Most Common Tips to Know About AC Service and Repairs

With most parts of the globe experiencing effects of global warming, it is difficult to stay indoors without some form of HVAC. Air Conditioning in Singapore is a necessity to beat the heat and maintenance issues need to be handled swiftly to continue living in comfort. A good AC service agency will help tackle repairs and periodic maintenance, preventing you from having to sweat it out in the sweltering heat of summers. Here is what you need to look for in AC Service and Repairs.

Multi-brand or exclusive service centres

Depending on the make of your air conditioner you need to choose the service provider. If you happen to possess many air conditioners in your home of different brands, then you need to look for a multi-brand service centre. However, if your home is fitted with a single brand of air-conditioners, it would be a good idea to choose a service centre that exclusively services that particular brand. Such an option would give you better quality replacements and you will benefit from the specialist experience of the personnel.

Part replacements 

Air-conditioners like most other appliances would certainly require replacements of parts at the end of duty cycle of the specific parts. Insist on having only OEM replacements. While it may be priced slightly more than other parts, it is worth the difference. An original spare will perform better, offer durability, and will work in perfect harmony with other parts, preventing unwanted replacement of other spares. You need to make your preferences known in this regard categorically, despite the temptations of cheaply priced spares that offer better margins to unscrupulous service centres.

Maintenance Contracts

A maintenance contract is a good idea. It offers you periodic and preventive maintenance and depending on the nature of the contract you can also benefit from reduced prices for unscheduled repairs. You need only pay for the spare replacements in some contracts, as the terms will most likely cover repair work for the period of the contract. Choose a contract with foresight and opt for the most suitable one depending on the condition of your air conditioner. If it is a relatively new one, you need not go in for a higher priced contract, whereas, if you possess an air conditioner that is well past its prime, you need to play it safe with a more comprehensive maintenance contract.
