Sanitization of air conditioning systems inside buildings such as offices, hospitals, or commercial spaces should be carried out regularly as part of a routine maintenance program for the system itself.
The primary reason to request this service is to protect people’s health and ensure air quality, but energy consumption and system efficiency are also important factors that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Why Air Conditioning System Sanitization Is Necessary
Whether it’s hot or cold air, air conditioning systems are designed to regulate indoor temperatures. To ensure healthy air circulation for the benefit of the people occupying the premises, it is important that the system does not become a vehicle for contaminants.
Bacteriological contamination can lead to illnesses, sometimes serious, which is a particularly relevant concern in today’s context. In addition, regular sanitization of systems, alongside routine maintenance activities, helps reduce energy consumption and allows the air conditioning system to operate efficiently.
Unless emergency situations, such as confirmed cases of infection within a building, we recommend sanitizing the system every six months, ideally in autumn and spring, just before switching on the heating or cooling systems. It’s also advisable to clean and disinfect the systems after a long period of inactivity.
How Air Conditioning Systems Are Sanitized
Sanitizing air conditioning systems, like all environmental sanitization procedures, involves a combination of several steps.
The first phase includes cleaning operations to mechanically remove dirt and particulate residues from surfaces and ducts, including grilles, fans, vents, air filters, and condensate collection trays.
Next, disinfection is carried out using specific disinfectant products. This step effectively eliminates all types of pathogenic microorganisms. Disinfectants are typically applied in aerosol form throughout the air conditioning system using chemical products.
For proper sanitization of air conditioning systems, it’s crucial to rely on industry professionals to ensure the procedures are performed at the right intervals, using the correct methods, and in accordance with current regulations.
