CasitioAir conditioner cleaning at home
The indoor unit, the drain and the blower wheel — the parts an ordinary clean never reaches. We work across Montevideo as a two-person team.
A split system passes the whole room through itself. Dust settles on the damp heat exchanger and blower wheel, and what lives in damp dust settles with it. That is where the smell on start-up, the drips from the housing and the sense that the unit no longer cools come from. The filter you rinse yourself only catches the coarse part of this.

Deep cleaning and its price
There is one cleaning to choose from: the deep clean, with the indoor unit taken off the wall and the heat exchanger and blower wheel pressure-washed. We used to offer a cheaper version that left the unit in place, and we stopped. It asked you to guess in advance how dirty the inside of your own unit was, and it often could not fix the thing you called us about.
$3 900 per air conditioner
Unit removed, heat exchanger and blower wheel pressure-washed, drain treated.

How the visit goes
-
Inspection and setup
We look at the unit, the way in to it and the space below, then cover the wall, floor and furniture.
-
Turning off the power
We take the unit fully off the supply — at the plug, at a separate isolator or at a known circuit breaker.
-
Disassembly and cleaning
Filters and panels come off, and we clean the heat exchanger, the blower wheel and the drain.
-
Reassembly and check
We reassemble, switch on, check the cooling and the drainage, and leave the work area tidy.
Where the service stops
- cleaning does not replace air conditioner repair
- we do not recharge refrigerant
- we do not open electrical panels and we do not work on wiring
- if the unit is faulty we will say so before cleaning, not after
Where it helps, we test on an inconspicuous area first.
On every job we use reusable cloths and covers, and we dilute our products from concentrate to suit the material. Eco-friendly approach
A two-person team will arrive for your appointment: a technician and an assistant. This allows us to perform some tasks in parallel, handle removable parts carefully and reduce the overall appointment time.
