Chemicals & Maintenance

Common AC maintenance chemicals include coil cleaner for indoor and outdoor units, foaming evaporator cleaner, condenser coil cleaner, antibacterial treatments, and drain pan treatments to prevent algae and blockages in condensate systems.

Evaporator and condenser coils should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year as part of a routine service. In high-usage or dusty environments, more frequent cleaning may be required. Dirty coils reduce efficiency and can cause system faults.

Always check the product specification before use. Most professional coil cleaners are suitable for aluminium fins and copper coils, but some formulations can damage certain materials. Follow manufacturer dilution and application instructions and rinse thoroughly where required.

Drain pan treatments prevent the build-up of algae, slime, and bacteria in condensate drain pans and pipework. Blockages in the condensate system are a common cause of water damage and system shutdowns. Regular treatment reduces call-backs and extends system life.

Yes. We stock electronic leak detectors, UV dye kits, and leak detection sprays suitable for use on refrigerant circuits, gas lines, and pressure systems. UV dye must be compatible with the refrigerant and system oil — always check compatibility before use.
