In the scorching heat and humidity of the Singaporean summers, an AC is a man’s best friend. After a long workday, you can count on your AC to provide much-needed relief and a refreshing environment. But to keep your air conditioner running at peak performance, regular maintenance is integral. Without it, your AC can suffer from reduced cooling, overheating, mold buildup, and costly breakdowns.
At Fixlaa, we offer professional aircon maintenance services designed to maximize efficiency, extend lifespan, and prevent expensive repairs. Our expert technicians follow a structured maintenance checklist designed to inspect and improve the overall health of your air conditioning. We provide quarterly or bi-yearly air conditioner maintenance and upkeep to ensure that your AC operates at full capacity year-round. Here’s what you can expect when you book a routine aircon maintenance service with us:
Air Filter Cleaning
Air filters prevent dust particles in the atmosphere from entering and clogging the air conditioning system. Over time, these filters get covered in dirt, restricting airflow and increasing pressure on the motor. The first and foremost thing that our air conditioning technicians do when conducting routine AC maintenance is to clean out air filters. In the case of reusable filters, we wash them with running water and detergent. Whereas with disposal filters, we replace them.
Inspecting and Cleaning Coils
Dirty condenser and evaporator coils reduce the system’s ability to absorb and dissipate heat, increasing power consumption as your AC has to work extra hard to do its job. To maintain efficiency, we clean the coils to ensure proper insulation in the system. We also apply a protective coating to prevent corrosion, if required.
Checking and Clearing Drain Lines
A clogged drain pipe is a major reason behind mold growth inside the AC system, leading to foul smells and potential health risks. To shrink the possibility of moisture-related troubles, our expert technicians:
- Use specialized tools like a drain snake to unclog blockages in the drain pipe.
- Flush out the drainage with eco-friendly solutions and hot water.
- Clean the condensate pan and any other areas with mold buildup.
- In cases of severe mold spread, we disassemble the AC system to efficiently clean and dry hard-to-reach areas.
Check Refrigerant Levels
A common problem faced by AC owners is reduced cooling, ice buildup, and funny odors due to refrigerant leaks. Ignored refrigerant leaks can be the stepping stone for other problems like moisture in the system, an overheated motor, and overconsumption of electricity. To avoid all of these problems, we make sure that your refrigerant gases are at optimal level and inspect the chamber for any leaks and cracks, providing a replacement if required.
Inspecting Electrical Components
Faulty electrical wiring, damaged AC fins, or an overheating motor can pose serious risks. To ensure safe and efficient operation, our technicians test electrical components, repair them, and lubricate them to ensure the best cooling performance.
Troubleshooting the Thermostat
An optimized thermostat can help you save on electricity bills by adjusting the AC temperature according to the room temperature. Unfortunately, most AC owners don’t know how to program the thermostat to make the most of it. At Fixlaa, our technicians test and reset the thermostat, guide you on program settings, and can also help set up AC timers. They are committed to providing a great cooling experience and are willing to go the extra mile.
Checking ductwork and airflow
Blocked or leaky ducts can significantly reduce cooling performance. During aircon maintenance, we inspect the ducts for leaks, check windows and doors, and correctly position vents to maximize cooling. By sealing any openings in your duct or room, we ensure that the cool air is evenly spread through the room and stays there.
