## Overview

A monthly home maintenance AMC in India costs ₹800–₹3,500 per month depending on inclusions. Basic (one visit per quarter, minor fixes included) ₹800–₹1,500. Full (monthly plumber + quarterly electrician + AC service twice yearly) ₹2,000–₹3,500. For most 2BHK families, pay-as-you-go on Solve24 (average ₹500–₹1,200 per issue, 4–8 issues per year) works out cheaper than an AMC. This guide breaks down when AMC is actually worth it.

## The AMC value question — do the maths

A typical 2BHK Indian home has 4–8 plumbing / electrical issues per year averaging ₹500–₹1,200 each. Total: ₹4,000–₹8,000 per year in reactive fixes. AMC packages price at ₹10,000–₹30,000 per year. So AMC only pays off if you have 10+ issues per year (large or old home) or you value convenience.

A middle path: pay-as-you-go on Solve24 for issues + book preventive checks (₹500–₹1,000 each) 2–3 times a year for plumbing, electrical, AC.
