Instead
A gentle rinse, or leave the coil to a technician.

- Salt build-up on outdoor units
Air conditioning in Sans Souci has to stand up to salt from Botany Bay and the Georges River. Professional servicing every six to twelve months matters, and simple owner care in between, like keeping the area clear and checking for salt crust, helps systems last longer. Alpha & Omega installs and services systems across Sydney's south and has since 1989.

Sans Souci FAQs
Sans Souci Air Conditioning Questions
Can I hose down my outdoor air conditioner unit?
A gentle rinse of the outside with a garden hose, with the system switched off, is generally fine. Never use a pressure washer, and leave internal cleaning to a technician.
How often should a bayside air conditioner be serviced?
Every six to twelve months, depending on how exposed the outdoor unit is to the bay and river.
What does salt damage look like?
White or greenish crust on the fins, flaking paint or rust on the casing, and gradually weaker cooling.
Should I cover my outdoor unit?
Never while it is running. A breathable cover may be used during long periods when the system is off, but it is often better to leave it uncovered.
Where is the best place for the outdoor unit?
Out of the direct sea breeze where possible, with clear airflow and safe access for servicing.
Are your technicians qualified and licensed?
We are. Our ARC licence for refrigerant work is AU54289 and our NSW contractor licence is 329810C.
