AC cleaning before moving into a new apartment
What to inspect and clean before you unpack in a UAE apartment. FCU, splits, ducts, photos.
Tip: send a photo of the indoor and outdoor unit on WhatsApp before we quote extras.
Before furniture
This is the easy day to open an FCU. After the wardrobe is under it, everyone gets lazy. Photograph the pan. If it is furred, book split or FCU cleaning before you sleep there.
Ask the agent
Who last opened the unit? A receipt beats a smile. See tenants and the move-out checklist in reverse.
Ducts
If the last tenant smoked or renovated, camera or clean. Grey film on day two is your answer.
Warning: do not poke live terminals or recover refrigerant yourself. Isolation first, then WhatsApp.
