District 1 is now four wards — all within our service area

Since 1 July 2025, under Resolution 1685/NQ-UBTVQH15, Ho Chi Minh City no longer has districts. The ten wards of the former District 1 have been reorganised into four: Sai Gon, Tan Dinh, Ben Thanh and Cau Ong Lanh. "District 1" remains the everyday name, so book with whichever address you are used to — we will match it.

All four wards are in our service area, 07:00–20:00 every day. Travel time between the centre and the east of the city varies with rush hour, so we confirm a specific time slot when you book rather than promise a fixed arrival window.

Sai Gon ward
All of the former Ben Nghe ward plus parts of Da Kao and Nguyen Thai Binh. Includes Ba Son with Vinhomes Golden River and Grand Marina Saigon (2 Ton Duc Thang), The Lancaster (22–22Bis Le Thanh Ton) and many serviced-apartment buildings around Dong Khoi and Le Thanh Ton.
Tan Dinh ward
The former Tan Dinh ward and the rest of Da Kao. Premium apartments, multi-storey townhouses and long-let rentals along Hai Ba Trung and Tran Quang Khai.
Ben Thanh ward
The former Ben Thanh and Pham Ngu Lao wards, part of Cau Ong Lanh and the rest of Nguyen Thai Binh. Dense with serviced apartments, officetels and townhouses let floor by floor.
Cau Ong Lanh ward
The former Nguyen Cu Trinh, Cau Kho and Co Giang wards and the rest of Cau Ong Lanh. Mostly townhouses, mid-sized apartment buildings and serviced apartments off the larger lanes.

Why air conditioners in central apartments work harder

Units in District 1 tend to run longer than average. Many towers have large glass façades and windows that rarely open, so almost all indoor air circulates through the indoor unit. Working from home, entertaining, short-stay apartments with constant occupancy — all of it means filters collect dust, fabric lint and kitchen grease faster than in a home that only cools at night.

The centre also has heavy traffic, and fine road dust rises to the lower and middle floors. With humidity averaging around 79.5% and rain from May to November, that dust mixes with condensation into a film on the fins and blower wheel — ideal conditions for mould.

For serviced apartments, the guest experience is everything: one musty draught or a drip above the bed is enough for an unwelcome review. Landlords in District 1 therefore tend to need a regular schedule and clear reports to keep maintenance records for each unit.

  • A damp or cooking smell in the first few minutes after switching on.
  • A large, high-ceilinged living room slow to cool even with the unit running continuously.
  • Black marks or dust around the edges of ducted ceiling vents.
  • Water pooling or dripping from a cassette unit in the wettest months.
  • Guests reporting noise or weak airflow in the bedrooms.

VRV, multi-split and ducted systems: how we clean them

Unlike typical apartments with only wall units, many luxury apartments in District 1 use central VRV/VRF or multi-split systems — one outdoor unit serving several indoor units. These may be ceiling cassettes, ducted units hidden above a plasterboard ceiling, or wall units in the secondary bedrooms. We price each indoor unit in your apartment by its actual type and confirm the approach before booking.

Ducted indoor units
700,000 VND each. Accessed through the ceiling hatch: filter, coil, tray and condensate drain cleaned, supply and return grilles wiped. The hatch needs to be large enough to work safely.
Ceiling cassettes
550,000 VND each, about 90–120 minutes. A collection bag hangs directly beneath the unit, and wooden floors and rugs are covered before rinsing.
Wall units on a multi-split system
250,000 VND for 1–1.5 HP and 300,000 VND for 2 HP+. Tell us the number of indoor units and where the shared outdoor unit is, and we will confirm a fixed price.
The building's central outdoor plant
On VRV/VRF systems, outdoor units usually sit on a plant floor or the roof and are run by building management. We clean only outdoor units belonging to your apartment, where safely reachable; shared building equipment is outside our scope.
Floor-standing units
500,000 VND each — often found in serviced-apartment lobbies or the living rooms of multi-storey townhouses.

