Indian summers are brutal on air conditioners. With temperatures regularly crossing 40°C, your AC runs almost continuously. Proper maintenance is not optional — it's essential.
Clean or Replace Filters Every 2-4 Weeks
Dirty filters are the single biggest cause of AC inefficiency. A clogged filter can reduce efficiency by 20-30%. Clean filters during heavy use months.
Set the Right Temperature
The Bureau of Energy Efficiency recommends 24°C as the optimal temperature. Every degree below 24°C increases electricity consumption by 6%. Use sleep mode at night.
Annual Professional Servicing is Essential
Before each summer, have a professional service your AC. This includes coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, drainage inspection and electrical connection testing.
Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear
Maintain at least 2 feet of clearance around the outdoor unit. Remove leaves, dust and debris regularly. Never block the airflow.
Check Refrigerant Levels
Low refrigerant means the AC cannot cool efficiently and will permanently damage the compressor. If cooling is reduced, don't just add gas — find and fix the leak first.
Use a Voltage Stabilizer
Voltage fluctuations are the #1 cause of compressor failure in India. A good stabilizer protects your investment and can add years to your AC's life.
