When to service a new aircon in Singapore

New does not mean maintenance free. Dust load, usage pattern, and room conditions start affecting performance from the first period of use.

A simple servicing plan helps you keep airflow and drainage stable before a comfort complaint becomes a repair discussion.

The best starting point depends on how often the unit runs, where it is installed, and how sensitive your household is to smell, leaks, or airflow drop.

Homes with heavier use or more dust exposure usually need a tighter maintenance rhythm than occasional use rooms.

Do not wait for a major cooling failure before the first service. Weak airflow, musty smell, or early dripping are signs to act earlier.

These signs do not always mean a part fault. They often mean the unit needs a proper check before the pattern gets worse.

A clear service history helps when a fault appears and you need to discuss warranty or scope. It also helps separate maintenance issues from actual parts failure.

If a new unit performs badly from the start, treat it as a setup or diagnosis issue, not a normal maintenance delay question.

Set a servicing plan based on actual use, not a generic reminder. Review it if your room usage changes.

If you already notice a symptom pattern, share that first so the next visit solves the right problem and not just a routine checklist item.