What does aircon cleaning cost in District 1? Examples by apartment

These examples are calculated directly from our current fixed prices so you can budget with confidence. With 3 or more units in one visit, every unit from unit 3 onwards is 10% off; the two most expensive are charged at the list price. Real set-ups vary, so your Up specialist always confirms the number and type of indoor units and the final price before starting.

  • Prices include labour, tools, professional solutions, furniture protection, dirty-water collection, your apartment's own outdoor unit where safely reachable, and your Up Report.
  • The gas-pressure check is free; if a unit is low, we quote before topping up and proceed only with your approval — R32/R410A for units up to 2 HP from 250,000 VND per unit. VRV and multi-split indoor units, cassettes, floor-standing units and other gas types are quoted after measuring.
  • Our online Quote tool shows your total instantly once you choose unit types and quantities.
Serviced studio
1 wall unit (1–1.5 HP): 250,000 VND.
2-bedroom apartment, multi-split
3 wall indoor units (1–1.5 HP): 725,000 VND, including 10% off from unit 3 onwards.
3-bedroom apartment, ducted
3 ducted units and 1 living-room cassette: 2,525,000 VND, including 10% off from unit 3 onwards.
Penthouse or sky villa
2 cassettes and 4 ducted units: 3,650,000 VND, including 10% off from unit 3 onwards.
4-bedroom apartment
5 wall units (1–1.5 HP) in one visit: 1,175,000 VND, including 10% off from unit 3 onwards. Landlords with several apartments in the same building, booked in one session, have the units added together for the discount.

Strict building access in the centre: how we prepare

Luxury buildings in District 1 often have tighter security than elsewhere. Many require owners to register contractors in advance, with ID checks and temporary passes at the lobby, use of the goods lift, set working hours and quiet periods at lunchtime or weekends. Every building is different; we always ask first and follow the rules where you live.

When booking, just give us the building, unit number and an on-site contact. We send your specialist's name and photo so you or reception can complete the formalities. Parking in the centre is limited, so we will ask about any contractor entrance your building specifies. Time spent on lobby formalities after an on-time arrival does not count as lateness.

  • For serviced apartments, we can coordinate directly with the operations manager or reception on the owner's authorisation.
  • We never work outside a railing without an anchor point; if access equipment is needed, we tell you first and proceed only with your approval.
  • Dirty water is collected in a purpose-made bag — never emptied into corridors, balconies or common areas.

How often to clean, and how to book

As a guide for the city centre, where units run long hours and windows stay shut: short-stay serviced apartments every 2–3 months or between guests; family bedrooms used nightly every 3 months; living rooms and home offices running all day every 3–4 months; officetels every 3 months, ideally at the weekend; and vacant apartments before the owner returns or a new tenant moves in. Between cleanings, run the kitchen extractor while cooking and leave the unit on fan mode for a few minutes before switching off so the coil can dry.

  • Choose your units on our Quote page, or send photos of the indoor units and ceiling hatches by WhatsApp or Zalo on +84 968 726 135.
  • We confirm the slot, send your specialist's name and photo, and help you complete registration with management or reception.
  • Your specialist records the room as found, protects the area and works to the Up Standard for each unit type.
  • A test run and outlet-temperature check with you or your representative, everything returned as it was, and your Up Report sent.
  • Pay after sign-off by bank transfer or cash; VAT invoices are issued by Uptech Technology Solution Company Limited (tax code 0316973414) on request.

Can you clean an apartment on a VRV or multi-split system?+

A ceiling access hatch large enough to work through. Send photos of the hatch and vents when booking and we will confirm the approach and fixed price before your specialist arrives.

Yes. Many owners authorise reception, the operations manager or a family member to let us in. Everything is recorded in your Up Report, sent by WhatsApp or Zalo.

Gas pressure is checked free on every visit. If it is low, we quote first and proceed only with your approval — R32/R410A for units up to 2 HP from 250,000 VND per unit. We don't repair components; anything unusual is noted in your Up Report.
