How Important Is Your Aircon Unit?

During the warmer months in Singapore, people depend on the air conditioner to keep them cool while working from home or in the office. One of life's great pleasures is having air conditioning, particularly on hot and humid days. You may use your air conditioning unit for years without having to maintain it on a regular basis (not a good idea, but that’s how some people do it!). However, anything may go wrong with your air conditioner when you need it the most. Then you’ll wish you’d serviced it sooner.

“Do air conditioners require servicing?” is a question that many Singaporeans have asked us. Absolutely! Normal aircon maintenance is required to ensure that your air conditioner lasts as long as possible. You use it every day…you need to keep it operating properly. The consequences of failing to service your equipment might be disastrous. Continue reading to discover about the dangers of ignoring your aircon maintenance.

What if I Fail to Service My Aircon?

When our customers ask what happens if they don't get their air conditioners serviced on a regular basis, the first thing they need to know is that their electricity costs will rise. A regularly-serviced aircon system will keep your home cooler, run more efficiently, and conserve electricity use. If the air conditioner isn't maintained properly, it will have to struggle and run more frequently to get the same cooling effects.

There might be several reasons for this, and discovering the issue usually requires an air conditioning technician to find the problem. If you notice a rise in your monthly electricity expenses and have used your air conditioning system, you probably need some repairs or service. Even a basic cleaning will help your system run more efficiently.

Dirty Aircon = Poor Indoor Air Quality

Your air conditioner is responsible for keeping your home cool. It doesn’t only cool, though. Your aircon captures and eliminates pollutants and smells, ensuring that the oxygen you and your family breathe is safe and clean. If someone in your family suffers from respiratory issues like asthma, airborne allergic reactions (pollen or dust), or other conditions that are brought on by filthy air, you need to service your aircon regularly because indoor air quality is extremely important.

How Often Should I Service My Aircon?

Many Singaporeans question how often they should get their equipment serviced once they see the downside of not doing so. Is it crucial to get your system serviced several times a year? You should be cleaning it every 4-6 weeks, and doing a proper servicing every quarter.

We recommend arranging servicing on a regular basis. This guarantees that you have working units to fight the heat as well as avoiding further damage from an underperforming unit. We recommend regular and consistent servicing and inspections for individuals who use their air conditioner on a daily basis.

This servicing routine will help you keep your air conditioner running all year and identify any issues that arise during the warm months.

Air conditioning units may last many years, depending on how often they are used and how much maintenance they receive. If you disregard routine maintenance, your air conditioners lifespan might be significantly reduced. Make an appointment with the proper specialists at MHI Aircon in Singapore to come out to your place and maintain the health and functionality of your system.

When Should You Fix or Upgrade Your Aircon?

Repairing or replacing your air conditioner does not have to be a difficult option. Homeowners are naturally loyal to their cooling equipment as these have been making homes comfortable for so much.

Regrettably, that connection can complicate the procedure and make it harder to determine whether it's time to upgrade your system. Check out our thoughts below to see what to look for when considering whether to replace or repair your air conditioning unit.

Life expectancy

In the best-case scenario, air conditioners are only meant to last 10-15 years. We realize why you would be loyal to a system that has been in your family for 10 or more years, but we strongly advise you to rethink. As time passes, this system will only get more costly and inefficient.

Performance

Season after season, air conditioning units undergo degradation in Singapore due to the extreme heat and humidity here. That is simply a fact. Not just that, but due to the constant development of new technologies, newer air conditioner models are constantly more efficient. It's time for a replacement if you want to keep ahead of the curve and work with a high-efficiency air conditioner. We have the best residential air conditioners for sale.

Effectiveness

The purpose of an air conditioning system is to maintain your HDB unit, condo apartment or house comfortably in the Singapore weather. If you notice that your system isn't keeping your house as pleasant as it once was, it's time to update it. Repairs can, but do not always, restore your aircon equipment to full-functionality, therefore it may be time to talk to us about replacing it. You’ll find there’s a greater savings in the long run compared with constantly servicing and repairing a malfunctioning unit.

Repairs are required on a regular basis

Repairs are inconvenient and require you to take time out of your busy schedule, hence why it should only occur very rarely. If you're having repair issues every few months, there's something seriously wrong with your air conditioner. A new aircon system might be the answer to your recurrent servicing problems.

Charges

Here is another basic rule of thumb: If the cost of repairing your air conditioner is more than half the cost of replacing it, we strongly advise you to change it. In the long term, replacements will save the most money and will be far more worthwhile than maintenance.
