INDONESIA, RBTVDISWAY.ID - Air conditioners (AC) are a crucial household appliance, especially in tropical countries like Indonesia.
However, AC maintenance is often neglected until the device breaks down.
To avoid more serious damage and save money, it's crucial to know the right time to service your AC.
The Right Time for Service
1. Frequency of Use
One of the main factors to consider is how often you use your AC.
If you use your AC every day for many hours, your AC will need more frequent service than an AC that's rarely used.
As a general rule, ACs that are used intensively should be serviced at least every three to six months.

2. Signs That Your AC Needs Service
Some signs that indicate your AC needs immediate service include:
- AC is not cooling: If you notice that your AC is no longer cooling the room as effectively as before, this could be due to a leaking freon or a weakening compressor.
- Unusual Noises: Noisy or buzzing sounds from the AC unit could indicate a problem with the fan motor or other mechanical components.
- Poor Drainage: If you notice water leaking from the indoor unit, this could be a sign of a clogged drain.
- Unpleasant Odors: A musty or burning odor from the AC indicates possible mold growth or a problem with the electrical wiring.
