Aircon Servicing & Repair in Cainta

You can safely wash or replace filters monthly, keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and debris, and wipe the indoor casing. Anything involving the refrigerant circuit, electrical components, or coil chemicals should be left to a certified technician — refrigerant handling is legally restricted in most countries.

Inverter units vary compressor speed instead of switching on and off, so they hold temperature more steadily and cost 20-40% less to run for long daily use. Non-inverter units are cheaper upfront and fine for rooms cooled a few hours a day. For daily whole-day use, the inverter premium usually pays back in 2-3 years.

Get 2-3 quotes and compare what each service actually includes — some cheap quotes cover only a filter rinse. Check for the refrigerant-handling certification required in your country, ask how long they have serviced your brand and type of system, and read recent reviews that mention follow-up visits, not just the first appointment.

Pricing depends on the service depth: a basic clean-and-check per unit is the cheapest, a chemical wash costs roughly double, and a full overhaul double again. Multi-unit discounts are standard.

A chemical wash uses a cleaning solution to strip dirt and mould from the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and drain pan without dismantling the whole unit. Book one when a normal service no longer fixes weak airflow, bad smells, or water leaking from the indoor unit — typically every 12-18 months for heavily used units.

Basic cleaning of a window-type unit runs ₱500-₱900; a split-type indoor unit ₱800-₱1,500 in place, or ₱1,500-₱3,000 for a pull-down/deep clean. Freon top-up, when genuinely needed after a leak repair, adds ₱1,500-₱3,500 depending on refrigerant.

Every 3-4 months for daily-use units — dust, humidity, and near-constant operation clog filters and coils fast. At minimum, wash the filters yourself monthly and book a professional clean before the March-May hot season when providers get booked out.
