An antibacterial treatment for air conditioning systems is a specialist cleaning service designed to remove microbial growth, mould spores, and harmful bacteria that can build up inside your unit. This process improves indoor air quality, removes odours, and helps your AC system operate more hygienically. It is particularly valuable in shared environments like offices, clinics, and commercial spaces where clean airflow is critical.

Deep cleaning involves more than just filter rinsing. Our engineers safely isolate the system, remove and disinfect internal components like coils, fans, and filters, and flush the drainage line. We use industry-grade coil cleaner and antibacterial sprays designed for HVAC systems. This not only restores airflow but also removes allergens, biofilm, and dust that normal maintenance may miss.

Yes, especially in damp or high-humidity environments. Stagnant water in drip trays or blocked drainage can create the perfect conditions for bacterial growth. Units that are not serviced regularly can harbour microbes like Legionella or mould spores, which are then circulated throughout your home or workspace. Our antibacterial AC cleaning stops that cycle before it becomes a problem.

For homes, we recommend a deep clean and antibacterial treatment every six to twelve months depending on usage and air quality. In high-traffic commercial properties like gyms, salons, and clinics, quarterly cleaning may be more suitable. Regular cleaning reduces system strain, maintains airflow, and keeps bacteria levels under control.

Common signs include musty or stale smells, visible dirt on vents, reduced airflow, or allergy symptoms when the system is running. In some cases, a unit may seem to cool poorly even after a filter change. These issues often point to biofilm or microbial build-up inside the system. A full antibacterial treatment will address the cause directly and restore indoor air quality.

Absolutely, and it is often recommended. Our deep cleaning process targets the root causes of allergens like mould spores, bacteria, and fine dust. By cleaning coils and filters using safe HVAC-approved treatments, we reduce airborne irritants that can trigger asthma or respiratory discomfort. We also avoid harsh chemical residues so your environment stays safe.

Yes. Most odours from AC units come from bacterial growth, mould build-up, or stagnant moisture trapped in the coils or drain tray. Antibacterial cleaning removes the source of the smell, not just masks it. After treatment, your air smells cleaner, fresher, and is safer to breathe.

Yes, many components can be accessed and cleaned in place. We use protective cleaning bags to catch run-off and apply coil cleaner and sanitiser directly into the evaporator coil and fan housing. This lets us complete a full internal clean safely and effectively without dismantling the system or needing to remove it from the wall.

The best time is early spring before the heavy summer use kicks in. This ensures the system is free from winter build-up and ready to cool efficiently when you need it most. However, if you notice odours, weak airflow, or allergy symptoms at any time, that’s your sign to book a treatment right away.
