Ducted Split AC Cleaning, Repair and Installation

When this service is suitable

Ducted split air conditioners route conditioned air through concealed ceiling ducts to multiple outlets, for a clean and discreet appearance. System design, duct routing, and accessible areas directly affect how cleaning and repair are arranged. Cleaning is priced by system count with a published starting price; repair and installation are inspection-first, quote-after.

• Cleaning starts from a published price by system count; actual scope confirmed on-site
• Accessible cleaning area depends on duct routing and access-panel positions
• Repair and installation require an on-site assessment before a quote is given

Cleaning

Ducted cleaning is carried out at accessible locations, including removable unit components and vents. The extent of duct interior cleaning depends on the access-panel design, which is confirmed after the technician visits. Kärcher high-temperature steam cleaning is available as an add-on. Published starting prices are listed by system count.

• Review system design and accessible locations before cleaning
• Protective covering based on work location
• Clean accessible unit components and vents
• Check drainage and carry out a post-clean test run
• Optional Kärcher steam cleaning add-on available

Repair and Fault Inspection

Common ducted AC issues include weak airflow, uneven cooling across zones, dripping water and unusual noise. Repair is inspection-first, quote-after: the technician assesses the system design and fault before explaining findings and confirming a course of action.

• Weak airflow: assess fan, dampers and ductwork condition
• Zone cooling insufficient: check airflow distribution and refrigerant
• Dripping: assess drain pipe, drain pan and installation
• Unusual noise: assess fan and duct operation
• Repair confirmed and quoted only after on-site inspection

Installation and Removal

Ducted installation requires planning duct routing, vent placement and drainage. Installation is site-review-first: the technician assesses conditions before proposing a plan and quote.

• Plan duct routing and vent outlet positions
• Confirm ceiling structure and available working space
• Ensure drain pipe maintains a continuous downward slope
• Schedule downtime for installation based on site operating hours
• Post-installation test to confirm airflow and cooling across all zones

Price and quote factors

• System count and duct coverage: scope is determined by indoor units, zones and accessible locations
• Access-panel positions: affect the range of cleaning possible and method used
• Repair scope: fault cause determines the work needed; a quote is only given after on-site inspection

Frequently asked questions

Can the inside of the ducts be cleaned?

The accessible duct interior depends on the access-panel design and available working space. The technician confirms what can be reached during the visit and explains the cleaning scope; areas that cannot be reached are not included in the service.

One zone is much warmer than others — does that always need a repair?

Not necessarily. Damper settings, blocked vents or airflow distribution issues are common causes. Cleaning and inspection is a reasonable first step; repair of parts or refrigerant is only considered after those are ruled out.

Can ducted cleaning at a commercial site be done zone by zone?

Yes. Work can be sequenced by unit count, zone and shutdown window. The final order and timing is confirmed based on the site visit.
