I have an air con unit that's 5 yrs old and had it cleaned 3 months ago. A month after cleaning it's still not cold at all. Lowest temp and full air blast yet I still have to turn on the fan yet I'm still sweating.

What seems to be the problem I also dunno
Should I get a new unit or have the compressor repaired? It's only one hp, and my room is small. Will doing a chemical cleaning make any difference

how often do you guys clean/service ur room aircon? i got mine cleaned like 5 months ago and now its not that cold anymore. full blast everynight and yes i cleaned the net from the unit but doesnt help

do you guys get someone to clean it every 6 months? room unit.

usage per day usually 15 hrs ?

last checked its not gas leakage and same issue also. before my last cleaning, the ac is not cold enough even on full blast, 5 months after cleaning, same issue again.

to my knowledge if gas leakage it will only blow hot air? is it too often if clean every 6 months? i think so...

Hi, For those who as wall unit in their bedroom and uses it every night. how often do you call for cleaning services in a year? I have to do it every 3-4 months.

its a housing area where its away from any big main roads and there's not that many cars that passes by. Only one unit out of 5 others in my house needs servicing that frequently and I'm using an inverter unit.

after 5 months, the room will no longer be cold despite it being on low temp and full blast

Paying for cleaning service that frequently is rather expensive so Im still trying to find out the cause of it and I am contemplating buying a new non inverter unit all together. serving that unit 3-4 times a year for 2 years is enough to buy a new unit d for 1 HP

its a small room and i have the air con unit blowing straight at my desk yet i'm still sweating under it
and yes I do clean the indoor filter regularly 3-4 weeks once but it doesn't solve my problem. It has been like this for more than year and I service my aircon every 4-5 months when i can't stand it anymore cuz its really really hot.

It will be cold for a month or so after cleaning with only low speed required. after a month i'll have to turn up the fan speed gradually .

you recon that the unit is faulty? should i just go ahead and buy a new one.

I had 2 different contractors to do the cleaning for me for 2 years and all said that there's nothing wrong with the unit and no need to top up the gas. They just mentioned that its dirty and its normal to clean every 3-4 months maybe just to charge me more for cleaning frequently.
