Regular Aircon Service. What do you need to know?

Written By Alexis Ang
 
 

Most Malaysians in urban cities rely on air conditioners to provide optimal living and working conditions. However, not many people know about the required regular maintenance that comes with using ACs. 

Despite the common belief that aircon needs service only if it breaks, an air conditioner has to be serviced at least two times a year to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness and prevent further problems. 

Regular AC Service ensures: 

  • Lower Electricity Bills

    • When serviced well and regularly, AC units consume less energy and operate at an optimal level. 

  • Improved Performance

    • Experts say that ACs that were not serviced for a year have their efficiency decreased by 5% on average. Regular servicing maintains the quality of your machine performance.

  • Cleaner Air

    • Full service of your aircon includes a thorough cleaning of air filters from dust, mould, bacteria, viruses, and pollutants. As a result, it significantly lowers the chances of health concerns and allergies. 

  • Bad Odour Elimination

    • Accumulated bacteria in an AC unit may result in foul odours. Regular servicing solves this issue by maintaining the machine clear and sanitised. 

  • Longer Life Span of the Machine

    • Regular servicing with a reliable company ensure your machine gets thoroughly checked for all potential problems so they can be immediately fixed, prolonging the life span of your AC. 

  • Cheaper Repair Costs

    • Prevention of problems is cheaper than fixing them. Regular servicing with a trustworthy team ensures your savings in the long term.

  • More environmentally-friendly 

    • Refrigerant leaks from the aircon release harmful greenhouse gases and promote global warming. It also might be dangerous for your health. With regular servicing, you will protect your money, yourself and the environment.

Signs that your AC needs to be serviced:

  • Noise

    • Once you notice any strange sounds from your AC, don’t delay to schedule servicing, as this may be a sign of a variety of machine problems. 

  • Not Cooling/Weak Cooling Performance

    • If the performance of your machine decreases, it is time to consult AC specialists.

  • Shut Downs
        - Reasons might be loose wirings, frozen compressor or dirt accumulation. 

  • Increasing Electricity Bills

    • Malfunctioning aircon operates ineffectively, causing an increase in electricity consumption. 

How often should you service your aircon?

If the AC unit is used every day, it is preferable that you do maintenance of your machine every 4-6 months. Otherwise, you can opt for once in 12 months. This way, you will ensure good quality of your air and prevent costly repairs in the future.
