Air-conditioning maintenance firms are seeing a rise in demand as higher temperatures push households, offices and businesses to rely more heavily on cooling systems.

Workshops specialising in air-conditioner cleaning, servicing and repairs have become more active on social media in recent days, offering cut-price deals starting at BD4 for a single unit. Some are advertising packages covering five air-conditioners for BD20.

The offers often include a full inspection, washing, sanitising and chemical cleaning of internal and external parts, as well as the removal of dust, bacteria and odours. Firms say the work helps improve indoor air quality, raise cooling efficiency and extend the life of the unit.

Technicians have urged regular maintenance during the summer months to keep air-conditioners working well, cut the risk of sudden faults and reduce electricity use.

Recommended checks include cleaning filters, internal and external fans, testing refrigerant levels, checking electrical connections and examining the compressor. Engineers also advise dealing early with faults that could weaken performance or drive up power bills.

Some households may choose to replace older air-conditioners with newer, more energy-efficient models, particularly as cooling technology improves and newer units offer better output with lower power use.

Shops selling spare parts and cooling-system supplies are also reporting stronger trade, as more customers replace worn or damaged parts after long periods of use.

Bookings for maintenance are also rising, prompting companies in the sector to ready extra teams to meet summer demand.

Regular air-conditioner servicing is seen as one of the main steps households and businesses can take during the hot season, helping to maintain cooling, protect indoor air quality and keep electricity use under control.
