Staying cool in Singapore’s hot weather depends a lot on a well-functioning aircon. But just like any machine, your aircon needs regular care to run smoothly. So, how do you know when it’s time for a service? Let’s go through the common signs to watch for.
1. Not Cooling Well
To begin with, if your aircon isn’t cooling like it used to, something may be wrong. It could be low gas, dirty filters, or a faulty part. In any case, poor cooling is a big sign that a service is due.
2. Strange Noises
Next, listen carefully. If you hear strange sounds like rattling, buzzing, or grinding, your unit may have loose or broken parts. Early servicing can stop small problems from becoming big repairs.
3. Bad Smells
Furthermore, a bad smell coming from your aircon might mean mould or bacteria is growing inside. This not only affects air quality but can also affect your health. A good cleaning will solve this.
4. Leaking Water
In addition, water leaks around your aircon are never normal. This could be due to a clogged pipe or cooling issue. It’s best to have a technician check it before it causes water damage.
5. Higher Bills
Another clear sign is when your power bill goes up even though your usage hasn’t changed. An overworked aircon uses more energy. Regular servicing keeps it running efficiently and saves money.
6. Weak Airflow
Also, if the air from your aircon feels weak, airflow could be blocked. Dirty fans or filters might be the reason. A service will restore strong airflow and better cooling.
7. Long Time Since Last Service
Lastly, if you can’t remember when your aircon was last serviced, it’s likely overdue. In Singapore, it’s recommended to service your aircon every 3 to 6 months—especially if you use it daily.
To sum it up, regular servicing keeps your aircon clean, efficient, and long-lasting. Most importantly, it keeps your home comfortable.
