MacBook cooling system cleaning and maintenance

Dusty fan and heatsink of a MacBook

Is your MacBook…

  • running loud?
  • getting hot?
  • slowing down?
  • freezing or shutting down on its own?

These symptoms may mean it’s been a long time since its cooling system was cleaned and serviced.

While working, a laptop acts like a vacuum cleaner — it draws air in from below, pulling dust and dirt inside, where it settles on the cooling system. The build-up hurts the computer’s performance, and ignoring the symptoms is often the cause of serious (and expensive) faults on the logic board.

That’s why regular cleaning matters in every MacBook — at least once a year!

Cooling system cleaning and maintenance at iHelp in Kraków means cleaning the heatsinks and fans and replacing the thermal paste in your MacBook, using high-quality tools only.
