Aircond Standard Cleaning — Filter, Cover & Blower Service from RM 85

Aircond Standard Cleaning in Petaling Jaya

Not every aircond service visit needs to be a full chemical wash. Between those deeper cleaning sessions, your air conditioner still benefits greatly from regular maintenance. Our aircond standard cleaning service is designed to be quick, affordable, and effective at keeping your unit in good working order throughout the year.

At PJ Kool Aircond Service, we offer standard cleaning as the ideal routine maintenance option for homeowners across Petaling Jaya who want to take good care of their air conditioning investment without breaking the bank.

What Standard Cleaning Covers

A standard cleaning focuses on the accessible components of your wall-mounted split aircond unit. This includes the air filters, front cover, blower fan surface, and drainage tray. Unlike a chemical wash, standard cleaning does not involve dismantling the indoor unit or applying chemical solutions to the evaporator coils.

The service begins with removing the air filters from the unit. These filters are your aircond’s first line of defence against dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles. Over weeks of continuous use in Malaysia’s dusty urban environment, filters become clogged with debris, restricting airflow and forcing the unit to work harder to cool your room.

Our technician washes the filters thoroughly with water and a mild cleaning agent, removing all visible buildup. While the filters are drying, the front cover and casing of the indoor unit are wiped down to remove surface dust and grime. This step is especially important in households with smokers or those located near busy roads, where the casing can accumulate a greasy film over time.

The blower fan barrel, visible once the front panel is open, is given a surface wipedown to clear any accessible dust. While this is not as thorough as the full blower removal done during a chemical wash, it helps maintain adequate airflow and prevents large dust clumps from forming.

Finally, the drainage tray is rinsed and the drainage pipe outlet is checked. Even though we do not perform a full high-pressure drainage flush during standard cleaning, a quick check can identify early signs of blockage before they become a water leaking problem.

When to Choose Standard Cleaning

Standard cleaning is the right choice when your aircond is still cooling reasonably well but could use some maintenance attention. Think of it as the equivalent of a regular car wash versus a full car detailing. Both are important, but they serve different purposes and are appropriate at different intervals.

We typically recommend the following maintenance schedule for Petaling Jaya homeowners:

Every 2 to 3 months: Schedule a standard cleaning. This keeps filters clean, maintains airflow, and allows our technician to visually inspect the unit for any early signs of trouble.

Every 6 to 12 months: Book a full chemical wash. This deep clean addresses the evaporator coils, drainage system, and internal components that standard cleaning cannot reach.

By alternating between standard cleaning and chemical wash, you create a comprehensive maintenance routine that keeps your aircond running efficiently year-round. This approach also tends to be more cost-effective in the long run, as well-maintained units are less likely to develop expensive problems.

What Standard Cleaning Does NOT Include

It is important to set clear expectations. Standard cleaning is a surface-level maintenance service and does not include the following:

No dismantling: The indoor unit is not taken apart. The evaporator coils, which sit behind the blower, are not directly accessible during a standard cleaning.

No chemical wash: Chemical solutions are not applied to the coils. If your coils are dirty (which is common after 6 or more months), a chemical wash is needed to clean them properly.

No gas top-up: Refrigerant gas levels are not checked or topped up during a standard cleaning. Gas measurements are only meaningful when done alongside a chemical wash with clean coils.

If your aircond is showing signs of poor cooling, bad smells, or water leaking, a standard cleaning alone is unlikely to resolve these issues. In such cases, we would recommend upgrading to our Chemical Wash service for a comprehensive solution.

Affordable and Quick

One of the biggest advantages of standard cleaning is the price and time commitment. Starting from just RM 85 per unit for 1.0 to 1.5 HP models, it is one of the most affordable aircond maintenance options available in Petaling Jaya.

The service is also fast. A typical standard cleaning takes just 20 to 30 minutes per unit. If you have three bedrooms and a living room with aircond units, the entire visit can be completed in under two hours. Many of our customers schedule standard cleaning during their lunch break or while working from home, as the process is quick and minimally disruptive.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Skipping routine maintenance might seem like a way to save money, but it often leads to higher costs in the long run. Dirty filters restrict airflow, which causes your aircond compressor to work harder and consume more electricity. Over time, this added strain can lead to component failures that require expensive repairs.

In Petaling Jaya’s climate, where air conditioners run for 8 to 16 hours daily in many households, the difference between a well-maintained unit and a neglected one is significant. Regular standard cleaning can reduce your monthly electricity consumption by keeping airflow optimal and preventing the compressor from overworking.

Additionally, clean filters mean cleaner air in your home. This is particularly important for families with young children, elderly members, or anyone with allergies or asthma. Dust and mould spores trapped in dirty filters are recirculated into your living space every time the aircond runs.
