Aircon cleaning in North Brisbane.
ZapSquad cleans split-system air conditioners at your home across North Brisbane. We open the unit up and clean the parts you can't reach: the coil, fan, covers and filters. You deal directly with the licensed tradesperson doing the job.
From $120 per split system. A full clean of the coil, fan, filters and covers.
Also searched as air con cleaning, air conditioner cleaning or split system cleaning.
Why it needs cleaning
Damp, dust and Queensland heat.
The indoor coil runs cold, so it sweats. In humid weather that moisture holds onto dust, and mould and algae can grow on the coil, the fan and the vents. The fan then blows air across all of it. A unit that runs most of the day builds up faster.
Signs it's time for a clean
- A musty or damp smell when it starts up
- Weak airflow, or the room takes longer to cool
- Dust, dark spots or mould on the vents and covers
- It hasn't been cleaned in the last year or so
What builds up
- Dust and lint matted across the filters
- A grey film over the coil fins
- Mould spots on filters and louvres
- Sludge and rust marks behind the vent grille
What we do on the day
The clean, step by step.
A wash bag goes under the unit to catch the run-off and protect your wall and floor. Then the work goes in this order.
- Covers off. The front cover and grille come off so the coil and fan barrel can be reached.
- Filters and indoor coil. The filters are washed and the coil is cleaned.
- Chemical wash. A wash made for air conditioners, followed by sanitising and a deodoriser.
- Covers deep cleaned. The covers and louvres are scrubbed, not just wiped.
- Outdoor unit. The outdoor unit is cleaned too.
- Rebuild and test. Everything goes back together and the unit is temperature tested.

Questions
Aircon cleaning FAQ.
How often should an air conditioner be cleaned?
As a guide, once a year suits many homes. A unit that runs most of the day, or a home with pets or allergy sufferers, can need it more often. If you notice a musty smell or weaker airflow, get it cleaned sooner.
Why does my split system smell musty?
In humid weather the indoor coil gets cold and sweats. Dust that sticks to it stays damp, mould and algae can grow, and the fan blows the smell into the room. Cleaning the coil, fan barrel and covers removes what has built up.
What's the difference between washing the filters and a full clean?
The filters catch dust at the front of the unit, and you can wash them yourself. Check your manual for how often. The coil and fan sit behind the covers, which is where heavier build-up collects. Reaching them means taking the unit apart, which is what a full clean covers.
