Timing
It is best to have the unit cleaned in spring, before the cooling season, so you do not have to wait for a booking in summer. You can also rinse the filters yourself each month.
Why air conditioners need cleaning
An air conditioner pulls room air across a damp coil, which means dust, skin cells and humidity collect inside the unit, especially in Tokyo's long humid summer. Over time the fins and fan can grow mould, and when the unit starts, spores and odours are blown into the room. A dirty unit also works harder, which affects cooling and electricity use. Washing the front cover and filters at home is useful, but the fan and fins inside the unit need a thorough clean to deal with the real build-up.
What we assess and clean
We clean the front cover and filters, assess the fins and fan and clean them where access allows, check the drain pan and run the unit afterwards to confirm it operates. Because wall-mounted, ceiling cassette and multi-split units differ greatly in access and effort, price is quoted per unit and type. Send us the unit type, the brand if you know it and a photo of the unit, and we confirm the price and the time by message. Some units, especially ceiling cassettes, may need more than one cleaner.
When to clean and what to prepare
The best times are late spring, before the first heavy use, and early autumn, after the summer. Avoid the peak of summer when demand is high and you need the unit working. Please clear space beneath the unit, cover or move furniture if possible and make sure the power is available. If the unit has a strong smell, has been running poorly or has not been cleaned for more than a year, mention it when you book. We can also add air conditioner cleaning to a move-in, move-out or deep clean visit.
Signs your unit needs cleaning now
You do not have to wait for the annual schedule. A musty or sour smell when the unit starts, weaker cooling than before, visible dust or black spots on the louvres, water dripping from the unit or unusual noise are all reasons to book. Allergies that flare indoors in summer can also point to a dirty unit. Tell us what you notice when you book, because it helps us prepare the right tools and plan. If the problem looks mechanical, such as a refrigerant leak or a faulty fan motor, cleaning will not fix it and we will say so, so that you can call a repair specialist.
