Air conditioning service - consists of?
« on: February 22, 2019, 13:41:23 PM »
I’ve noticed that people have mixed opinions on air conditioning servicing. Some claim it’s not needed and others stand by it? I just wondered what the groups thoughts were on this?

What does a service actually consist of? What could I expect to happen? In the place I have purchased I believe the air con might be ten years old.

I noticed members recommended Adam Cen and Murat bayezit.

I normally clean my own just take the filters out and hoover and give it a wipe,  if its not blowing cold air then some times it needs gassing up i have had my air con units 12 years and only had one issue which was a blocked pipe

Regular hoovering,take filters out,wash and dry once a year,re gas if required eg if not getting cold enough.

Do people do anything to the coils? Just wash the filters with warm water? Anything to spray on to keep it smelling clean?

Hoover the coils with a brush attachment (and the filters). If it leaks it could be due to the drain tube being blocked which comes off a tray below the coils and goes outside. The tray catches the condensation. The tube sometimes gets spiders webs etc in them. All above can be done with basic diy skills. Anything else is time for the repair man.

Once hovered etc use this,it’s for cars but does the trick https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/p/-/-/-/-/?NOR2897300&0&cc5_101&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-8PjBRCWARIsADc18TL311PdUGhp7vrw3vG8B-cxCS4xi_hPBHrkR8Ih9_WKSvT8Bk57KxEaAsC4EALw_wcB

Brilliant - do you spray this on the coils? Remove filter and spray on? Do you let the system run for a while

In the car you just spray it into the vents and air intake,let it settle for a while then run the AC on full for 1/2 hr before using it normally.Cleans and gives a fresh smell.
