Why Winter Maintenance Is Essential
Most people associate air conditioners with summer heat. But during the colder months, neglected aircons can become hidden sources of poor airflow, stale air, and even health risks.
Winter is when we shut windows, switch to heating mode, and spend more time indoors — which means your aircon is working in a completely different environment. If the system hasn’t been cleaned recently, it may be circulating dust, bacteria, mould spores, and allergens.
Whether you live in Paarl, manage an Airbnb in Stellenbosch, or operate a clinic in Wellington — a clean, efficient AC system makes all the difference.
What’s Included in Our Winter Clean & Care Package
Why Clean Airflow Matters
Even if your aircon seems to “work fine,” internal grime and bacteria can build up over time, especially when heating mode is used frequently.
Signs Your AC Needs Servicing:
Unusual odours or dry, musty air
Lower airflow or hot/cold spots
Frequent allergies or sinus discomfort
Increased energy usage or noise
During a recent service in Val de Vie, we improved a client’s airflow from 2.5 m/s to 5.2 m/s by removing internal mould and debris — her family immediately noticed the difference.
