More than a quick filter rinse. Airsense Air Conditioning cleans deeper inside the indoor unit to remove accumulated dust, grime, mould growth, drainage build-up and other contamination from important internal components.
Residential, office and commercial air conditioning systems.
Inspection of airflow, contamination and drainage condition
Access to the coil, blower wheel and drain tray area
Deep cleaning of accessible internal components
Drain flushing, reassembly and operational testing
An air conditioning system can appear clean from the outside while dust, moisture, grime and microbial growth remain deeper inside the indoor unit. Common build-up areas include the evaporator coil, blower wheel, drain tray and condensate drainage system.
When the system operates, contaminated internal surfaces may contribute to unpleasant smells, reduced airflow, poor cooling performance and lower indoor comfort. People with allergies or sensitive breathing may also experience increased discomfort in poorly maintained spaces.
Heavy dirt build-up can restrict airflow, reduce system efficiency, contribute to drainage problems and place additional strain on the air conditioning system.
These examples show why cleaning only the removable filters may not be enough when an air conditioning system has heavy internal contamination.
Before Cleaning
This air conditioning unit contained visible mould growth, dust and grime inside the indoor unit. Build-up like this may contribute to unpleasant smells, restricted airflow and reduced cooling performance.
Service in Progress
A Deep Clean Major Service in progress for an Airsense customer in Constantia, Cape Town. The unit is carefully accessed so that important internal areas can be cleaned properly.
Service methods differ between contractors. A quick external clean does not always reach the areas where dirt and drainage build-up are commonly found.
Each air conditioning system is assessed individually because unit design, condition, accessibility and contamination levels can differ.
We inspect the unit condition, visible contamination, airflow and condensate drainage.
Covers and accessible components are removed or opened to reach the coil, blower wheel and drain tray area.
Dust, grime, mould growth and accumulated contamination are removed from accessible internal surfaces.
The condensate drain system is flushed to help remove slime and build-up that may contribute to drainage restrictions.
The blower wheel is cleaned where accessible to help restore stronger, more even airflow.
The unit is reassembled and tested to confirm normal operation after the cleaning process.
Results depend on the condition and mechanical health of the system, but proper cleaning can provide several practical benefits.
Removes accumulated dust and grime from internal airflow surfaces.
Helps reduce airflow restrictions caused by dirt build-up.
A cleaner coil and blower can help the system operate more effectively.
Removes accessible mould growth, dust and organic build-up.
Helps remove condensate drain slime and common drainage restrictions.
Routine cleaning can help prevent unnecessary strain caused by poor airflow.
Maintenance frequency depends on operating hours, property use, occupancy, local conditions and the amount of dust, grease, salt or airborne contamination present.
Manufacturer requirements, operating hours and actual site conditions must also be considered. Systems operating near the ocean or in dusty, greasy, smoky, high-occupancy or continuous-use environments may need more frequent attention.
Refrigerant is contained within a sealed system and should not normally require routine topping up. A low refrigerant condition may indicate a leak or another fault that requires proper investigation.
Airsense Air Conditioning can inspect the system and recommend a suitable maintenance schedule based on its use and condition.

A Deep Clean Major Service may be suitable when an air conditioning system produces an unpleasant smell, has reduced airflow, struggles to cool, shows visible internal contamination, develops a drainage restriction or has not been properly maintained for an extended period.
Warning signs can include unpleasant smells, reduced airflow, weak cooling, visible mould or grime, drainage problems, water leaking from the indoor unit or a long period without proper servicing.
Yes. A basic service may concentrate on the removable filters and visible surfaces. A Deep Clean Major Service reaches further into the indoor unit to clean accessible areas such as the evaporator coil, blower wheel, drain tray and condensate drainage system.
Not necessarily. Deep cleaning can correct problems caused by dirt, restricted airflow or drainage build-up, but it does not replace proper fault finding when the unit has an electrical, mechanical or refrigerant-related fault.
Yes. Moisture, mould growth, dust, drainage slime and other organic build-up inside the indoor unit are common causes of unpleasant smells.
A residential air conditioning system should generally receive professional maintenance at least once a year. Filters normally need cleaning more frequently, often every one to two months, depending on usage and indoor conditions.
Office air conditioning systems commonly require professional maintenance every six months. High-use commercial, hospitality, server-room and industrial systems may require maintenance every three months or more frequently, depending on site conditions.
No. Refrigerant operates inside a sealed system and should not be consumed during normal operation. If refrigerant is low, the system should be assessed for a possible leak or another fault.
Yes. Airsense Air Conditioning services many Cape Town areas, including the Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, CBD and surrounding areas.
Do not wait until your air conditioning system develops a strong smell, restricted airflow, drainage problems or visible internal contamination.
