🧧 Preparing Your Aircon Before Chinese New Year Gatherings

Chinese New Year gatherings often mean a full house, closed doors, festive cooking, and long hours of aircon usage. If your aircon is not properly prepared, it can struggle to keep the home cool, circulate stale air, or even break down during visits.

Here’s how to get your aircon ready before guests arrive.

1. Clean Filters for Better Airflow

Dirty filters restrict airflow and trap dust, which becomes more noticeable when more people are indoors.

Before CNY:

• Remove and wash filters

• Let them dry fully before reinstalling

Clean filters help your aircon cool faster and reduce stuffy air during gatherings.

2. Check for Odours and Moisture

With closed doors and more cooking, musty or damp smells become very obvious.

If you notice:

• A damp smell when turning on the aircon

• Water dripping or gurgling sounds

It may be time for servicing to clear moisture buildup inside the unit.

3. Ensure Even Cooling in Living Areas

Living rooms often get crowded during visiting hours. If cooling feels uneven, it could be due to blocked airflow or dirty internal components.

Good airflow ensures:

• Comfortable temperatures for guests

• No hot spots near seating areas

4. Avoid Overloading the System

Running the aircon at very low temperatures for long hours can overwork the system.

Recommended settings:

• 24–25°C for comfort

• Use fans to help circulate cool air

This keeps guests comfortable without stressing the aircon.

5. Schedule Servicing Before the Festive Rush

Technicians are busiest closer to CNY. Servicing early helps avoid last-minute breakdowns.

A standard service checks:

• Filters and coils

• Drainage system

• Gas pressure

• Overall cooling performance
