Do you own an aircon and you live in an apartment or condominium unit? Well, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for. We’re Teko.ph, the largest aircon, appliance, and computer services provider in the Philippines, with a guide on AC cleaning services to help you prepare your home before the technician arrives.
Why Regular AC Cleaning is Important (Especially in Condos/Apartments)
Before we discuss preparation tips, let’s understand why regular cleaning is crucial. The Philippines’ tropical climate creates perfect conditions for dust, mold, and bacteria to accumulate in your aircon. This buildup reduces the AC’s efficiency, producing poor air quality and higher electricity bills. That’s why we recommend cleaning your unit every 3-4 months, especially during dry periods when you use the aircon the most.
Preparing Your Space for AC Cleaning Service
1. Clear the area around your AC unit
The service technicians will need easy access to your aircon. Move furniture away from your aircon or any decor and plants. For floor-standing units, ensure there’s at least one meter of clearance on all sides.
Get old sheets or newspapers to cover your furniture if you can’t remove them from the space. Consider covering your wooden furniture, fabric sofas, and the floor in case of water spills.
2. Secure valuables & fragile items
Aircon cleaning may involve movement, so secure any valuable or fragile items near the unit. In bedrooms, consider removing photos or decorative items from nearby shelves. You might want to relocate electronics or appliances like your TV temporarily if it is near the air conditioner.
3. Provide access to your circuit breaker
The technician will likely need to turn off the power to your unit during service. Knowing where your circuit breaker is and ensuring easy access can save precious minutes. If you’re in a condo, make sure you know which switch controls your aircon.
4. Prepare for noise & dust
If necessary, let your neighbors or family members (who may be working at home or with kids) know that you have an AC cleaning service coming up. Close windows and doors in other rooms to minimize the spread of dust.
