In most cases the coil is probably dirty – especially if it has never been cleaned. You will find after a Hygienik Air Conditioner Treatment that the temperature will pull down a couple of degrees saving on energy costs.
In this case it is probably very dirty and therefore the air flow is restricted. Once the blower fan (drum) has been properly cleaned the airflow will increase significantly. The drum has up to 400 small fan blades on it and once the leading edge of each blade gets a build up of dirt it simply becomes inefficient.
Generally this is due to the blower fan (drum) being out of balance. A build up of contaminants on the drum would possibly be the cause and a clean will fix the problem.
A smelly air conditioner is a “dirty air conditioner. A proper service and clean will rectify the problem. Hygienik’s cleaning and sanitisation process will ensure a clean airflow.

A clogged up air conditioner with dirt and dust can cut efficiency up to 50%. With this in mind, a regular service can save you up to 30% in energy costs.
It is not recommended to leave your air conditioning system on when not at home. If however you do, you should ensure that it is maintained and serviced regulary.
A good quality system will last long past its standard warranty period. However to ensure that it lasts for well past this period you should make sure it is well maintained.
This totally depends on the amount of use, environment and of course your budget. In high use and humid environments a minimum of a complete service once a year is recommended.
It is especially important during the summer when humidity is high and allergens circulate, that you should clean air filters monthly. If you also use your air conditioner during winter then every 2 months.
Legionella is found in the cooling towers of large buildings and can also be found in evaporative air conditioners. Legionella is not an issue in refrigerated air conditioners.
23 degrees is the temperature at which an air conditioning runs most efficient and economical. Every 1°C lower can increase running costs by up to 15%.
