AC Service: As the summer season arrives, fans often prove insufficient, and the need for air conditioners increases in every household. As temperatures rise, people tend to switch on their ACs without a second thought; however, regular servicing is crucial for optimal cooling and efficient performance. Typically, people call company-certified technicians for this task—a service that can cost anywhere from ₹2,000 to ₹3,000—and this expense must be incurred every year. 

But did you know that with a little know-how and a few essential supplies, you can perform basic AC servicing right at home? This not only saves you a significant amount of money but also restores your AC's cooling power to its original efficiency. Let us show you exactly what you need to service your AC at home.

**How ​​to Service Your AC at Home**
To service your AC at home, you will need a water spray pump and an AC coil cleaner liquid (foam coil cleaner). With the help of these two items, you can easily clean the cooling coils and the outdoor unit, which improves airflow and helps reduce your electricity bill.

**Step-by-Step Guide to Home AC Servicing**
**Turn Off the Power:** First, switch off the main power supply to the AC and unplug the unit.

**Clean the Filters:** Open the AC's front panel and remove the air filters. Dust them off using a brush, or wash them thoroughly with water and let them dry.

**Clean the Cooling Coils:** Gently remove any accumulated dust from the coils using a dry brush or a soft cloth.

**Use a Pressure Spray:** If there is heavy dirt buildup, rinse the coils using a low-pressure water hose or a spray pump.

**Dry Everything Thoroughly:** Reassemble all the parts only after they have dried completely, and then switch the AC back on.

**Outdoor Unit:** If you have a split AC system, use the spray pump to clean the outdoor unit in the same manner.
