Watch that they don't cook any pets trapped in the room.

The normal temperature of the gas circulating in the coil is approx 7°C when the system is operating correctly. The air circulating through the cooling coil will drop to approx an air off the coil temperature between approx 12°C to 15°C depending on the room temperature. When the filter blocks the air stops moving through the coil. This reduces the heat load on the coil and the coil temperature drops below 0°C. The coil then starts to freeze the moisture in the air and causes the coil to ice up.

Kurgan your a good guy but if you pay 400b (£8)
What'd you expect mate
A decent tradesman or specialist wouldn't scratch his bollox for 8 nicker

Highest minimum wage here is 300 baht a day and only labor required for the job
In phuket 400 to 600 baht per air conditioner depends if you want 1 or 4 cleaned
Takes about 1 hour to strip down and clean both inside and outside air con units
Plenty of service places around that charge 500 baht for a proper strip down clean
and that's what we pay for a top cleaning job, only extra which is not normally needed
is for refrigerant/gas
Of coarse we check with local Thai/farang friends to find a good company, not the Internet

I suppose thats where I am lucky as I own a Air conditioning wholesale outlet and Lady Cows brother owns an air conditioning service company. I find the A/C we installed in the boudoir when Lady cow got knocked up needs the filters cleaned every 3 months due to the "clean" Bangkok air although I am fussy and it doesn't cost me.
