Why North Shore is different

Why air conditioners across the North Shore need regular cleaning

The North Shore is really two housing markets on one train line. In North Sydney 75.7 per cent of homes are flats or apartments, and more than half are rented (ABS Census 2021). Up the line in Ku-ring-gai it flips: 68.6 per cent are separate houses and 52.6 per cent have four or more bedrooms. Hornsby is similar, with 69.5 per cent houses and 46.2 per cent at four bedrooms or more.

That split changes the job. Lower down, the typical call is one or two wall units in an apartment, often with the outdoor unit on a small balcony or a shared plant deck. Further up, it is a house with a split in most bedrooms, a unit in the living area, and sometimes a ducted system in the roof as well.

The upper half also sits hard against bushland: Lane Cove National Park, Ku-ring-gai Chase and Berowra Valley. Leaf litter, bark and pollen settle on outdoor coils and in the gap behind the fins. An outdoor unit on a leafy block can look fine from the front and be half blocked from behind.

Inside, the problem is the same everywhere. The indoor coil condenses water every time the system cools, the drain pan and barrel fan stay damp, and mould grows in the dust that collects there. That is the musty smell in the first minute after you switch on.

Warning signs to watch for

What happens when your aircon is not cleaned

  • Mould on the fan barrel. Dark growth on the blades and behind the front cover, in the damp that never fully dries.
  • A musty smell within minutes. Switch the unit on and the smell is back. That is the barrel, not the room.
  • Weaker airflow and slower cooling. A blocked filter and coil choke the air path, so the unit runs longer for the same result.
  • Higher running costs. A condenser that cannot shed heat makes the compressor work harder all summer.
  • Water dripping from the head. A blocked drain line backs up into the tray and then onto your wall.

Access

Where units sit across the North Shore, and how we reach them

In the apartment belt from Kirribilli and North Sydney through Crows Nest, St Leonards and Chatswood, most outdoor units sit on balconies or on a rooftop plant area. If yours is on a shared roof, we only need you to let building management know we are coming. You do not need a strata vote to clean your own unit.

On the houses further north, outdoor units are usually down a side path or at the back near a retaining wall. We bring drop sheets and a bagging kit for the indoor unit, so nothing drips on carpet or timber floors, and we carry everything in by hand. No hose runs through the house.

We had an excellent experience with Yoti and couldn’t be happier with his service! He did an exceptional job in cleaning our aircon unit, bathroom exhaust fan, and servicing/cleaning our fireplace and chimney - all in the one visit. We highly recommend Yoti - fantastic service from start to finish!

I had Tony and his colleague over today to clean our three split systems and the exhaust! They did a tremendous job and cleaned everything impeccably! They were also super lovely and helpful! Highly recommend!

Quick and easy clean from Tom and Yoti! We’re all prepped for summer!

After a professional clean

What you will notice

  • Stronger, cleaner airflow. A coil and barrel that are clear move the air they were designed to move.
  • The musty smell goes. The smell lives on the fan barrel and in a blocked drain. We deal with both.
  • Fresher air for the whole family. Mould, dust and pet dander come out of the unit instead of circulating through the room.
  • A unit that works less hard. A clean coil sheds heat properly, so the compressor stops running long and hot to reach the same temperature.
  • A longer service life. Most of what kills a split system early is years of buildup nobody looked at.

2

We protect the area

Drop sheets and a containment bag go under the unit before anything comes off the wall.

3

A proper strip-down

Cover, filters and fan barrel come off. The barrel, coil and housing are chemically cleaned and rinsed, and the drain line is flushed.

4

Tested, and we show you

The unit goes back together, gets a sanitising treatment, and we run it and check airflow and drainage in front of you.

The area

About the North Shore

We treat the North Shore as the area covered by North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove, Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby councils. The four largest of those councils alone held more than 170,000 private dwellings at the 2021 Census, from harbourside apartments to houses on big bush blocks.

Across the region it is the same service and the same price: a split system deep clean from $249 + GST per unit, with 20 per cent off the second unit in the same visit. There is no call-out fee and no travel surcharge anywhere between the harbour and Berowra.

FAQ

Aircon cleaning in the North Shore: common questions

How much does aircon cleaning cost on the North Shore?

A split system deep clean starts at $249 + GST per unit, with 20 per cent off the second unit in the same visit. Ducted systems start at $350 + GST and are quoted per property. There is no call-out fee and the quote is free.

Do you cover the whole North Shore, up to Hornsby and Berowra?

Yes. We work from Kirribilli and Mosman through Chatswood, Lindfield, Wahroonga and Hornsby, and up to Berowra and Mount Kuring-gai, with no travel surcharge.

My house has five split systems. Can you do them all in one visit?

Yes. Larger homes are common north of Chatswood, and we plan the visit around the number of units. One split takes about an hour and a half to two hours including the outdoor unit; the second unit in the same visit is 20 per cent off.

Can you clean a unit in a North Sydney apartment?

Yes. You do not need strata approval to clean your own unit. If the outdoor unit is on a shared roof or plant deck, just let building management know the day and time.

Our block backs onto bushland. Does that matter?

It does for the outdoor unit. Leaves, bark and pollen collect behind the fins, which cuts airflow and makes the system run longer. We clean the outdoor coil from both sides, not just the front grille.

Do you clean ducted systems?

Yes. We quote ducted systems per property because the number of outlets and the return-air setup vary a lot between houses.

How often should I have it cleaned?

Once a year suits most homes. If the system runs most of the year, if you have pets, or if anyone in the house has asthma or allergies, every six months is more realistic.

Will cleaning get rid of the musty smell?

If the smell is mould, yes. It comes from the indoor coil and the barrel fan, not the filters, which is why washing the filters only helps for a few days.
