how often do uhave yur aircon cleaned?

[Marky86]

ako ... mga once a year bago mag summer. . preventive maintenance. .hehe

[arnarn]

bakit kaya madaming cases after magpalinis ng aircon, lalong nabawasan ang lamig? nagpalinis kasi ako kahapon kay mang mario actually ang problema ko lang is yung usok pumapasok sa loob ng oto. pero dahil ibababa din ang evaporator, pinalinis ko na din. ano kaya nangyari?

A/C cleaning should be done annually.

However I have mine inspected first before cleaning. At the place I go to, my A/C mechanic mentioned that as long as the A/C still blows strong and cools well, cleaning can be skipped.

I guess having a DIY 3M Filtrete A/C filter helps extend my cleaning intervals too. My mechanic also pointed out that the filter material helps guard against dust accumulation in the evaporator - although it does come at some detriment to overall blower power (the filter weakens the blower output).

For me as long as its cool and functioning well .

i need help on this. My Civic 99 needs to be cleaned regularly.. like after less than 6 months, it becomes very dirty to the point na mahina na ang AC. i tried different AC shops, all where saying the same.. just a dirty evap and no leaks. im starting to think na baka its time to replace major parts na baka may leaks na or damage. What you think guys, do i need a new evap? (or what else).. thanks!

glad to have found this thread!

everytime nakikita ko sa daan kasi mga A/C cleaning services or nagpapaPMS ako, i feel guilty for not having my car(08 Sentra) serviced since acquiring it 4 years ago. natrauma na rin ako sa mga past 1st Gen CRV, 89 B12 Sentra namen, na nananahimik yung A/C, pinalinis namen, and they never stopped having problems for the rest of their lives!

Inquired sa CASA cleaning: 5,500 basic cleaning, pero dapat raw isabay na sa maintenance ang palit dryer and evaporator na 9,000. so roughly 15K raw ihanda..

AYOKO ata... arms, legs and another leg ng kasambahay gusto ng CASA.. nakakatakot naman sa mga tabi-tabi.

Malakas and Malamig pa ren naman hangin ng tsikot ko. Pag nawala na lang lamig, saka ko na lang pagalaw. hopefully mga 10-15 years from now like one of the posters' rides! hehe.

sir does this mean that for older cars (2000 and earlier[?]) without cabin filters.. mas madali lang ma contaminate ng dirt and AC? thanks!

[randyps123]

Yung 2003 altis ko walang filter pero 8 years later nilagyan ko now cleaning it once a month. Ang rule talaga eh dont touch the ac system kung malamig naman pero pag humina dont use it na at pagawa mo kaagad kasi baka mas masira. Ung sakin sa denso ko pinagawa di nasira evaporator mahal pero sulit naman. Saka mas madali talaga dumumi pag walang filter pero ung honda fb ko na may filter every week vinavacum ko he he ung altis pwede mo nga hugasan.

Is it really true that some cars walang cabin filter? Yun di ang sabi sa akin kasi ng aircon tech on my ford escape 2007.

yup. for toyota that is an optional part, not sure on other makes but honda has this as standard

[randyps123]

ang alam ko ung mga bagong altis meron na madali namang i check tanggalin mo lang ung glove compartment. ung sa altis ko nung nilinis may nilagare lang sila sa plastic at nilagay ung airfilter. Actually parang sukat na sukat sya kasi sakto ung lock.

Hi! Honda City vtec 2006 owner, medyo humina ang lamig ng aircon lalo na pag tanghaling tapat. NEver been cleaned. Any recommended technicians aside from Mang Mario? also in Quezon City or Manila. Meron kasi ako nabasa dito nagpalinis ka mang mario lalo nagkaproblema aircon niya.

Boss papalitan mo na yan na filter drier at expansion valve at sure na babalik sa dating lamig ang aircon mo. Denso yung brand, hanap ka na lang sa pasay ng orig na parts tapos diretso linis na din.
