Air conditioners are a big investment, and like any machine, they last longer and run cheaper when maintained on a regular schedule. In Kolkata, where heat, humidity, and dust are all working against your AC, regular servicing is not optional—it is what keeps your unit cooling efficiently year after year.

So how often should you actually service your AC? Here is a complete, practical guide:

Why Regular AC Servicing Matters

Skipping servicing might save a little money today, but it costs more later.

  • Lower electricity bills: Clean coils and filters let the AC cool faster, using less power.
  • Fewer breakdowns: Most major faults—gas leaks, frozen coils, compressor strain—start as small, ignored issues.
  • Longer lifespan: A well-maintained AC can comfortably last 10 to 15 years instead of failing early.

    • The Ideal Servicing Schedule

    For most homes in Kolkata, the rule is simple:

  • General wet servicing twice a year: Once just before summer (around February to March) and once after the monsoon (around September to October).
  • Filter cleaning every 15 days: A quick DIY rinse during the peak summer months when the AC runs daily.
  • Heavy or commercial use: Shops, offices, and AC units that run more than 8 hours a day should be serviced every 3 to 4 months.

    • Signs Your AC Needs Servicing Right Now

    Do not wait for the calendar if you notice any of these:

  • Weak cooling or the room taking much longer to cool than before.
  • Musty or sour smells when the AC is running.
  • Water dripping from the indoor unit.
  • Higher electricity bills with no change in usage.
  • Unusual noises or ice forming on the copper pipes.
