Does routine maintenance replace refrigerant recharge?

Inspection catches low charge early — but if there is a leak, fix it first then recharge. Recharging without fixing a leak wastes money.

What is the difference between basic and full maintenance?

Basic: filters + outdoor clean. Full: plus refrigerant check, evaporator clean, and written report.

Do maintenance contracts include spare parts?

Simple filters and cleaning are included — items like compressors or control boards are discounted for subscribers.

Routine AC Maintenance in Kuwait

Search intent: Routine AC maintenance schedule suited to Kuwait climate — what inspections include and when

الإجابة المباشرة

In Kuwait, AC maintenance every 3–4 months is recommended (monthly in summer for heavy use). The schedule covers filter cleaning, refrigerant pressure, condenser wash, drain check, and compressor testing.

Why Routine Maintenance Is Essential in Kuwait

Kuwait's fine dust clogs AC filters within weeks — not months. A filter 50% blocked raises electricity use 15–20% and weakens cooling. The compressor runs longer for the same comfort, shortening life from 12 years to 6–8. Preventive maintenance costs 3–5 times less than a burned-out compressor repair.
