What is a chemical overhaul?
A chemical overhaul is an intensive cleaning process for air conditioning units that goes beyond a regular chemical wash. This service involves disassembling the aircon unit to thoroughly clean and inspect each component, ensuring the system operates at peak efficiency. The process typically includes:
⇒ Dismantling the Unit: The air conditioner is carefully dismantled, including the removal of the fan coil, blower wheel, and other major components.
⇒ Deep Cleaning with Chemicals: Each part, such as the evaporator and condenser coils, filters, and drainage system, is cleaned with powerful chemical solutions to remove deep-seated dirt, mold, and other contaminants.
⇒ Flushing the Drainage System: The drainage pipes are flushed with chemicals to clear any blockages and prevent water leakage or mold growth.
⇒ Cleaning the Blower Wheel and Fan Blade: These components are cleaned to ensure they can efficiently circulate air, improving the overall performance of the unit.
⇒ Inspecting and Servicing Components: All parts are inspected for wear and tear. Any damaged or worn components are repaired or replaced to prevent future breakdowns.
⇒ Reassembly and Testing: After cleaning and servicing, the unit is reassembled and thoroughly tested to ensure it is functioning correctly and efficiently.
When is chemical overhaul necessary?
A chemical overhaul is necessary when:
⇒ Performance Declines: Your air conditioner is not cooling or heating as effectively as it used to, even after regular maintenance.
⇒ Frequent Breakdowns: The unit experiences frequent malfunctions or requires repeated repairs.
⇒ Excessive Dirt and Mold: There is a significant build-up of dirt, mold, or other contaminants in the unit, causing poor air quality and potential health issues.
⇒ High Energy Bills: There is an unexplained increase in energy consumption, indicating the unit is working harder than necessary.
⇒ Water Leakage: Persistent issues with water leakage or clogged drainage despite regular cleaning.
⇒ Long Time Since Last Service: The unit has not undergone regular servicing in several years.
⇒ Noise Issues: If your aircon is making unusual noises, it may indicate that components are dirty or malfunctioning. A chemical overhaul can resolve these issues by thoroughly cleaning and inspecting the unit.
What are the Pros & Cons of chemical overhaul?
Pros of a Chemical Overhaul:
⇒ Improved Air Quality: By removing mold, dust, and other contaminants, the air quality in your space is significantly improved.
⇒ Enhanced Efficiency: Clean components operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and costs.
⇒ Extended Lifespan: Regular chemical overhauls help prevent wear and tear, extending the life of your air conditioning unit.
⇒ Optimal Performance: Ensures your aircon performs at its best, providing consistent and reliable cooling or heating
Cons of a Chemical Overhaul:
⇒ Cost: Chemical overhauls can be more expensive than regular maintenance services.
⇒ Time-Consuming: The process is more time-consuming than a regular maintenance check, as it involves dismantling and thoroughly cleaning the unit.
⇒ Potential for Damage: The use of chemicals can potentially damage the components of the air conditioning unit. It also requires skilled technicians to ensure the process is carried out properly without causing harm to the system.
⇒ Environmental Concerns: The chemicals used in the overhaul can cause environmental harm.
