What is a Hydro Clean cleaning service?
A Hydro Clean is a deep clean for your air conditioner. Besides washing the filters, it also clears dirt, mold, bacteria and other buildup inside the coils, fans, ducts using an eco-friendly high-pressure wash. This helps your air conditioner cool better, use less power, prevent health problems and last longer.

Discover 5 signs when your air conditioner needs Hydro Clean
Dirty or dusty filters and internal part
If you open the cover of your air conditioner and see grey, dusty or clogged filters, it’s a sign of trouble. You might also see dirt on the coil, fins or fan blades. This means the unit is holding more grime than a normal filter clean can fix. The buildup blocks airflow and makes the air less fresh. That’s when your air conditioner needs Hydro Clean to clear out the dirt completely.

Unpleasant odors or mold smells mean your air conditioner needs Hydro Clean
If your air conditioner blows out a musty or moldy smell, it is a strong sign of mold growth inside the unit. Moisture and dirt create the perfect environment for mold and bacteria. A Hydro Clean service will target these microorganisms, removing them completely so your air smells fresh and healthy again.

Decreased cooling performance and weak airflow
If your air conditioner isn’t blowing air as strongly or as cold as it used to, it often means parts inside like the coils or ducts are blocked with dirt and grime. When these parts get dirty, the unit has to work harder to keep your space cool, which makes it less efficient and uses more power. A Hydro Clean service will wash away all that buildup, helping your air conditioner blow stronger.

Unusual noises or louder operation
If you hear grinding, squeaking, or rattling from your air conditioner, dirt or debris might be blocking the fan or motor parts. This can make the unit wear out faster. Hydro Clean will clear the debris, help it run smoothly and extend its lifespan.

Water leaks or excess condensation around the unit
If you notice water pooling near your air conditioner, the drainage ducts might be blocked or dirty. This can cause leaks and even damage the unit. A Hydro Clean service will clear and clean the drainage system, stopping leaks and helping you avoid costly repairs.
Moreover, Hydro Clean is ideal for units with heavy dirt buildup or poor air quality, especially if it’s been over a year since the last clean or there’s visible dirt or mold. Standard servicing is better suited for regular upkeep every six months or sooner.

If you’ve spotted any of these warning signs, it’s a clear signal that your air conditioner needs Hydro Clean.
