Frequently asked questions
How often should I get my computer professionally cleaned?
Every 12-18 months for most users. More frequently (every 6-12 months) if you have pets, smoke, live in a dusty area, or run your computer heavily.
Will cleaning improve my computer's performance?
Yes. Dust buildup causes overheating, which leads to thermal throttling where your CPU and GPU slow down to prevent damage. Cleaning restores full performance.
Can you clean my laptop without voiding warranty?
We're careful not to break warranty seals on newer laptops. For older laptops out of warranty, we can perform complete internal cleaning.
What's the difference between compressed air and professional cleaning?
Compressed air only removes surface dust. Professional cleaning involves disassembly, reaching all components, and replacing thermal paste for maximum effectiveness.
Will my computer be quieter after cleaning?
Usually yes. Clean fans and heatsinks mean fans don't need to spin as fast to cool components, resulting in quieter operation.
Do you clean iMacs and MacBooks?
Yes. Macs also need cleaning. iMacs and MacBooks require specialized tools and careful handling, which we're equipped to provide.
Can dust really damage my computer?
Absolutely. Dust causes overheating, which shortens component lifespan and can lead to permanent damage, especially to hard drives, graphics cards, and motherboards.
