Pre-Season Checklist — March/April (Do Before Summer)
✅ Before Switching On for Summer
- Clean or replace air filter — wash, dry 1 hour, reinstall
- Inspect outdoor unit — clear cotton seed fluff, leaves, winter debris
- Check outdoor unit clearance — 30cm sides, 60cm front
- Test run before peak heat — cool room within 10 minutes confirms all okay
- Listen for new sounds — grinding, buzzing not there last season
- Check drain pipe — pour water in tray, confirm free flow outside
- Fresh batteries in remote
- Book professional service — chemical wash, gas check, capacitor test
Monthly During Season — You Can Do This Yourself
✅ Every 30 Days
- Remove and wash air filter — 10 minutes, costs nothing
- Wipe indoor unit front panel and louvres
- Check outdoor unit — clear any new debris
- Confirm drain pipe not blocked
- Listen for any new sounds
- Check electricity bill — sudden spike may indicate gas loss
Operating Best Practices for Samastipur
Practice 01
Set 24°C — Not 18°C
Every degree below 24°C adds 6% electricity with minimal extra comfort. At 18°C in 44°C Samastipur summer the compressor NEVER cycles off — 100% continuous running. Start at 26°C, adjust to 24°C — compressor cycles properly, bill stays manageable.
Practice 02
Keep Room Sealed
A 5cm door gap loses 25–35% cooling efficiency. AC now tries to cool the adjacent room too — compressor works harder, bill goes up. Close door and all windows when AC is running.
Practice 03
Ceiling Fan + AC = Big Savings
Moving air feels cooler at the same temperature — you can be comfortable at 26°C instead of 23°C. That 3°C difference = 18% lower AC electricity. Ceiling fan uses 70W — far less than the AC saving. ₹400–₹600/month savings in Samastipur summer.
Practice 04
Wait After Power Cuts
Samastipur has multiple daily power cuts. After restoration, wait 3–5 minutes before switching AC on. Compressor has high-pressure refrigerant when it stops — immediate restart stresses capacitor and compressor. Modern inverter ACs have built-in delay; older ones don't.
Warning Signs — Act Immediately

Har 30 din mein. Agar construction nearby ya kachchi road hai toh 15–20 din mein. Dirty filter freezing cause karta hai aur electricity waste karta hai.
