If odors return after cleaning
If the odor returns after cleaning only the filter, it can help to check for dirt inside the unit, around the drain, at the installation location, and for cooking oil fumes from the kitchen. We can use photos and the symptoms to determine whether disassembly cleaning may be sufficient.
- You can send photos of the air outlet, filter, panel, interior buildup, and installation location.
- Please let us know about any odors that concern you, such as a musty smell, greasy odor, or dusty smell.
- Air conditioning units near the kitchen may be dirtier than usual.

If you’re unsure whether you need cleaning or an inspection or repair
If there is a water leak, unusual noise, error display, or reduced performance, it may be unclear whether cleaning alone will suffice. We’ll ask for the model number, number of units, installation location, and symptoms, then advise whether to start with disassembly cleaning, drain cleaning, or an inspection or repair consultation.
- If there is a water leak or an error display, you can send us a photo showing the symptoms.
- Conditions for late-night or early-morning work and using stepladders can also be included in the work plan.
- For multiple stores, you can keep store-by-store records of unit counts, model numbers, and cleaning histories.

QUESTIONS / FAQ
Questions about store air conditioner odors and performance
Can cleaning improve odors from store air conditioners?
If the cause is a dirty filter, air outlet, interior, mold, or cooking oil fumes, cleaning may help. Equipment faults or the need for an inspection are also possible, so please share the symptoms, model number, number of units, and installation location. Send us the number of stores, areas to be serviced, and preferred work hours to request a quote.
What is the difference between air conditioner cleaning and statutory inspections?
Cleaning addresses filters and internal dirt, while statutory inspections involve regulatory checks. The equipment covered and inspection requirements depend on the circumstances, so we will explain the necessary steps while referring to official information.
Are air conditioners more likely to get dirty in stores with kitchens?
In stores where cooking oil fumes and dust can easily enter the air-conditioning system, buildup may occur faster than usual. Checking the kitchen ventilation, range hood, and filters along with the system can help determine how to address odors or reduced performance. Send us the number of stores, areas to be serviced, and preferred work hours to request an estimate.

Do bakery and café air-conditioning systems get dirty easily?
