Make Your Home Healthier & Your Air Conditioner More Efficient!
Professional Air Conditioning Cleaning Services in Brisbane – Keep your air clean & your energy bills LOW!
Making sure your air conditioning system is clean and working correctly has a number of health and energy-saving benefits apart from the obvious need to protect the longevity and durability of your system by keeping it clean and properly maintained.
For instance, a study into heatwaves in Australia have shown that during 2000 – 2009 over 500 people have fallen victim to heat exhaustion. This figure which does not even fully capture the magnitude of the problem. Many more deaths have heat as a contributing factor but not the main cause. Keeping cool with an efficient air conditioner is the best means of preventing heat-related deaths and illnesses.
Below we have listed some of the main benefits of having your Air Conditioning system professionally cleaned.

Why Regular Air Conditioner Cleaning Is Essential
Most homeowners only clean the air filters, thinking that’s enough—but what they don’t realise is that dust, bacteria, and mould accumulate deep inside the unit, affecting both performance and indoor air quality. Without regular maintenance, your air conditioner circulates contaminated air, leading to allergy flare-ups, respiratory issues, and increased electricity costs.
At CK Electrical, Solar & Air-Conditioning, we don’t just clean filters. We deep-clean your entire system, removing hidden dust, mould, and bacteria to keep your home safe and energy-efficient.
🔍 Did You Know?
- A dirty air conditioner can increase energy consumption by up to 30%.
- Over time, bacteria, mould, and allergens build up inside the unit, leading to poor air quality.
- Regular servicing extends the lifespan of your air conditioner and prevents costly breakdowns.
- A well-maintained unit cools faster, runs quieter, and keeps your home comfortable all year round.
🚨 Warning Signs That Your Air Conditioner Needs Cleaning ASAP! 🚨
❌ Bad smells coming from the unit (musty, damp, or mouldy odour).
❌ Reduced airflow or weak cooling performance.
❌ Increased electricity bills even when usage stays the same.
❌ Visible dust or black spots around vents or inside the unit.
❌ Unusual noises (gurgling, buzzing, or whistling sounds).
❌ Family members experiencing allergies, headaches, or sinus issues.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time for a professional clean!

3. FEWER INSECTS & PARASITES
Your AC filters also keep out insects and are far more effective than having open windows with or without a screen.
Insects are not only annoying and inconvenient, but they can also be dangerous to people with allergies and pets. A good air conditioning system can help keep indoor pets flea and tick-free.
4. IMPROVES WORK FORCE EFFICIENCY
We’ve all experienced the mental sluggishness that comes with a day that is just too hot.
There’s actually a scientific basis for this. According to an article in the Scientific American, the energy the body expends trying to cool itself down takes away from our ability to think and reason. When offices are air conditioned, people are able to work better and make better decisions.
5. COOLER TEMPERATURES help regulate mood
It’s not just our brains that suffer from the heat either. When the mercury rises so do tempers.
As an article on today.com explains, while our brains are slowing down, our bodies are speeding up with increased heart rates and higher blood pressure. All this leads to more aggressive behaviour making a cool environment key to maintaining peace at home, work, and in public places.

Steps to cleaning your air conditioning unit:
- Make sure the unit is isolated either at the isolator and/or by switching off the circuit breaker at the switchboard. This is extremely important to avoid electrocution.
- Remove filters from the indoor unit. Give them a good clean using warm water to remove all the dust.
- Place air-con cleaning back underneath the unit.
- Open the front cover. This will require removing screws. Be careful not to break anything.
- Spray coil cleaner and fan barrel with coil cleaner. Refer to manufacturers guides.
- Rinse coil cleaner with a water spray. The drip pan should catch most of the water. This step should be taken to avoid wetting any electronics.
- At the outdoor compressor unit, rake leaves and/or debris away from the unit. Having a leaf blower may be quicker and easier.
- Let all the water recede into the bag, re-install front covers and filters.
- Turn the unit back on. Please note these steps are to be taken at your own risk. We recommend contacting a professional to ensure the job is done safely and without causing damage to your system.

How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioning system delivers cool air into your home. A ducted system will also draw out the warm air to maximise the cooling process.
A split system air conditioner works a little differently to a ducted system. Split systems utilise a compressor to condense and circulate the refrigerant through the outdoor unit, changing it from a gas to a liquid. The liquid refrigerant is then forced through the indoor evaporator coil or cooling compartment. Then, the indoor unit’s fan will circulate the inside air to pass over the evaporator fins. The evaporator’s metal fins exchange the thermal energy with the air around it. There, the refrigerant turns from liquid into vapour, removing any heat from the surrounding air. As the heat is removed from the air, the air is cooled and blown back into the house.
From that point, the condenser or the outdoor unit then turns the refrigerant vapour back into a liquid, removing any heat. By the time the liquid leaves the evaporator again, it is a cool, low-pressure gas, eventually returning to the condenser to begin its trip all over again. This process is repeated until your home (or thermostat) reaches the desired cooling temperature.
How often should I clean my air conditioner?
A general rule to follow is twice a year but just remember that it depends on a few things like:
- how frequently it is used
- the type of system being used (ducted, split system, etc.)
- how big the system is in relation to to the space you’re heating and/or cooling
The most important thing to consider is the overall use of the air conditioning system. If you have a small system heating a large area, it will work harder compared to a larger system working to cool the same space. As a result, the higher air intake and stress on the smaller system will require more attention.
If your air conditioner is well maintained and kept clean, it will last far longer than a neglected system. Regular maintenance will prevent costly repairs damage to other components.
