Lagos is hot. Really hot. And between the heat, the dust carried by the Harmattan, and the humidity that hangs in the air for much of the year, your air conditioner works harder here than in almost any other environment. That constant strain is exactly why regular servicing is not optional, it is essential.
When an AC runs without servicing, its filters clog with dust, the indoor and outdoor coils get dirty, and the refrigerant charge slowly drops. The result is a unit that cools less, uses more electricity, and is far more likely to break down at the worst possible moment, usually in the middle of a hot Lagos afternoon.
So how often should you service your AC in Lagos? For most homes, we recommend a full service every 3 to 4 months. If you live near a busy road or in a particularly dusty area, lean towards every 3 months. For commercial spaces (offices, shops, restaurants) where the AC runs for long hours and often serves many people, every 2 to 3 months is safer.
A proper service is more than just cleaning the filter. At ByHolla Services, each service includes a deep clean of the indoor filters and coils, cleaning of the outdoor condenser, a refrigerant pressure check, inspection of electrical connections, and flushing of the drainage line. We also check for small issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
The cost of skipping servicing is always higher than the cost of keeping up with it. A clean, well-charged AC uses noticeably less power, cools faster, lasts longer, and avoids the emergency repair bills that neglected units inevitably attract. It is one of the simplest ways to protect both your comfort and your wallet in Lagos.
If you are not sure when your AC was last serviced, that is a sign it is due. Get in touch with ByHolla Services and we will get your units back to peak condition, and set up a maintenance plan so you never have to think about it again.
