Air-conditioning cleaning and sanitising in Faro, Olhão, Loulé and São Brás

A clean filter isn’t a clean air conditioner.

The filter only catches the coarser dust. Mould and bacteria stay inside, on the coil, the fan and the drip tray, and come out with the air you breathe. We clean and sanitise the unit inside, with antibacterial treatment included.

Full clean: €55 per unit.

  • 30-day guarantee
Where dust and mould build up Side cross-section of a wall-mounted split unit. Air comes in at the top, passes through the filter and the coil, is pushed by the fan and comes out at the bottom. Dust and mould build up on the coil, the fan and the drip tray. 1234

Where dust and mould build up

  1. Filter Catches the coarser dust. Washing it helps, but it isn’t enough.
  2. Coil Cools or heats the air. Damp dust and mould build up between the fins.
  3. Fan Pushes the air into the room. This is where black mould shows.
  4. Drip tray Collects condensation. Over time, it builds up sludge and a bad smell.

How we clean your air conditioner

About an hour per unit, with no mess.

Before we start, we fit a protective cover that catches the water and dirt, and we use shoe covers and a mat.

  1. Cleaning foam

    Loosens the dust and dirt stuck in the coil.

  2. Rinse

    The water carries the dirt into the protective cover.

  3. Antibacterial treatment

    On the coil, drip tray and fan, with no rinsing.

  4. Drying and testing

    We switch the unit on and check with you that everything works.

At the end, we show you a glass of the water that came out of your unit and send you the before-and-after photos on WhatsApp.

Clean air. Proven.

After every clean, you keep proof of what was done.

  • Before-and-after photos

    Of the coil and the fan, sent on WhatsApp the same day.

  • Hygiene certificate

    With the date, the units cleaned, the antibacterial product used and the next recommended clean.

  • Sticker on the unit

    With the date of this clean and the next one, so you don’t have to remember.

  • 30-day guarantee

    If the bad smell comes back or the unit drips because of the clean, we come back free of charge.

  • Invoice

    For every job.

When to clean your air conditioner

Once a year. Every six months if you have pets or allergies, or if the unit gets heavy use.

Clean your air conditioner before you turn the heating on. In winter, the same unit heats your home and blows round the room whatever built up over the summer.

Signs your unit needs cleaning inside

  • It smells musty when you switch it on.
  • There are black spots on the louvres where the air comes out.
  • It drips water.
  • It heats or cools less than it used to.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the clean take?

About an hour per unit. For a home with two units, allow about two hours.

Why does my air conditioner smell musty?

The water that forms inside the unit mixes with dust and lets mould grow on the coil, the fan and the drip tray. Washing the filter isn’t enough: the unit needs cleaning and sanitising inside.

Isn’t washing the filter enough?

It helps, but it isn’t enough. The US Department of Energy explains that with a clean filter the coil gets dirty more slowly, but it still gets dirty, and recommends checking it every year and cleaning it when needed.

Which units do you clean?

Wall-mounted splits, meaning the indoor unit on the wall. The outdoor unit is cleaned separately, with a quote on request. We don’t do gas top-ups, installations or repairs.

Do I need to prepare anything?

The day before, we send you a message confirming the time and saying what to prepare. Usually, you just need to clear the space under the unit. The protective cover catches the water and dirt.

What guarantee do I get?

30 days. If the bad smell comes back or the unit drips because of the clean, we come back free of charge.
