Air Conditioner Cleaning Myths Busted
Is your air con as clean as you really think?
If you’re like most Brisbane residents, your air conditioner is running throughout most of summer, then takes a (much needed) break, until the occasional warm up in winter. But have you ever stopped to think about what’s really going on inside your unit, or the air you’re breathing every day?
When it comes to cleaning your air conditioning unit, there’s no shortage of myths and misunderstandings. Here’s the truth about what’s hiding inside your air con, and why a PRO CLEAN from Electrical Embassy is a must for any health-conscious home.
Top air con cleaning myths busted
“My air conditioner’s air is clean”
Fact:
100% of the air your family breathes while the air con is running passes through the indoor unit. If your system is dirty, so is your air. Yuck!
“Cleaning the removable filters is enough”
Fact:
Filters are just the first line of defence and only catch some dust and pollution. The real nasties are mould, bacteria, and grime - all hidden deep inside your unit. Unless you have the time, tools and expertise to clean them out, these contaminants stay put, recirculating every time you turn your air con on.
“The outdoor unit is the most important to clean”
Fact:
The outdoor unit just needs to be free of leaves and blockages. All the air you breathe comes from and passes through the indoor unit, where mould and bacteria love to hide. That’s where the cleaning really matters for your health.
“A dirty air con is just a bit less efficient”
Fact:
A dirty air conditioner works much harder, driving up your power bill and wearing out faster. It can halve your system’s lifespan, meaning more breakdowns and expensive replacements.
“I barely used my air con… It won’t be dirty”
Fact:
Even running your air con for a few minutes creates condensation inside the unit. Add Brisbane’s dust, airborne particles, and humidity, and you’ve got a perfect breeding ground for mould and bacteria. So whether you use it for two nights or two months, there are likely nasties growing inside.
