How often should you service your AC in Vadodara?

Our recommendation

• Homes: twice a year, once in February or March before summer and once in October after the monsoon.
• Homes near main roads or construction: every 3 to 4 months, because filters clog faster.
• Shops, offices and clinics running ACs all day: every 3 months, ideally on an AMC.
• Clean the filters yourself every 2 weeks in summer.

Signs your AC needs a service now

• It takes longer to cool the room than it used to
• Your electricity bill has gone up
• A musty smell when it starts
• Water dripping from the indoor unit
• More noise than usual

Why regular servicing pays off

A clean AC cools faster and uses less power. Servicing also catches small problems early, like a weak capacitor or a slow gas leak, before they turn into a compressor failure in the middle of May.

If you have several ACs or run a business, an annual maintenance contract handles the schedule for you.
