Malaysia Aircond Servicing Calendar
A month-by-month aircond calendar for KL & Selangor: pre-haze wash, monsoon leaks, festive slots — with published prices from RM 99.
How often to service tells you the interval. This page puts those visits on a Malaysian wall calendar — haze, the wet months, and the two weeks when nobody can get a same-day slot because the whole street is hosting.
Month-by-month for KL & Selangor
| Months | What the climate does | What to book |
|---|---|---|
| Jan–Feb | Festive indoor gatherings; leftover December wet | If you skipped December, wash now — do not wait until after CNY if the hall already smells |
| Mar–Apr | Inter-monsoon storms, high indoor humidity | Drain-focused basic service if last year’s leak returned |
| May–Jun | Hot, long run hours after school / office days | Good window for the mid-year basic service |
| Jul–early Aug | Last clean weeks before typical haze | Annual chemical wash so the coil is clean entering haze |
| Aug–Oct | Haze risk; filters grey faster | Rinse filters every 1–2 weeks; see the post-haze guide |
| Nov–Dec | Northeast monsoon wet; festive booking crush | Drain check; book December slots early |
Haze months are typical, not a guarantee. Construction dust on a Cheras corridor fouls a coil in April too.
Pair the calendar with the interval
- Light bedroom use — basic about every 6 months, wash about every 12.
- Hall / office 8+ hours — basic every 3–4 months, wash every 6–8 if the air is dirty.
- The 12-point checklist is what the technician actually ticks on those visits.
AMC Basic from RM 299 (2 basic + 1 wash) and AMC Standard from RM 499 (2 basic + 2 washes + free emergency check) are per wall-mounted 1.0–1.5 HP unit. Multi-unit discounts: 5% at 5+ units, 10% at 10+.

Frequently asked questions
When should I service my aircond in Malaysia?
Use both an interval and a calendar. Basic service every 3–6 months (from RM 99) and a chemical wash every 6–12 months (from RM 120). On the calendar: wash before haze (July–August), check drains in the wet months, and book early before Chinese New Year and Hari Raya peaks.
Which month is best for a chemical wash?
July or early August, so the coil enters typical haze months clean. If you missed that window, wash after the haze clears rather than running a sooty coil until December.
Why do airconds leak more in the rainy season?
Indoor humidity stays high, so the drain pan works harder. Algae and film block the pipe. A basic-service drain flush (from RM 99) or a wash (from RM 120) is the published fix — not perfume.
Should I service before festive gatherings?
Yes if the hall unit will run all day for guests. Book one to two weeks before Chinese New Year, Hari Raya or Deepavali. Same-day slots still exist but routes fill.
Does an AMC replace the calendar?
An AMC Basic plan from RM 299 per wall-mounted 1.0–1.5 HP unit per year already includes 2 basic services and 1 chemical wash, with WhatsApp reminders. You stop tracking months; we do not invent extra “festive visits.”
How is this different from “how often to service”?
That guide is interval-by-usage (light / moderate / heavy). This one maps those visits onto Malaysian months — haze, monsoon, school holidays, festive peaks.
Can I skip a year if I barely use one bedroom?
A guest room that sits off for months still grows film in the pan. Run it monthly in the wet season and keep it on the same annual wash as the rest of the house.
Do commercial units follow the same calendar?
Shops and offices that run 8–16 hours need the heavier interval (basic every 3 months, wash every 3–6). The month flags — pre-haze, wet-season drains — still apply. Cassette work is quoted on site.
What if I only remember in December?
Book the wash anyway. December is wet and festive; slots go. Do not wait for “after Chinese New Year” if the unit already smells or drips.
Do you send calendar reminders?
After a visit we can note your interval and WhatsApp when the next one is due. Hours Monday–Sunday 9:00 AM–6:00 PM across KL and Selangor.
Definitions
Key terms in this guide, explained
Short, plain-language definitions of the terms used above — written by the technicians who do the work, not copied from a manufacturer brochure.
What is a pressure chemical wash?
A pressure chemical wash is a deep clean done with the indoor unit still on the wall. The technician sheets the wall and floor, sprays a coil-safe chemical onto the evaporator fins and blower wheel, then flushes everything out with a pressurised water jet into a catch bag. It removes the mould film and dust mat that ordinary filter washing cannot reach. Published price starts at RM 120 for a 1.0–1.5 HP wall unit.
Most Klang Valley homes need one every 10–12 months; every 6 months if the unit runs overnight or the room faces a construction site.
What does HP mean on an aircond?
HP is the informal Malaysian shorthand for cooling capacity, carried over from compressor horsepower. In practice 1.0 HP ≈ 9,000 BTU/h, 1.5 HP ≈ 12,000 BTU/h, 2.0 HP ≈ 18,000 BTU/h and 2.5 HP ≈ 24,000 BTU/h. Service, chemical wash and installation prices are all quoted against these bands, which is why the technician asks for HP before quoting.
HP is printed on the indoor unit's side label and on the outdoor nameplate — check there rather than guessing from room size.
Workmanship cover — what is included, and what is not?
A workmanship warranty covers the labour: if the fault comes back because of how the job was done — a joint that leaks, a drain that was not cleared, a bracket that was not levelled — the contractor returns and fixes it at no charge. The brand warranty is separate and covers manufactured parts such as the compressor or PCB, and it survives only if the unit was installed and serviced correctly.

Side-by-side comparison
Chemical wash vs basic servicing: what does each one clean?
Both are cleaning visits, but they clean different parts of the unit and are not interchangeable.
| What to compare | Pressure chemical wash | Basic servicing |
|---|---|---|
| What gets cleaned | Coil, blower wheel, drain tray, filters | Filters, panel, drain flush, outdoor coil brush-down |
| Fixes smell and weak airflow | Yes — that is the point of it | Only if the filter was the blockage |
| Time on site | 45–90 minutes per unit | 20–30 minutes per unit |
| Published price (1.0–1.5 HP) | RM 120 | RM 99 |
In short: Book basic servicing on a 3–4 month rhythm; book a chemical wash when the smell, the airflow or the water dripping tells you the coil itself is loaded.
