Short answer
Yes. Limpieza de Ductería, a technical service of Climatiza, works in apartment buildings, offices and medical offices in San Francisco, one of the areas closest to its office, about 3 km away. The building’s management or the owner agrees the hours and access points with the team.
San Francisco is a neighborhood where homes and businesses live side by side. Mid-rise apartment and office buildings, medical offices, clinics and restaurants sit a few blocks from one another, and every property has its own air conditioning system. It is one of the closest areas: about 3 km by road from the Climatiza office, in an approximate calculation.
Almost all of those systems are switched on daily for many hours, so each duct network works without a rest and struggles to dry out inside. In a mid-sized building, moreover, the air from each branch always reaches the same people, and any buildup shows up among a small group of occupants.
Data point: In an air system that looked clean to the naked eye, 10⁵ to 10⁶ viable bacteria per cm² were counted on the coil fins (Hugenholtz and Fuerst, 1992). It is a case measured in a single system, not a general figure, which is why the camera looks inside before deciding.
| Building type | What is usually there | What is checked first |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment buildings | One system per property and branches that deliver air to the same families | Grilles in each unit, access to the false ceiling and the odor when the unit starts |
| Mid-rise offices | Floors occupied during office hours and one network per floor | Dusty grilles and uneven airflow between offices |
| Medical offices and clinics | Waiting rooms and consulting rooms with air distributed by area | Which network feeds each area and which protocol the practice sets for working on it |
| Restaurants | An air-conditioned dining room and a kitchen with its own exhaust | The dining room’s air conditioning first, while kitchen exhaust, a different service, is referred to Climatiza |
01
Camera inspection unit by unit, to learn how many networks the property has and who each one serves.
02
Cleaning by section, in the hours set by the management or the owner, depending on whether it is an apartment building, an office or a medical office.
03
For each network, a set of images and video that the owner keeps to compare at the next review.
Yes. Limpieza de Ductería, a technical service of Climatiza, works in apartment buildings, offices and medical offices in San Francisco, one of the areas closest to its office, about 3 km away. The building’s management or the owner agrees the hours and access points with the team.
A stuffy odor when the unit starts, dust on the grilles, complaints from several neighbors on the same branch and airflow that drops compared with other spaces all point to it. The camera confirms the condition inside. There is no calendar that works for every property. More in cleaning frequency.
The dining room’s air conditioning is inspected like that of any other premises. Kitchen exhaust and hoods are a different service, and they are referred to Climatiza under its own page. The inspection makes clear which network is which, so each job is requested where it belongs.
Not necessarily. Each property has its own system, and sometimes several units. The camera inspection shows which networks need it and in what order, and the plan fits the building’s use. The report records what was done and what remains pending.
Each building has its own system, and the inspection shows where to begin: see the procedure. Related: Condominium administrators, Restaurants and All areas. Climatiza has a San Francisco page (in Spanish), and the service is provided by Climatiza.
