AC Cleaning Bali

A standard clean is both halves of the system and takes 30 to 45 minutes a unit. Indoors the cover and filters come off, the drain pan is emptied and flushed, and the evaporator coil and fan barrel are chemically cleaned with the unit bagged so nothing runs down your wall. Outdoors the condenser is washed through so it can shed heat again. A deep clean at Rp250,000 goes further: everything in a standard clean plus a chemical deep cleaning of the evaporator coil, blower and drain pan, which is what clears mould once it is established there. It does not require taking the indoor unit off the wall.

When the work is worth doing

Most units in Bali need this every three to six months, but the honest answer depends on where you are — three near the beach or a building site, five or six on a quiet inland street. We would rather tell you to come back in five months than sell you a clean you do not need yet. If a unit still cools badly after a proper clean the problem was never dirt, and we will say so and quote the diagnosis at Rp65,000 rather than book another clean. Cleaning carries 14 days: if the smell or the weak airflow returns in that window we re-clean it free.
