🎉 Preparing Your Aircon Units for Year-End Festive Gatherings

The year-end period is when Singapore homes get busier. Family visits, Christmas celebrations, New Year countdowns, and house gatherings mean more people in the house, warmer temperatures and higher demand on your aircon.

The last thing you want is an aircon that is not cold, leaking, or noisy when your guests arrive. Here is how to prepare your unit properly before the festive season.

1. Clean Your Filters Before Guests Arrive

With more people in the home, your aircon has to work harder. Dusty filters block airflow and make the room warm faster.

Why this step helps:

• Improves cooling

• Reduces electricity usage

• Prevents musty smells

• Keeps airflow strong

Clean your filters at least once every 2 to 3 weeks.

2. Use Fan Mode to Dry the Coil (Prevent Musty Smells)

Running the aircon on Fan Mode for 20 minutes helps remove moisture inside the coil.

This is important because moisture causes:

• Musty odours

• Mould growth

• Restricted airflow

Drying the coil keeps your home smelling fresh when guests come.

3. Check for Leaks Early

A water leak during a family gathering is frustrating and messy. Leaks usually come from:

• Clogged drain pipes

• Dirty coils

• Frozen evaporator

• Poor air flow

If you see even slight dripping, get it fixed before the event.

4. Make Sure Airflow Is Strong Enough

With more people in the room, the temperature rises quicker. Weak airflow means your aircon will struggle.

Check for:

• Filters full of dust

• Blower fan with dirt

• Frozen coil

• Blocked vents

A quick general servicing can restore proper airflow.

5. Ensure You Are Using the Right Temperature

For gatherings, the ideal setting is usually: 23 to 25 degrees Celsius with Medium or High fan speed.

This keeps the room cool without overstraining the system.

6. Plan Airflow Direction

If you expect many guests in one area, point the airflow so it circulates across the room.

Tips:

✓ Angle the louvres upward for better cooling

✓ Avoid directing cold air straight at food or elderly guests

✓ Keep doors and windows closed during gatherings

7. Consider Servicing Before Your Festive Event

A quick servicing ensures:

• Clean filters and coils

• Strong airflow

• No water leaks

• Correct gas pressure

• Stable cooling performance

Your aircon will handle long hours of usage without failing.
