Aircon technician in San Pa Pao: cleaning, repair and installation at home

What is different about aircon work in San Pa Pao

San Pa Pao lies east of the San Sai District Office, with Chiang Mai–Doi Saket Road forming its southern boundary. It is low-lying flat land crossed by the Kuang River and the Lam Mueang Kon and Lam Mueang Foei Hai channels, and the whole sub-district lies within the Mae Kuang Udom Thara irrigation area. Most of the land is still rice fields, mango orchards and longan orchards. Homes are mostly in older villages such as Ban San Ton Pao and Ban Phayak Noi, with a few small housing estates in between.

• Homes next to rice fields: dust comes with the seasons

  Farmland covers most of the sub-district, so homes next to the fields get soil dust during field preparation and harvest, and smoke haze in the dry season. Filters clog faster at those times than in other months. Washing the filters yourself every two to three weeks during these periods helps a lot, and I recommend a full clean before the smoke season.

• Mango and longan trees around the house drop leaves onto the outdoor unit

  In homes with mango or longan trees around them, dry leaves and fallen flowers pack into the fins and grille of the outdoor unit standing outside. This reduces heat dissipation and makes the unit work harder, which is a separate issue from dirt on the indoor coil. I open up and check the outdoor unit every time I come to clean.

• Homes on Chiang Mai–Doi Saket Road and homes in the villages need different cleaning intervals

  Homes and buildings along Chiang Mai–Doi Saket Road on the south side of the sub-district get traffic dust all day, while homes in the villages further in mainly get seasonal farm dust. So the two need different cleaning intervals. I check the filters on site and tell you how long to leave between cleanings.
