Prepare for AC cleaning day in Montreal

A smooth cleaning visit depends on access and clear scope more than on last-minute scrubbing. This checklist helps Montreal homeowners and condo residents prepare before Climeo arrives.

Your requested time stays a request until Climeo confirms availability in Montreal time. This page does not change published prices or invent same-day guarantees.

Before you book

Count indoor heads and note whether units are labeled wall-mounted AC, mini-split, or heat pump. Choose the matching service page or booking option so scope matches equipment.

If water leaks, weak airflow, musty odor, or renovation dust is part of why you are booking, mention it in the request notes so the team can confirm cleaning-only fit.

Day-of access checklist

Clear space under and around each indoor head, move fragile items, and plan pet separation if needed. Someone should be available to provide entry for the confirmed window.

For condos, confirm building entry rules, parking, and elevator booking if required. Multi-unit or property-manager scopes use the commercial quote path.

What happens during the visit

Technicians clean accessible filters, coil surfaces, blower areas, and drain paths where reachable, then run airflow and temperature checks on the completed scope.

Cleaning is not repair, refrigerant work, electrical diagnosis, or whole-house duct cleaning. Visible follow-ups outside cleaning are noted rather than invented as included extras.

After the visit

Keep filters clear between professional cleanings when the manufacturer allows homeowner filter care. Book again seasonally when dust, odor, or runtime increases — see the seasonal cadence guide for educational timing only.

If problems return immediately with error codes, no cooling/heating, or recurring ice, request qualified HVAC repair rather than another cleaning-only visit.

FAQ

Do I need to clean the unit myself first?
No. Clearing access is enough. Do not force panels or use harsh chemicals that can damage fins.

What if my preferred time cannot be confirmed?
Climeo will offer another Montreal-time window. Requested times are never treated as guaranteed dispatch before confirmation.

Where do I see what is included and pricing?
Use the pricing page for residential rates and the EN price guide for scope detail. Commercial and unusual access use a quote.
