Key Takeaways
Wall-mounted AC cleaning starts at ฿600; ceiling cassette and larger unit types start from ฿1,600.
Price is affected by AC type, BTU size, accessibility, and what is included in the service scope.
Standard vs. Premium Clean: A Standard Clean involves a high-pressure rinse of the evaporator coil, blower fan, filter, and outdoor condenser unit, while a Premium Clean (Deep Clean) requires fully disassembling all aircon parts for a meticulous wash.
Most homes should clean their AC every 3–6 months, depending on usage and environment.
How Much Does AC Cleaning Cost?
For standard wall-mounted units commonly used in homes and condos, the service fee starts at ฿600. For ceiling cassette, floor-standing, or concealed-ducted units, the starting rate is higher, beginning at ฿1,600, as these systems are more complex and require technicians to spend more time and use specialized equipment compared to standard AC cleanings. You can use these figures as a guideline for setting your budget when posting a job on the gigit app, where technicians will submit their bids based on your AC type, BTU size, and location.
To ensure you receive the most cost-effective service that perfectly fits your needs, a standard AC clean on the gigit app fully covers a high-pressure rinse of the indoor evaporator coil, blower fan, dust filter, and outdoor condenser unit. This guarantees you receive quality workmanship and an AC that feels brand new!

What Affects the Price?
Four factors consistently move the price above or below the starting rate.
AC Type and BTU Size: Wall-mounted units are the most common type and the easiest to clean. On the other hand, ceiling cassette and concealed ducted units require partial disassembly and more labor time, which increases the price based on their complexity. Furthermore, even within the same AC type, BTU sizes vary; units with larger BTUs have bigger coils and take longer to clean, meaning the price scales up accordingly.
Site Accessibility: Units installed more than 3 meters off the ground may require experienced technicians and specialized equipment, which can incur additional charges. If your unit is exceptionally high or located in a confined space, we recommend mentioning this when posting your job so that technicians can provide an accurate bid.
Refrigerant Top-up: A standard clean does not include refrigerant top-up services. If the technician inspects the unit on-site and finds that the refrigerant level is low or below standard, the top-up will be billed separately. The technician will inform you and get your approval before proceeding.
Service Level: A standard clean focuses on washing accessible components and surfaces. Meanwhile, a premium clean is a deep clean that includes removing the blower motor for washing, which effectively eliminates persistent musty odors that a standard clean cannot reach.
What Should a Proper AC Clean Include?
Whether you choose a standard or premium service, a proper AC clean must include the following two main components:
Indoor Unit (Evaporator Coil): Requires a high-pressure water rinse of the evaporator coil, blower fan, and drain tray. The front panel and dust filters must be removed and washed, and any blockages in the drain pipe must be cleared. (If the premium service is selected, this will also include deeply dismantling and washing the blower motor assembly).
Outdoor Unit (Condensing Unit / Coil): Requires a high-pressure water rinse of the condenser fins. An inspection of electrical connections and wiring is performed, along with a refrigerant pressure check to ensure the system is operating properly.
Skipping the outdoor condensing unit leaves half the system dirty. A condenser clogged with dust forces the compressor to work harder, leading to higher electricity bills and a shorter lifespan for your AC.

How Often Should You Clean Your AC?
If you live in Bangkok, the ideal frequency for aircon cleaning is every 3–6 months. Due to PM2.5 and various urban pollution issues, filters and AC coils accumulate dirt much faster than in provincial areas. If you run your air conditioner for 8 hours or more per day, it is recommended to have your home AC cleaned every 3 months. For units that are rarely used, the interval can be extended to every 6 months.
Additionally, here are the warning signs that your AC needs immediate cleaning without waiting for the next scheduled round:
The AC starts losing its cooling efficiency or the airflow becomes weak.
A musty odor blows out when the unit is turned on.
Visible dust accumulation is clearly seen around the louvers.
Your electricity bill spikes abnormally, even though your usage patterns remain the same.
Do not wait until these warning signs become severe. A neglected and heavily soiled AC coil can become a breeding ground for mould, which circulates through the room air and poses health risks to everyone in the house.
