Regular Aircon Cleaning: To be or not to be?

[suv]

Mahal yung 2 to 3 thou na cleaning. Usually general cleaning mga 1000-1200 ang price kasama na karga ng freon.

^depends if it includes parts like expansion valve and drier.

Ideally, its better to replace both parts when the evaporator has been pulled down. the drier acts as a filter for the a/c system. it makes no sense to reuse once it has ended its service life. however the expansion valve can be reused but service life won't be the same as a bnew one.

Scenario: Kung wala ng lamig ang aircon tapos pinacheck sa isang aircon repair shop.

Paano pag sinabi na "sira ang compressor"

Paano mo malaalman na nagsasabi ng totoo?

linis yan siyempre ng evaporator siyempre. parehas lang ng sa room airconditioner, nililinis ang evaporator / condenser.

i have mine cleaned every january or february, just before the summer months

kinakaghan muna nila ng freon yan at nag-leleak test. check din ng a/c clutch. kapag wala pa ring lamig, dedbol na ang compressor

Kung may filter ang A/C matagal dudumi ang evaporator kaya change or clean mo lang yong filter. Kung madumi na ang evaporator hindi na lalamig kaya ito lang ang time na dapat linisin ito. Makakatipid ka pa.

i have both of my cars' a/c cleaned annually since 1 is very old and the other turning 3 yrs. dati kasi with the old car, when i begin to experience problems with the a/c eh dun lang ako nagpapalinis (in a span of 2-3 yrs), lagi nagkakaleak yung cooling coil so lagi palit (mga 3x na ko nagpalit), so i started the habit of having it cleaned annually, so far so good naman. anyway i'm not sure kung may benefits tong ginagawa ko kasi cleaning costs around 2-3k so i try to budget na lang.

Sir,

In 2-3 years na annual cleaning niyo mukhang makakabili na kayo ng brandnew na evaporator.
