Why your air conditioner deserves a yearly visit
At home, the air conditioner often runs in a bedroom or living room, right next to you. It draws in room air, cools it and sends it back. Over the months, dust, pet hair and moisture settle on the filters and coil. The unit loses efficiency, uses more power and may end up giving off a musty smell.
A yearly visit resets everything: a clean unit, checked settings and, above all, readings that tell you whether the unit is healthy. It is the best way to keep the air clean and your electricity bill reasonable.
Studio, flat, house: what changes
Every home has its own features, and the technician adapts:
- in a flat, the outdoor unit is often on a balcony, a loggia or the roof: we check its mounting and the space left around it so it can breathe;
- in a house, it is often on the ground or on the façade: leaves, grass and soil build up and hinder its operation;
- with a multi-split, each indoor unit is cleaned and checked separately, as they are often used differently;
- with a ducted system, access is through a hatch: filters and supply grilles get the same care.
Before starting, the technician protects the floor and wall. They leave the room just as they found it.
What you will know by the end of the visit
Once cleaning and disinfection are done, the technician records several values: temperature of the air drawn in and blown out, the difference between them, the electrical current drawn. They check the joints for leaks and make sure the condensate drains properly.
They explain these figures in simple terms: is your unit cooling as it should? Is its consumption normal? Is there anything to keep an eye on? You then receive a written report that you can keep with your household papers. No repair is carried out without your written approval; if something is wrong, we offer you a repair quote.

The following year, nothing to remember
Your unit is logged with its readings, refrigerant type and visit date. Before the next season, we get back in touch to offer a new visit. The new readings are compared with the previous ones: a gradual loss of efficiency shows up before it becomes a breakdown. That is the principle of our active vigilance.
