How often should you service your Midea aircon?

As a general rule of thumb, manufacturers often suggest owners service their aircon at least once a year. In the case of Midea aircon, it is best to service it every three months and chemical wash once a year.

The scope of work for general aircon servicing usually includes:

• Pre-service inspections: controller settings, airflow, electrical point check, etc
• Indoor unit cleaning and service: washing, vacuuming, and cleaning of filters, front panel, indoor evaporator coil, check of fan bearing etc
• Condenser service: check of refrigerant level and visual inspection
• Report findings and recommendations

For your safety and convenience, manufacturers always recommend aircon service to be performed by licensed technicians. Do not attempt to service it without sufficient knowledge and experience.

Also, you are probably thinking about why should you service it.

Every year, we see so many households need to spend a hefty repair cost since their aircon is not serviced regularly, as suggested by Midea. That is why it is better to follow the manufacturer’s advice and service it at least once a year to protect your Midea aircon from causing a leak.
