Many people who use AC are not aware of when it should be serviced. If the AC is not serviced at the right time, the compressor may get stressed and may even get damaged due to overheating. AC service also depends on the area where you are living. If you live in a place where there is a lot of dust, then the timing of servicing the AC may be affected.
When should AC service be done?
Generally, AC should be serviced at least twice in a year. Generally split AC requires more service. By keeping the indoor and outdoor units of the split AC properly cleaned, the cooling of the AC remains proper and the compressor is also not stressed. If you have purchased a new AC, then it should be serviced only after using it for at least 3 to 4 months.
compressor will overheat
You should get your AC serviced before summer starts. AC is not used throughout the winter nor does it require service. However, it is very important to get the AC serviced before using it again. During service, dust and dirt accumulated in both indoor and outdoor units of AC will have to be removed. Due to lack of proper service, it affects the cooling coils installed in indoor and outdoor units. Due to the air not passing properly, the compressor gets overheated and the problem of cooling persists.
Need for servicing in three months
Even more important than AC service is that you should clean the filter of the indoor unit every 15 to 20 days. ACs generally require service after operating for 600 to 700 hours. If you run the AC even for 7 to 8 hours a day, then you will have to get the AC serviced after 80 to 90 days. If AC is not serviced at the right time, there is a problem of cooling and electricity consumption also increases.
