Why you should service your air con at least once a year
Other than to ensure consistent, fresh cool air in your home throughout the year, servicing your air con system regularly helps to prolong the lifespan of your air con and increase its efficiency as well. Bacteria can build up in your air con, and servicing helps to improve your air quality – which in turn improves your respiratory health.
Plus, waiting till problems arise before addressing them can also be more costly.
How often you service your air con depends on frequency of usage and climate as well. But in hot and humid Singapore, we’re recommended to service our air con units once every three months if we’re frequent users. But if you’re the kind of person who only uses your air con occasionally, at least once a year should be good enough.
How to tell if your air con is not working properly
Keep an eye out for these telltale signs and quickly call a serviceman before it gets worse:
- Your air con is leaking water
- Airflow from your air con is restricted and/or air expelled is not cold
- Your air con smells musty
Types of air conditioning services
General servicing is the most common service. It’ll rid your air con of dust that has accumulated by cleaning it inside out. Your technician will apply grease lubricant if necessary, and also make sure that there aren’t any weird noises or loose wires. Chemical servicing is similar, the only difference being that everything is dismantled and washed with a chemical solution.
You’re recommended to do chemical servicing at least twice a year.
You’ll typically only engage overhaul services and gas top-ups to repair your malfunctioning air con. Your air con will be dismantled and checked thoroughly, and parts that are not working will be repaired or replaced. If your unit is leaking or not producing cold air, the specialist might recommend a gas top-up.
