of cleaning, whether the installation is commercial or residential and the expertise of the service provider.

On average, the cost of a basic cleaning service for a split system air conditioner can range from $100 to $200, while a more thorough cleaning service that includes a chemical clean and inspection may cost between $250 to $400.

For ducted air conditioning systems, the cost of cleaning can range from $300 to $600 depending on the size of the system and the level of cleaning required.

It is to be noted here that getting your air conditioner cleaned can be a standalone service or it can be negotiated as part of your annual maintenance package. Ideally, the air conditioner should be cleaned once before every seasonal shift.

Professional services for optimum result

It is important to note that prices may vary between different service providers. 

Mostly, the handling of any electrical appliance should be strictly done by professional service providers. The DIY approach is not recommended for anyone when it comes to major appliances like the air conditioner. Handling air conditioning even simply cleaning it is a complex task that warrants specialized tools and solutions. It also requires you to know the system in and out so that nothing is damaged. Cleaning requires water and water does not mix well with electricity hence, it is simply irrational to handle it without any expert help.

It is important to choose a licensed and reputable air conditioning service provider to ensure the safety and efficiency of your air conditioning system.
