How Often Should an AC Be Serviced? Normal Wash vs Jet Pump Service
Discover the ideal service interval for split and window ACs to save up to 25% on electricity bills and prevent untimely compressor burnouts.
Regular maintenance is the single most important factor determining whether an air conditioner lasts 5 years or 15 years.
Recommended Service Frequency:
- Pre-Season Full Jet Service (March / April): Mandatory before peak summer. Removes 12 months of accumulated dust deep within the coil fins.
- Mid-Season Filter & Drain Clean (July / August): During the humid monsoon, bacteria and mold breed rapidly inside the drain pan, causing water overflow and musty odors.
- Post-Season Dry Run Check (October / November): Cleaning before winter shutdown prevents dust from cementing onto wet coils.
Normal Service vs. Jet Pump Wash:
- Normal Service: Uses basic brushes and light water spray. Cleans superficial dust only.
- Jet Pump Deep Service: Uses high-pressure pressurized water with a specialized indoor collection shroud. Flushes out compacted dirt from the deep inner layers of the evaporator without splashing a single drop on your walls.
