Who is responsible for air conditioner coil cleaning?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heatwave, I noticed a strange odor coming from the area near the air conditioner outside our balcony. The landlord mentioned something about coil cleaning during my initial inspection but didn't go into details. Are coil cleaning tasks typically the responsibility of the tenant or should the landlord handle this? How often are these coils supposed to be cleaned anyway?

coil cleaning is typically the responsibility of the landlord within the uae particularly dubai. this is based upon local regulations which stipulate that landlords are required to maintain the air conditioning systems and ensure their efficient operation throughout the year. however, it's important for tenants to communicate any issues or concerns they have with the system as soon as possible, so any necessary maintenance can be addressed promptly.
in general, coils should be cleaned annually to keep the air conditioner operating efficiently and effectively. during a heatwave like you experienced, this is especially crucial since higher temperatures increase the strain on the system which could lead to malfunction or unpleasant odors. these conditions are often due to dirt, dust, and other debris accumulating in the condenser coil. if the smell persists after the landlord has attended to the cleaning, it might be wise to request a professional inspection. this can help rule out any underlying issues that need addressing beyond just a simple clean. i recommend getting in touch with professionals like those at saniservice. they offer comprehensive mold and environmental inspections which could pinpoint the source of the odor and provide solutions. remember that regular maintenance not only improves air quality but also saves energy, reducing your utility bills. make sure to check local regulations or consult your lease agreement for specific terms regarding maintenance responsibilities. if there's any ambiguity, it’s a good idea to clarify with your landlord before taking any actions yourself. always ensure the safety and cleanliness of your indoor environment by keeping up with these maintenance tasks. should you need further advice or assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. |
