Edic PTAC

Frequently Asked Questions
A: The EDIC PTAC Cleaning System is a method for deep cleaning PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) units efficiently. It primarily utilizes the patented PTAC Cleaning Cradle, a wheeled and adjustable stand, which is paired with an existing portable carpet extractor (such as the EDIC Galaxy) to provide the necessary high-pressure water flow and powerful vacuum suction.
A: PTAC stands for Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner. These are the self-contained heating and cooling units commonly found in hotels, motels, and apartment buildings.
A: Regular cleaning prevents a severe negative impact on indoor air quality, increases the unit's energy efficiency (reducing consumption), and extends the lifespan of the PTAC unit. Neglecting maintenance can lead to expensive water damage from clogged drains and costly downtime of rooms.
A: No, the PTAC Cleaning Cradle can be used with any existing portable carpet extractor that has sufficient pressure (usually 800 PSI or more recommended for optimal results) and a vacuum hose. EDIC does offer the "Galaxy Pro PTAC Extractor Kit" which bundles a compatible extractor with the necessary accessories.
A: The cradle holds the PTAC unit securely, allowing a single operator to deep clean it in the room without heavy lifting. It has built-in features to adjust the height and tilt the unit, directing all waste liquid to a vacuum port for continuous removal by the extractor's vacuum system, preventing spills.
A: Yes, the system is specifically designed for one-person operation. The cradle eliminates the need for heavy lifting and allows an operator to deep clean the unit right in the room, which greatly increases productivity.
