When to Schedule a Chemical Flush

Does your air conditioner (AC) need a deep cleansing? Your HVAC specialist can perform a chemical flush.

If standard scrubbing or rinsing isn’t doing the trick, a chemical wash may be necessary.

It’s a cleaning method that will make your air conditioning system spotless—like when you first had it installed. Now, that’s a great way to start your summer here in Texas.

A clean air conditioning unit runs more efficiently, thus saving you money. On average, heating and cooling will account for 50 percent of the average American’s energy costs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). To avoid overpaying on utilities (or for a replacement unit), remember to schedule seasonal maintenance.

Year-round, AAA Air Control is pleased to take care of your temperature control equipment. In addition to air conditioning, we service furnaces, heat pumps, thermostats, and more.  If you’re looking for a chemical wash in CITY, we have you covered.

What Are the Signs I Need a Chemical Flush for My Air Conditioner?

The solvent liquid breaks down sediment, mold, and bacteria in your air conditioning unit. This may be necessary when:

• You’ve noticed cooling takes longer than usual.
• You smell bad odors (i.e. mildew or mold).
• You’ve had a pest infestation.
• You haven’t had maintenance or cleaning in awhile.

Many of these list items may require additional services, such as a repair or duct cleaning. If you’re having AC trouble, be sure to have your AAA Air Control expert perform an inspection and diagnose the problem. That way, you can discuss options and make a fully informed decision.

What Are the Benefits of Yearly Chemical Flushes?

During seasonal maintenance visits, many Texas homeowners opt to have a chemical flush performed on their cooling equipment. Here’s why:

• It allows your cooling system to operate more efficiently.
• It protects your equipment, helping it last longer.
• It improves indoor air quality (IAQ) by eliminating dust, mildew, mold, and other airborne contaminants.

What Happens During a Chemical Flush?

First, your HVAC specialist will disassemble your AC unit. Next, they will use a solvent to individually clean the parts, including the coils, blowers, and condensate drain. The solvent works its magic—breaking down and removing any unwanted substances that are clinging on parts. After that, your system will run like new.

Once your specialist removes the solvent, they will reassemble the machine and perform additional maintenance as needed. This may include adjusting the blower components, inspecting for damaged parts, or checking to ensure your thermostat is operating correctly.
