Festive Season AC Care
Keep your air conditioner running smoothly through Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali with simple checks, safety tips, and timely servicing to beat the heat and festive rush.
Why It Matters
Why Your AC Works Harder During Festivals
More guests, cooking, and longer hours mean extra load on your AC this festive season.
More People in the Room
Each guest adds body heat, making the AC work harder to keep the room comfortable.
Cooking and Lamps
Festive cooking, diyas, and candles raise indoor temperature and humidity.
Longer Running Hours
Celebrations often run late, so the AC runs longer than usual.
Post-Monsoon Dust & Smoke
Filters clog with dust and ash from firecrackers, reducing cooling efficiency.
Simple Maintenance
Quick AC Checks You Can Do at Home
Spend a few minutes on these before the festivities to avoid surprises.
Essential Checks
- Clean air filters by washing and drying them completely.
- Run the AC for 30 minutes a few days before the festival.
- Check remote batteries, mode (cool), and temperature (24–26°C).
- Clear airflow around the outdoor unit—no boxes or clothes nearby.
- Inspect the drain pipe for blockages to prevent indoor leaks.
Why These Matter
Dirty filters and blocked airflow reduce cooling power and increase electricity use. Early testing helps catch issues before guests arrive.
Safety First
Festive AC Safety Tips to Follow
- Separate Power Points for decorative lights and AC to avoid overloads.
- Keep Flames Away from indoor units and wiring—diyas and candles can be hazards.
- Avoid Firecrackers near outdoor units and gas pipes; keep balconies clear.
- Use Voltage Stabilisers if your area has fluctuations; switch off AC during power cuts.
- Post-Diwali Filter Cleaning removes smoke and ash buildup.
When to Call
Signs Your AC Needs a Technician
Some problems require professional repair beyond simple cleaning.
Warning
If you notice burning smells or frequent MCB trips, switch off your AC immediately and do not restart until checked by a technician.
- AC runs but does not cool even after filter cleaning.
- Water leaks inside the room from the indoor unit.
- Ice or frost forms on pipes or indoor coils.
- Unusual noises like rattling, grinding, or buzzing.
- Sudden spike in electricity bills without usage change.
Tip
Ice on pipes often means low refrigerant due to leaks that only a trained technician can fix properly.
Plan Ahead
Book AC Service Before the Festive Rush
Scheduling a service a few days before celebrations lets you enjoy without heat worries.
If your AC wasn’t serviced after the monsoon, now is a good time. A clean, well-maintained AC cools faster and uses less electricity.

FAQs
Common Questions About AC Service and Repair
How much does AC service cost?
Service starts from ₹400 and inspection is ₹149. Final cost depends on AC type, condition, and parts needed. Prices are indicative and may change.
My AC is running but not cooling. What should I do?
Clean filters, check mode and temperature, and ensure the outdoor unit is unblocked. If it still doesn’t cool, book a technician as it may be low gas, dirty coils, or electrical issues.
How much does AC gas filling cost?
Gas charging starts from ₹899. A technician will check for leaks before refilling, as refrigerant leaks only occur if there is a fault.
Is it worth servicing my AC in October?
Yes, especially after the monsoon. Dust and moisture accumulate, and many cities remain warm, so servicing before the festive season keeps cooling effective.
How quickly can a technician visit for AC service near me?
We aim to arrange visits within about an hour where possible. Timing varies by location and availability, so booking ahead of the festival is recommended.
