7 Reasons To Have Your AC Cleaned And Sanitized

For most people, cleaning their AC unit might be the last thing that can cross their minds when it comes to general cleaning. However, the AC has an essential function at home. Today, without your AC unit, living in a country such as the UAE will be unbearable, especially during summer where temperatures could go as high as 48 o  Celsius.  Taking care of it has never been more important than ever, now that people are spending a lot of time inside. 

A number of real estate providers usually provide a general maintenance service for leased apartments or villas. However, AC maintenance is something that may not be included in the majority of leasing contracts. Due to this, AC cleaning is overlooked. 

Here are 7 reasons that will compel you to stop thinking twice about getting your AC serviced. 

1. Better Indoor Air Quality

Part of your AC unit’s function is to filter the air from the outside and circulate within your home. Over time, the filter inside your unit becomes accumulated with dust and other air particles which can cause blockage and contaminate the air inside. Having your filters cleaned will improve the indoor air quality. 

Apart from your unit’s filter, an unkempt drain pan can have molds and stagnant water. This can become a breeding ground for pathogens and bacteria. Similarly, AC ducts and coils can encourage the growth of molds. In addition, dirty coils are often the cause of musty or bad-smelling air.

2. Lower Your Energy Bill 

When your AC is not maintained, it takes more effort in circulating the air. This puts an extra mechanical strain on your unit and therefore will take up more energy and consequently increasing your monthly energy consumption.

Poorly maintained AC often have blocked coils that affect the cooling capacity of the unit. 9Due to this, it takes a longer time for your AC to cool the room and hence, exerts more energy than usual. Due to this, your AC increases its work time. Making sure to get your AC maintained and cleaned can lower your AC’s energy consumption to at least 5 to 15 percent.

3. It Is Environmentally Friendly

According to the International Energy Agency or IEA, the global energy use from AC units will increase as much as three times more in energy consumption by 2050 than it is today. This means more energy is used thus, increasing the carbon footprint. By having the AC serviced, you enable it to work efficiently and consume less energy.

4. Cost-Efficient

A dirty, unmaintained AC can cost you more money in getting it repaired than actually maintaining it. When your unit is running on its optimum efficiency, you are less likely to spend money in repair or actually replacing it. Unmaintained AC units can also cause overheating which eventually leads to damage in property leaving you to spend more money on property repair.

5. Longer Lifespan For Your AC

By keeping your AC cleaned, sanitized and maintained, you give it the benefit of expanding its lifespan. You also prevent it from overworking that can shorten its life and decrease its performance. Think of getting your AC cleaned as a way of preventive maintenance that can give benefits in the long run.

6. Fewer Bouts Of Sickness

We have mentioned that regularly cleaning your AC provides better indoor air quality. This means your family is at a lesser risk of contracting allergies, colds, or the flu. AC systems can become a breeding ground for germs and bacteria to multiply. Neglecting on getting your AC cleaned will put your family at a higher risk of getting sick.

7. A Comfortable And Safe Home

A clean AC unit is essential in creating a comfortable and safe environment for you and your family at home. As we approach the summer season in the UAE, you have to keep in mind how your AC will ultimately affect the condition of your home. Having your AC running in its peak efficiency, you’ll be rest assured that you maximize its benefits.
