Some companies will tell you four servicings a year, every year, no matter what. Others say once a year is fine. The truth sits in the middle, and it depends on how you use your aircon.
A simple rule of thumb
- Bedroom aircon on every night: every 3 to 4 months.
- Living room aircon used most days: every 3 to 4 months.
- Used occasionally (guest room, weekends only): every 6 months.
- Home with pets, renovation dust or a busy road outside: lean towards more often.
Why Singapore aircons get dirty faster
Humidity is the big one. Moisture inside the unit plus dust makes the perfect conditions for mould and sludge. Many of us also run the aircon for long hours, especially at night.
Signs you shouldn’t wait for the schedule
- A musty or sour smell when you switch it on
- Weak airflow or air that never gets cold
- Water dripping from the indoor unit
- Black spots on the vents or flaps
Any of these, and it’s time, whatever the calendar says.
Where BeeChem Wash™ fits in
Our BeeChem Wash™ is a deeper clean than general servicing, so many customers find three times a year is enough to keep things running well. It’s from $75 for one unit and from $165 for five or more.
What you can do between visits
- Rinse the filters every 2 to 4 weeks.
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of clutter.
- Run fan mode for a few minutes after cooling to help the inside dry out.
