We Tested Viper’s Coil Cleaner Range — Here’s the Best Bang for Your Buck

If your aircon’s been wheezing louder than your mate after a jog, chances are your coils are clogged. Don’t stress — it’s more common than you think. Dirty coils make your aircon work overtime, driving up your power bill and wearing out the system faster. But here's the kicker: with the right coil cleaner, your aircon could be running like new in under an hour. That’s where Viper Coil Cleaners come in.

Today, we're diving into the Viper range to see which product is best for your home, your needs, and your budget — all without the hard sell. Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or just trying to keep the house cool for summer, this guide will help you cut through the foam (literally).

Why Coil Cleaning Matters More Than You Think

It’s easy to forget about your aircon — until it starts blowing warm air during a heatwave or smelling like damp socks. Here’s why a proper clean matters:

• Improves airflow and system efficiency

• Lowers energy bills by reducing strain on your unit

• Extends the life of your HVAC system

• Prevents mould and bacteria from circulating through your home

And in Aussie weather, between the dust, humidity, and beachside salt air? You really can’t afford to skip regular maintenance.
