Air conditioning units can gather dust, this is due to them having open spaces that can attract and gather dirt/microbes which causes bacteria to multiply.
Easy access for cleaning and maintenance is key for air conditioning units because dust and dirt can be harmful to inhale for individuals.
Dust can be dangerous to those with respiratory infections and conditions like asthma, and for some, it can even inflict lung disease.
Another thing to keep in mind is, air conditioning units can become difficult to clean due to their positioning on walls. So, an air conditioning guard needs to have easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Read on to find out how…
How Do Air Conditioning Guards Provide Easy Access For Cleaning?
Having guards that have hinges that allow them to drop down is a practical feature to have. These features will provide easy access for individuals to clean properly to get rid of the dust and dirt that is gathered.
With these hinges, guards can be quickly dropped down without any hassle. Traditional air conditioning guards may require 2 or more people to dismantle the guard to thoroughly clean the unit.
Whereas air conditioning guards with easy access provide straightforward access for one person to clean the guard just in a few seconds.
This is particularly important for environments like hospitals. Especially with recent events and risks of hospital-acquired infections, access for cleaning makes sure that hospitals are comfortable and as safe as possible for all service users.
Contour air conditioning guards whether that’s wall/floor mounted or flat panelled provide smooth access for cleaning and maintenance.
