Not all air conditioner cleaning services are created equal. While most homeowners know their system needs regular maintenance, it’s not always clear what type of servicing your aircon really needs. At DEEPCHILL, we offer both standard servicing and deep Hydro Clean solutions, depending on your unit’s condition.

So, how do you know which one is right for your system? Let’s break down what’s included in each service and when you should go beyond the basics.
What’s included in a DEEPCHILL Hydro Clean?
A Hydro Clean is not your average clean – it’s a full internal detox for your air conditioner. This service is designed for aircons that are clogged with dust, mould, or bacteria, or have not been cleaned in over a year.
Here’s what DEEPCHILL’s Hydro Clean process includes:
- Set up of a safe working zone with protective sheeting
- Full system inspection and testing before disassembly
- Isolating the unit and removing evaporator covers
- Application of coil cleaning agent
- Thorough hydro-cleaning and sanitisation of the evaporator, fan blades, and drain pan
- Use of a treatment bag to safely capture waste
- Reassembly and full system test on both heating and cooling modes
- Refrigerant leak check
- A condition report and clean-up of the workspace
✅ Our Hydro Clean service is available for split systems, cassettes, and ducted air conditioning units.

So, which one does your AC really need?
If your aircon just needs a routine clean and has been serviced recently, a standard servicing is likely enough. But if you’re noticing:
- Musty smells
- Weak airflow
- Increased energy bills
- Visible dust or mould
…it’s time to consider a Hydro Clean. It’s the best way to restore performance, improve indoor air quality, and extend your aircon’s lifespan.
