No. Coil cleaning removes build-up from the coil, while duct cleaning deals with the passages carrying air around your home. If both need attention, each should be included in the agreed work. Our guide to AC servicing, duct cleaning and coil cleaning explains what each service covers.

Breathe Home Maintenance recommends cleaning AC coils once a year. Arrange an earlier check if cooling weakens, the system runs for longer or a smell or leak develops. Keep routine AC servicing every four months as well; a deep coil clean is a separate service when inspection shows it is needed.

Our routine service includes inspecting the indoor evaporator coil and cleaning the condenser coil within the standard scope. A dedicated deep clean of a contaminated indoor coil is separate. Check which coil and cleaning method are included when comparing quotations.

The cost depends on the number of coils, their condition and access to the equipment. Contact Breathe Home Maintenance with your property details for a quotation. Confirm which units are covered, whether VAT is included and whether any additional access work is needed.

Book a check if rooms take longer to cool, the AC runs for longer than usual, or persistent odours or leaks appear. Recent renovation is another reason to check the system. These signs can have several causes, so an inspection should confirm whether the coil needs cleaning or another fault needs attention.
