Maintenance Checklist — AC Repair
- ✓ Clean or replace the air filter every month during summer (May–September)

- ✓ Have refrigerant gas pressure checked annually — low gas means higher electricity bills
- ✓ Clean indoor coils with a soft brush or coil cleaner spray annually
- ✓ Inspect the drainage pipe for blockage before every monsoon season

Frequently Asked Questions

AC repair in Delhi starts from ₹299 for basic servicing. Gas refilling costs ₹1,200–₹2,500 depending on tonnage (1 ton, 1.5 ton, 2 ton). Capacitor replacement is ₹300–₹700. PCB repair costs ₹800–₹2,500. Compressor replacement is the most expensive — ₹4,000–₹10,000 depending on brand and model. Always ask the technician for a written estimate before work begins.
What is included in AC servicing in Delhi?
A standard AC service includes cleaning the air filter, washing the indoor unit coils, cleaning the outdoor unit, checking refrigerant gas pressure, lubricating moving parts, testing thermostat accuracy, and checking all electrical connections. Deep cleaning (jet spray) is charged extra — usually ₹500–₹800 additional.
How long does AC repair take at home in Delhi?
Most common AC repairs take 1–3 hours at home. Gas refilling takes about 45–90 minutes. Filter cleaning and basic service takes 30–60 minutes. PCB repair or compressor issues may require the unit to be taken to the workshop, adding 1–2 days.
Which AC brands do technicians in Delhi repair?
Technicians in our directory repair all major brands including LG, Samsung, Voltas, Daikin, Carrier, Hitachi, Blue Star, Godrej, Panasonic, Lloyd, O General, Whirlpool, and all other brands — both split AC and window AC.
Why is my AC not cooling even after servicing?
If your AC is not cooling after servicing, the most likely cause is low refrigerant gas — this needs to be recharged. Other causes include a dirty condenser coil, a faulty compressor, or a broken capacitor. Ask the technician to check gas pressure with a manifold gauge.
How often should I get my AC serviced in Delhi?
In Delhi, due to high dust levels, AC should be serviced every 3–4 months if used heavily (summer months). At minimum, get it serviced once before summer and once after. Regular servicing improves cooling efficiency by 20–30% and extends compressor life.
Is it worth repairing an old AC or should I buy new?
If the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new AC, buying new is usually better. Compressor replacement on a 7–10 year old AC is generally not recommended. For newer ACs (under 5 years), repair is almost always more economical.
Do technicians provide warranty on AC repair work in Delhi?
Most technicians offer 30–90 day warranty on parts replaced and labour. Gas refilling typically comes with a 30-day guarantee. Always ask for a written receipt mentioning the warranty period before making payment.
Can a technician install a new AC at home in Delhi?
Yes. Most AC repair technicians also do new AC installation. Standard split AC installation costs ₹1,500–₹2,500 and includes mounting the indoor unit, installing the outdoor unit, laying copper pipe, and testing. Additional charges apply for extra pipe length or difficult installations.
What causes AC water leakage inside the room?
Water dripping from the indoor unit is usually caused by a blocked drain pipe, dirty air filter restricting airflow, or ice formation on the coils due to low gas pressure. A technician can clear the drain and fix the root cause within an hour.
