Home aircon service intervals in Singapore: how to set a practical cadence

A fixed interval for every household can lead to over-servicing for some and delayed escalation for others. Better cadence comes from usage pattern and recurrence history.

Primary question

How often should I service my home aircon in Singapore without over-servicing?

Start with usage profile

Service cadence should reflect runtime intensity and occupancy pattern, not only unit age.

  • High daily runtime and high occupancy usually need tighter cadence
  • Lower-use rooms may need lighter routine checks
  • Multi-split systems should be tracked by zone behavior, not blanket frequency

Use recurrence to adjust interval

If issues recur shortly after service, interval alone is probably not the problem. The fault path may be unresolved.

If performance remains stable across months, cadence may be sufficient without increasing intensity.

Build one annual decision review

At least once per year, review incident count, repeat issues, and service outcomes before locking next-year cadence.

This keeps maintenance strategy grounded in evidence rather than habits.
