## Overview

A quarterly AC service package in India costs ₹1,500–₹3,500 per year for a single split AC in 2026 — 4 visits at pre-summer, mid-summer, post-monsoon, and pre-winter. Individual services booked separately total ₹1,600–₹2,800 per year but often lack the mid-cycle checks that catch issues early. A well-serviced AC lasts 12–15 years; a poorly serviced one lasts 8–10 years, so the ₹500 extra on a package returns ₹15,000+ in extended AC life.

## Why quarterly beats yearly service

A single yearly service in March catches obvious issues but misses the mid-summer coil dust build-up (drops cooling 15% by July) and the post-monsoon fungus growth in the drain pan (kicks off odour by October). Quarterly service catches all four, extending AC life by 3–5 years.

Solve24 AC technicians often offer their own quarterly packages via WhatsApp at 15–25% below the sum of four individual services.

## What each of the 4 visits covers

The four visits are scheduled at specific times for specific reasons — not random calendar dates.

- March visit — full pre-summer service, filter + coil + gas pressure test
- June visit — mid-summer check, coil dust wash, drain flush
- October visit — post-monsoon check, drain fungus clean, PCB moisture check
- January visit — pre-winter storage prep, filter clean, cover fit
- Any issue between visits — free diagnostic call, fix at parts + labour

## How proper service extends AC life

A dirty coil, unbalanced fan, or old capacitor makes the compressor work harder. Compressor failure is the top cause of premature AC death.

- Clean coil — compressor runs 15% cooler, extends life 2–3 years
- Balanced fan — reduces vibration, extends bearing life 1–2 years
- Fresh capacitor — reduces start-up strain on compressor
- Clean drain — no fungus growth, no odour, no PCB moisture damage
- Total: 3–5 extra years of AC life on quarterly-serviced units

## Frequently asked

### How much does a quarterly AC service package cost in India 2026?

₹1,500–₹2,500 per year for one split AC. ₹2,800–₹4,500 for two ACs. Window AC package is ₹1,200–₹2,000. Gas top-up if needed is ₹1,500 extra (or included in premium packages).

### Is quarterly service really necessary?

Yes if you want maximum AC life. Yearly service catches obvious issues but misses mid-summer coil dust and post-monsoon drain fungus. Quarterly service extends AC life 3–5 years — worth the extra ₹500 per year.

### When are the 4 visits scheduled?

March (pre-summer), June (mid-summer), October (post-monsoon), January (pre-winter storage). Locked in at booking; you get WhatsApp reminders before each visit.

### Is chemical wash included in the package?

Usually not — chemical wash is a yearly add-on at ₹900–₹1,500. Some premium packages include it. Read what is covered before booking.

### What if my AC breaks between visits?

Most Solve24 packages include free diagnostic visit; you pay only for parts + labour on the actual fix. Emergency call-outs are typically free within the package, not billed separately.
