Servicing and Cleaning Air Conditioning Wall Units
Comprehensive Service of Three Kelvinator 3.6kW Air Conditioners for a Business in Pleystowe
At Climate Air Solutions, we specialise in delivering expert air conditioning services to both residential and commercial clients. Recently, we were called out to a commercial business in Pleystowe to service three Kelvinator 3.6kW air conditioning wall units. The business had been experiencing performance issues with their air conditioning, and upon inspection, we found the units were in dire need of a thorough cleaning. The filters and internal components were clogged with dirt and debris, severely affecting efficiency and cooling capacity.
Our task was clear: to get the units back to full working order and restore comfortable temperatures to the business’s premises. By removing the units from the walls and conducting a deep chemical clean outside, we were able to eliminate the accumulated grime, ensuring the air conditioners could operate effectively again. After reinstalling and running comprehensive tests, we were pleased to find that all units were functioning smoothly and reaching the desired temperature.
Initial Wall Air Conditioner Assessments
Identifying the Problem
When we arrived at the Pleystowe business, it was apparent that the air conditioning units were struggling to keep up with demand. The staff had noticed that the Kelvinator wall units were taking longer than usual to cool the space, and the airflow felt restricted. Our first step was to inspect each of the three units to determine the cause of the reduced performance.
The Kelvinator 3.6kW wall units are known for their reliability in commercial settings, providing consistent cooling for medium-sized spaces. However, like all air conditioners, they require regular maintenance to prevent the buildup of dirt, dust, and other debris. In this case, the units had been in operation for several months without any significant servicing, leading to a substantial accumulation of grime on the internal components.
Upon opening the units, we immediately saw the extent of the issue. The filters were clogged, and the evaporator coils were covered in layers of dirt, which was impairing heat exchange and reducing the system’s cooling efficiency. Left unattended, this could have led to compressor strain, higher energy bills, and even system failure in the long term.
Air Conditioner Removal and Chemical Cleaning
Given the level of contamination within the units, we determined that a standard cleaning would not be sufficient to restore optimal performance. To properly clean the units, we needed to remove them from the wall and perform a deep chemical clean outside the building. This process would allow us to thoroughly access the internal components and remove the dirt buildup without causing any disruption to the business’s operations.
Once the units were safely removed, we carried them outside to a dedicated cleaning area. There, we applied a specialised chemical cleaning solution designed to break down the dirt and grime lodged in the coils and fins. This solution is particularly effective for air conditioning units that have gone without maintenance for an extended period, as it penetrates deep into the coils and flushes out even the most stubborn contaminants.
We took care to clean each unit meticulously, paying close attention to the evaporator coils, condenser coils, and filters. By removing all traces of dirt and dust, we were able to restore the airflow through the units and improve their overall efficiency. The chemical clean also helped to sanitise the air conditioners, ensuring that the air being circulated through the building was free from any bacteria or mould that may have been accumulating in the system.
Air Conditioner Reinstallation and Testing
After the chemical cleaning was complete, we reinstalled the three Kelvinator units back into their original positions on the walls. Once securely mounted, our next step was to conduct a full system test on each unit to ensure that everything was working as expected. We turned on the air conditioners and monitored their performance closely, checking for proper airflow, cooling speed, and temperature regulation.
We were pleased to see that all three units were now operating efficiently, with no signs of the previous performance issues. The air conditioning systems were able to reach the desired temperature quickly and maintain a consistent cool airflow throughout the commercial space. The once clogged and dirty units were now functioning as if they were brand new, thanks to the deep clean and thorough servicing.
Benefits of a Chemical Clean for Air Conditioners
This service call in Pleystowe highlighted the importance of regular maintenance and chemical cleaning for commercial air conditioning systems. Over time, air conditioners naturally accumulate dirt, dust, and other particles that can reduce their efficiency and lead to costly repairs or replacements if left unaddressed. A chemical clean offers several key benefits for air conditioning systems:
- Improved Efficiency: By removing dirt and debris, a chemical clean restores the system’s ability to cool air efficiently, reducing strain on the compressor and lowering energy consumption.
- Better Air Quality: Dirt and mould trapped in the system can be released into the air, negatively impacting indoor air quality. A chemical clean eliminates these contaminants, promoting a healthier environment.
- Extended Lifespan: Regular cleaning and maintenance help prevent the premature wear and tear that can result from dirt buildup, allowing air conditioners to operate smoothly for longer periods.
- Cost Savings: An efficient air conditioning system uses less energy, resulting in lower electricity bills. Additionally, regular cleaning helps prevent costly breakdowns and repairs.
Conclusion
The service call in Pleystowe was a perfect example of how Climate Air Solutions prioritises customer satisfaction and system longevity. By removing the Kelvinator units from the walls, chemically cleaning them outside, and thoroughly testing the systems, we ensured that the business’s air conditioning needs were met with high-quality service. The units were restored to optimal performance, providing reliable cooling to the commercial space once again. Regular maintenance, including chemical cleaning, is key to preventing future issues and ensuring efficient, long-lasting operation of air conditioning systems.
